Figure 5.3a Anatomy of a Representative Bone Epiphysis Metaphysis Diaphysis (shaft) Metaphysis Epiphysis a The femur, or thigh bone, in posterior and sectional views. The femur has a diaphysis (shaft) with walls of compact bone and epiphyses (ends) filled with spongy bone. A metaphysis separates the diaphysis and epiphysis at each end of the shaft. The body weight is transferred to the femur at the hip joint. Because the hip joint is off center relative to the axis of the shaft, the body weight is distributed along the bone so that the medial portion of the shaft is compressed and the lateral portion is stretched. © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 2019 IWIW Meeting Abstracts, Las Vegas, Wed. Sept. 4Th SESSION 1
    2019 IWIW Meeting Abstracts, Las Vegas, Wed. Sept. 4th SESSION 1: Carpal Ligament 1 Stable Central Column Theory of Carpal Mechanics Michael Sandow FRACS Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic Adelaide, Australia Background: The carpus is a complicated and functionally challenged mechanical system and advancements in the understanding have been compromised by the recognition that there is no standard carpal mechanical system and no typical wrist. This paper cover component of a larger project that seeks to develop a kinetic model of wrist mechanics to allow reverse analysis of the specific biomechanical controls or rule of a specific patient's carpus, and then use those to create a forward mathematical model to reproduce the unique individual's anatomical motion based on the extracted rules. Objectives and Methods: Based on previous observations, the carpus essentially moves with only 2 degrees of freedom - pitch (flexion / extension) and yaw (radial deviation / ulnar deviation), while largely preventing roll (pronation / supination). The object of this paper is therefore to present the background and justification to support the rules based motion (RBM) concept states that the motion of a mechanical system, such as the wrist, is the net interplay of 4 rules - morphology, constraint, interaction and load. The Stable Central Column Theory (SCCT) of wrist mechanics applies the concept of RBM to the carpus, and by using a reverse engineering computational analysis model, identified a consistent pattern of isometric constraints, creating a "Two-Gear Four-Bar" linkage. This study assessed the motion of the carpus using a 3D dynamic visualization model, and the hypothesis was that the pattern and direction of motion of the proximal row, and the distal row with respect the immediately cephalad carpal bones or radius would be very similar in all directions of wrist motion.

  • A Review of Natural Joint Systems and Numerical Investigation of Bio-Inspired GFRP-To-Steel Joints
    materials Article A Review of Natural Joint Systems and Numerical Investigation of Bio-Inspired GFRP-to-Steel Joints Evangelos I. Avgoulas and Michael P. F. Sutcliffe * Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1PZ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-1223-332-996 Academic Editor: Frank Müller Received: 25 April 2016; Accepted: 1 July 2016; Published: 12 July 2016 Abstract: There are a great variety of joint types used in nature which can inspire engineering joints. In order to design such biomimetic joints, it is at first important to understand how biological joints work. A comprehensive literature review, considering natural joints from a mechanical point of view, was undertaken. This was used to develop a taxonomy based on the different methods/functions that nature successfully uses to attach dissimilar tissues. One of the key methods that nature uses to join dissimilar materials is a transitional zone of stiffness at the insertion site. This method was used to propose bio-inspired solutions with a transitional zone of stiffness at the joint site for several glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) to steel adhesively bonded joint configurations. The transition zone was used to reduce the material stiffness mismatch of the joint parts. A numerical finite element model was used to identify the optimum variation in material stiffness that minimises potential failure of the joint. The best bio-inspired joints showed a 118% increase of joint strength compared to the standard joints. Keywords: natural joints; adhesive joints; biomimetics; bio-inspiration; composites 1. Introduction In recent years, the use of composite materials in automotive and aerospace industries has shown an upward trend due to their good stiffness-to-weight (E/r) and strength-to-weight (s/r) ratios.

Therefore, the purpose of the present research was to study its morphology to improve our understanding of its structure and potential variation. Methods: Ten adult cadavers (four males and six females) underwent dissection of the left and right hip joints to observe the morphology and location of the zona orbicularis. A digital caliper was used to measure the length and width of the zona orbic- ularis. Results: We found a zona orbicularis on all sides and that when present anteriorly, many of the inferior fibers of the zona orbic- ularis were confluent with the fibers of the iliofemoral ligament. The mean length for right sides was 35.95 mm and the mean length for left sides was 43.93 mm. The mean width for right sides was 3.74 mm and the mean width for left sides was 4.4 mm.

Age-dependent changes due to chronic stress and cellular degradation cause thickening and stiffening of the CAL that may contribute to a spectrum of shoulder pathology from capsular tightness to rotator cuff tear arthropathy and impingement syndrome. Objectives: This study conducted to observe the different types of CAL and its relationship with coracoacromial veil. Materials and Methods: The study conducted on 50 upper limbs at Bowring & Lady Curzon medical college & research institute and Bangalore medical college & research institute. The upper limbs were dissected at the shoulder joint complex and acromion process and coracoid process were appreciated and coracoacromial ligaments were appreciated for their types and morphometry. Results and Conclusion: Four types of CAL were observed in this study.

  • Degenerative Joint Disease
    DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE As our pets age, the tissues lining the bones and joints may deteriorate and degenerate. Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) describes chronic arthritis (osteoarthritis) which is a gradual deterioration of articular cartilage within the joints. What is DJD? Joints consist of a tough fibrous joint capsule joining the bones. The joint capsule is lined by a thin membrane which produces joint fluid. This acts as a lubricant and also carries nourishment to the spongy articular cartilage which covers the ends of the bones. The articular cartilage does not have any blood supply of its own to provide nourishment and oxygen. The articular cartilage receives nourishment from small vessels in the underlying bone and through absorption from the joint fluid. DJD can follow a number of joint diseases including infection and surgery. It also occurs from excessive weight and obesity. This smooth resilient cartilage degenerates and becomes brittle and may actually split from the bone and become detached within the joint. Although DJD is said to be non-inflammatory, mild inflammation plays a part in causing clinical signs. The damaged cells of the cartilage release substances which result in inflammation, pain and further damage to the cartilage. Thus, once DJD begins it can become a vicious cycle. Can the condition be cured? Most of the damage caused by DJD is irreversible. Fortunately, new products are available that can slow the progress of the disease and promote cartilage healing. In addition, modern analgesics can effectively control pain without few side effects. We will discuss treatment options to allow your pet to enjoy a happy, pain free life.
