femoral condyle

The epicondyle of the inner femoral condyle is well-developed.

They are posterior to the medial femoral condyle.

Its proximal fibers fan out along the medial wall of the lateral femoral condyle.

The medial femoral condyle has an extra segment which is the cause for the passive rotation of the knee joint.

Pain over the lateral knee where the iliotibial band passes over the femoral condyle.

A deformity of the lateral femoral condyle also indicated the presence of a previous fracture at this site.

A sesamoid bone that is within the lateral head of gastrocnemius, which often articulates with the femoral condyle.

It runs from the posterior femoral condyle to the anterior tibial condyle.

The tibial condyle is crushed or split by the opposing femoral condyle, which remains intact.

The most common injury to the lateral femoral condyle is an osteochondral fracture combined with a patellar dislocation.

The Wilson test is also useful in locating OCD lesions of the femoral condyle.

They described a radioluscent area in the femoral condyle surrounded by a sclerotic halo and associated with a focally active bone scan.

A subsequent arthroscopy of the right knee dated April 6, 1983, diagnosed the claimant with osteochondritis of the femoral condyle.

If the plica tethers the patella to the femoral condyle, the symptoms may cause it to be mistaken for chondromalacia patellae.

X-rays showed a problem, Osteochondritis dissecans of the left femoral condyle, in which a part of the bone, was becoming detached from the femur.

It can become hypertrophic and may become impinged between the patella and the femoral condyle, causing sharp pain when the leg is extended.

Examination reveals tenderness of the medial femoral condyle, joint effusion, and occasional locking of the knee joint.

On June 10, 1998, the orthopaedic surgeon commented that the arthroscopic evaluation of October 16, 1997, demonstrated right knee medial femoral condyle articular surface damage.

The posterior and anterior meniscofemoral ligaments stretch from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the medial femoral condyle.

The medial gastrocnemius tendon arises proximal and posterior to the gastrocnemius tubercle of the medial femoral condyle.

On September 12, 1997, the claimant underwent "arthroscopy and arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy with debridement of the medial femoral condyle right knee".

On July 9, 1997, an orthopaedic surgeon reported that the claimant presented with signs and symptoms suggesting a torn right medial meniscus or traumatic femoral condyle chondromalacia.

The plica can tether the patella to the femur, be located between the femur and patella, or be located along the femoral condyle.

May be caused by a valgus force combined with axial loading that leads to the lateral femoral condyle being driven into the articular surface of the tibial plateau.

The latter directs the forces directly up the tibia into the knee, while the straight-knee position places the anterior femoral condyle on the back-slanted portion of the tibia.
