|
| The only known synapomorphy of this group is the presence of a sesamoid bone in the heel region. |
|
| A sesamoid bone is occasionally contained within the tendon of the triceps muscle proximal to the olecranon. |
|
| The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body and provides increased mechanical advantage for knee extension. |
|
| Hunt discovered a high fracture that does not involve the sesamoid bones. |
|
| Pass the blade between the posterior end of the tibia and the sesamoid bone in the Achilles tendon. |
|
| The distal soft tissue release, the removal of the exostosis, and the mobilization of the sesamoid bone are not explained either. |
|
| Interestingly it is the radial sesamoid which is responsible for the opposable thumb found in the Panda. |
|
| The fabella is a sesamoid bone of the lateral gastrocnemius muscle. |
|
| I met a guy yesterday who has a fibular sesamoid fracture as well, he's had it for three years. |
|
| The so-called panda's thumb, or radial sesamoid bone, is a wrist bone that now functions as an opposable thumb, allowing giant pandas to grasp and manipulate bamboo stems with dexterity. |
|
| The ancestors of giant pandas and all closely related species, such as black bears, raccoons, and red pandas, also have sesamoid bones, though the latter species do not feed on bamboo or use the bone for feeding behaviour. |
|
| Ruffian was humanely destroyed after fracturing the sesamoid bones of her right front ankle early in the running of her match race with Foolish Pleasure at Belmont Park. |
|
| Also contributing to stability are the sesamoid ligaments, which connect the metatarsal head to the sesamoids, and the hood ligament, which stabilizes the extensor tendons dorsally. |
|
| Additionally, the sesamoid bone in the mole, sensu stricto, is a bone that develops within a tendon. |
|
| Such bones are termed heterotopic or sesamoid elements. |
|
| Paul Messara's charge was reported to have sustained a cut above the sesamoid bone on her front leg when suffering an overreach. |
|
| My company's PT said I'd bruised my sesamoid and couldn't perform until it felt better. |
|
|
|
| According to previous findings the tibia is separate so it is more similar to a sesamoid bone. |
|
| The patella is largest sesamoid bone in the body and plays an important role in the function of the extensor mechanism of the knee. |
|
| When her sesamoid bone exploded, she guaranteed her demise by trying to forge on through the fracture. |
|
| It's a minor problem that occasionally happens when you bang one or two sesamoid bones beneath the big toe joint. |
|
| All measurements without considering the sesamoid bones were automatically calculated by this program. |
|
| It looks like she'll be ok, there's a lot of bruising and she has a swollen sesamoid. |
|
| The presence or absence of the pisiform and adductor sesamoid bones is also noted. |
|
| The Giants said Dr. William Hamilton operated on Hilliard's metatarsal phalangeal joint and also removed about a third of the sesamoid bone during surgery at St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan. |
|
| Note on the independence of sesamoid and epiphyseal centers of ossification. |
|
| Using molecular markers, the researchers can now show for the first time that it develops later than the real fingers from a transformed sesamoid bone in the wrist. |
