| UFD | ultrasonic flow detector; unilateral facet dislocation |
| oblong pit of arytenoid cartilage | A broad shallow depression on the anterolateral surface of the arytenoid cartilage, for attachment of the thyroarytenoid muscle. Synonym: fovea oblonga cartilaginis arytenoideae, oblong pit of arytenoid cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| transverse arytenoid muscle | <anatomy> A band of muscular fibres passing between the two arytenoid cartilages posteriorly; action, narrows the intercartilaginous portion of the rima glottidis; nerve supply, recurrent laryngeal. Synonym: musculus arytenoideus transversus, arytenoideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| triangular fovea of arytenoid cartilage | A deep depression in the upper portion of the anterolateral surface of the arytenoid cartilage, lodging glands. Synonym: fovea triangularis cartilaginis arytenoideae, triangular pit of arytenoid cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| triangular pit of arytenoid cartilage | A deep depression in the upper portion of the anterolateral surface of the arytenoid cartilage, lodging glands. Synonym: fovea triangularis cartilaginis arytenoideae, triangular pit of arytenoid cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromioclavicular dislocation | <orthopaedics> Disruption of the normal articulation between the acromion process and the clavicle. The acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) is normally stabilised by several ligaments that can be torn in the process of dislocating the AC joint). See: acromioclavicular sprain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| patellar dislocation | <radiology> most common in young girls, (genu valgum, patella alta, quad mm deficiency more in girls), lateral dislocation, spontaneous reduction, recurrent dislocation, fracture associated in 5-10% (12 Dec 1998) |
| perilunar dislocation | Dislocation of carpal bones around the lunate, which remains in relation to the radius; distinguish from dislocation of lunate, Kienbock's dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perilunate dislocation | <radiology> Lunate remains aligned with radius, capitate dislocates (usually posteriorly), more common than lunate dislocation (radial-lunate ligaments stronger than lunate-capitate ligaments), associated with scaphoid fractures (75%) = transscaphoid perilunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| chopart fracture-dislocation | <radiology> A fracture-dislocation occuring through the hindfoot-midfoot joint (i.e., tarsonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints) (12 Dec 1998) |
| closed dislocation | A dislocation not complicated by an external wound. Synonym: simple dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compound dislocation | Synonym: open dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital hip dislocation | A malformation of the hip joint that is present at birth. Genetic factors likely play a role in this disorder. Features include hip dislocation, asymmetry of leg positions, asymmetric fat folds and diminished movement on the affected side. Some children will exhibit little or no features and must be diagnosed by physical examination of the hip joints. (27 Sep 1997) |
| wrist dislocation | <radiology> 10% of all carpal injuries due to fall on outstretched hand, perilunate dislocation (more common), lunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip dislocation | <radiology> Usually posterior, hip flexed, knee hits dashboard during deceleration, superior migration of femoral head, with or without acetabular fracture (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip dislocation, congenital | Congenital dislocation of the hip generally includes subluxation of the femoral head, acetabular dysplasia, and complete dislocation of the femoral head from the true acetabulum. This condition occurs in approximately 1 in 1000 live births and is more common in females than in males. (12 Dec 1998) |
