| nail-patella syndrome | <radiology> Fong syndrome, hereditary arthrodysplasia, J.W. Turner syndrome, autosomal dominant Features: abnormal fingernails, absent/hypoplastic patella, defects in radial head, iliac horns (bony processes along posterior surfaces of iliac bones), discoloration of iris (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, nail-patella | Hereditary dominant condition with abnormally formed (dysplastic) or absent nails and absent or underdeveloped (hypoplastic) kneecaps (patellae). Other features include iliac horns (symmetrical bilateral central posterior iliac processes), abnormality of the elbows interfering with full range of motion (pronation and supination) and kidney disease resembling glomerulonephritis which.is often mild but can be progressive and lead to renal failure. The nail-patella gene locus found linked genetically to the abo blood group in1965 is now known to be in chromosome region 9q34. Also called onychoosteodysplasia, turner-kieser syndrome, and fong disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| floating patella | A patella riding high on effusion of the knee. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial articular facies of clavicle | Synonym: acromial articular surface of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular | <orthopaedics, rheumatology> Of or pertaining to a joint. Origin: L. Articularis (18 Nov 1997) |
| articular branches | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular capsule | A sac enclosing a joint, formed by an outer fibrous articular capsule and an inner synovial membrane. Synonym: capsula articularis, joint capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular cartilage | The cartilage covering the articular surfaces of the bones participating in a synovial joint. Synonym: cartilago articularis, arthrodial cartilage, diarthrodial cartilage, investing cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular cavity | A joint cavity, the potential space bounded by the synovial membrane and articular cartilages of all synovial joints. Normally, the articular cavity contains only sufficient synovial fluid to lubricate the internal surfaces. Synonym: cavitas articularis, cavum articulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular circumference of radius | The portion of the head of the radius that articulates with the radial notch of the ulna. Synonym: circumferentia articularis radii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular circumference of ulna | The portion of the head of the ulna that articulates with the ulnar notch of the radius. Synonym: circumferentia articularis ulnae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular corpuscles | Encapsulated nerve terminations within joint capsules. Synonym: corpuscula articularia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular crescent | A crescent-shaped intra-articular fibrocartilage found in certain joints. Synonym: meniscus articularis, articular crescent, intra-articular cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular crests | Crests formed by the fusion of articular processes of all the sacral vertebrae. Synonym: articular crests, cristae sacrales intermediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
