The surface features of bones vary considerably, depending on the function and location in the body. There are three general classes of bone markings: (1) articulations, (2) projections, and (3) holes. As the name implies, an articulation is where two bone surfaces come together (articulus = “joint”).
Table 7.2 describes the bone markings, which are illustrated in (Figure 7.2.1). There are three general classes of bone markings: (1) articulations, (2) projections, and (3) holes. As the name implies, an articulation is where two bone surfaces come together (articulus = “joint”).
A condyle is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint – an articulation with another bone. [2] The epicondyle refers to a projection near a condyle, particularly the medial epicondyle of the humerus . [ 3 ]
17 maj 2020 · The peroneal tubercle (PT) is a small bone protuberance found at the lateral aspect of the calcaneum that acts as a pulley for the peroneal longus tendon . An anatomic study on 114 calcaneal specimens revealed a PT in 90.4% of specimens [ 21 ].
6 maj 2024 · Surgeons rely on bone markings to guide incisions, identify anatomical structures, and navigate around critical areas such as nerves and blood vessels. On the other hand, maladaptive bony prominences can impair normal anatomical function and contribute to musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain.
Near the middle of the squamous part of occipital bone is the external occipital protuberance, the highest point of which is referred to as the inion. The inion is the most prominent projection of the protuberance which is located at the posterioinferior (rear lower) part of the human skull.
