The patella or kneecap on each side is an example of a larger sesamoid bone.

The patella ( kneecap ) is the bone in front of the knee.

Paella is a Valencian word which derives from the Old French word paelle for pan which in turn comes from the Latin word patella for pan.

A boy's discus was about twelve centimeters in diameter, while a normal adult patella is around five centimeters, suggesting Ajax may have been around 14 feet (~ 4. 3 meters ) tall.

A very effective way of off-loading the ITB and restoring VMO control / normal medial glide of the patella, is via " McConnell's Taping ", or taping pulling the knee medially ( inward ).

Scoliosis is sometimes associated with other conditions, such as Ehlers – Danlos syndrome ( hyperflexibility, " floppy baby " syndrome, and other variants of the condition ), Charcot – Marie – Tooth disease, Prader – Willi syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, kyphosis, cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy, muscular dystrophy, familial dysautonomia, CHARGE syndrome, Friedreich's ataxia, fragile X syndrome, proteus syndrome, spina bifida, Marfan's syndrome, nail – patella syndrome, neurofibromatosis, connective tissue disorders, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, hemihypertrophy, and craniospinal axis disorders ( e. g., syringomyelia, mitral valve prolapse, Arnold – Chiari malformation ), and amniotic band syndrome.

The most common health issue is Luxating patella.

Luxating patella is another health issue in the Pomeranian breed.

Each leg is composed of six segments: the coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, and tarsus.

The knee is a hinge type synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the femoropatellar articulation consists of the patella, or " kneecap ", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides ; and the medial and lateral femorotibial articulations linking the femur, or thigh bone, with the tibia, the main bone of the lower leg.

The patella is inserted into the thin anterior wall of the joint capsule.

It is also occasionally called the patellar tendon because there is no definite separation between the quadriceps tendon ( which surrounds the patella ) and the area connecting the patella to the tibia.

Patellar luxation, also known as luxating patella, is a hereditary disorder affecting the knees.

The tuberosity of the tibia, a crest to which the patellar ligament attaches in mammals, is instead the insertion point for the tendon of the quadriceps muscle in reptiles, birds, and amphibians, which have no patella.

The patella, also known as the knee cap or kneepan, is a thick, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.

The patella is roughly triangular in shape with its base facing proximally ( towards the torso ) and its tip ( apex patellae ) facing distally ( towards the feet ).

The breed is also one of the least likely to be affected by a luxating patella, where the knee cap slips out of place.

Attenuated patella alta is an extremely rare condition affecting mobility and leg strength.

It is characterized by an unusually small knee cap ( patella ) that develops out of and above the joint.

A similar condition, patella alta, can occur as the result of a sports injury, though the large majority of the time it is a congenital / developmental condition that is unrelated to trauma.

This very strong ligament helps give the patella its mechanical leverage and also functions as a cap for the condyles of the femur.

Patellar Lunation, also known as luxating patella, refers to the dislocation of the kneecap.

However, Paulos later told the Associated Press that the damage was more extensive and also included a dislocation of the patella.

On 3 March 2010 Oram again injured his patella tendon against Australia, thus leading him to miss another series and also the 2010 IPL.

He investigated inguinal hernia, patella and the best form of shoe.

Examples of sesamoid bones are the patella and the pisiform.

In this process, osteocytes inflitrate the tendon and lay down bone as they would in sesamoid bone such as the patella.

In dogs, the patella is a small bone that shields the front of the stifle joint.

Sinding – Larsen – Johansson syndrome, named after Sven Christian Johansson ( 1880-1959 ), a Swedish Surgeon and Christian Magnus Falsen Sindig-Larsen ( 1866-1930 ), a Norwegian Physician, is an analogous condition involving the patellar tendon and the lower margin of the patella bone, instead of the upper margin of the tibia.

A straight stifle limits the ligaments across the patella, predisposing the horse to upward fixation of the patella, with the stifle in a locked position, which interferes with performance and can lead to arthritis of the stifle.

Tape from the bottom half of the patella, to under the knee over the patella tendon.

* The patella and the ulna protect the knee and the elbow respectively.

It occurs when, through either malformation or trauma, the ridges forming the patellar groove in the knee are not prominent and are too shallow to allow the patella to properly sit securely.

This can cause the patella to " luxate " ( jump out of the groove ) sideways which will cause the leg to lock up with the foot off the ground.

Whilst the muscles are contracted the patella cannot return to the correct position.

The knee joint joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two articulations: one between the femur and tibia, and one between the femur and patella.

Two non-communicative bursae are located in front of the patella and below the patellar tendon, and others are sometimes present.

The patellar ligament connects the patella to the tuberosity of the tibia.

It is also possible, but equally doubtful, that he actually shot down the hundreds of men with which his legend credits him.

Recognizing that the Rule of Law is `` a dynamic concept which should be employed not only to safeguard the civil and political rights of the individual in a free society '', the Congress asserted that it also included the responsibility `` to establish social, economic, educational and cultural conditions under which his legitimate aspirations and dignity may be realized ''.

At General Power's seat in the balcony there is also a gold phone.

In addition to the authentication and acknowledgment procedures which precede and follow the sending of the go messages, again in special codes, each message also contains an `` internal authenticator '', another specific signal to convince the recipient that he is getting the real thing.

He added that he also stresses the works of these favorite masters on tour, especially Mahler's First and Fourth symphonies, and Das Lied Von der Erde, and Bruckner's Sixth -- which is rarely played -- and Seventh.

The test of form is fidelity to the experience, a gauge also accepted by the abstract expressionist painters.

Though he is also concerned with freeing dance from pedestrian modes of activity, Merce Cunningham has selected a very different method for achieving his aim.

The answers derived by these means may determine not only the temporal organization of the dance but also its spatial design, special slips designating the location on the stage where the movement is to be performed.

It is because there is not only darkness but also light that our situation becomes inexplicable.

but there is also compassion.

also he is a drunk, and has lost his job on that account.

And if I have gone into so much detail about so small a work, that is because it is also so typical a work, representing the germinal form of a conflict which remains essential in Mann's writing: the crude sketch of Piepsam contains, in its critical, destructive and self-destructive tendencies, much that is enlarged and illuminated in the figures of, for instance, Naphta and Leverkuhn.

By `` image '' is meant not only a visual presentation, but also remembered sensations of any of the five senses plus the feelings which are immediately conjoined therewith.

he is questioning, also, every epistemology which stems from Hume's presupposition that experience is merely sense data in abstraction from causal efficacy, and that causal efficacy is something intellectually imputed to the world, not directly perceived.

`` The Rocking Horse Winner '' is also a story about a boy's love for his mother.

Evidence is plentiful that early and later also he has been indebted to the Gothic romancers, who deal in extravagant horror, to the symbolists writing at the end of the preceding century, and in particular to the stream-of-consciousness novelists, Henry James and James Joyce among them.
