| knee sprain | <orthopaedics> Any injury to one of six different ligaments which stabilise the knee joint. Those ligaments include: medial and lateral collaterals, medial and lateral meniscus and the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. Knee sprains are characterised by knee pain, swelling and tenderness with range of motion. Severe sprains may result in a knee joint effusion (blood inside the joint). Completely torn ligaments may require surgical repair to reestablish knee joint stability. (17 Dec 1997) |

| knock-knee | <medicine> A condition in which the knees are bent in so as to touch each other in walking; inknee. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| locked knee | A condition in which the knee lacks full extension and flexion because of internal derangement, usually the result of a torn medial meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute transverse myelitis | Acute inflammation and softening of the spinal cord; involves the entire thickness of the spinal cord but of limited longitudinal extent; multiple aetiologies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal transverse fissure | A transverse fissure on the visceral surface of the liver between the caudate and quadrate lobes, lodging the portal vein, hepatic artery, hepatic nerve plexus, hepatic ducts, and lymphatic vessels. Synonym: caudal transverse fissure, portal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesentery of transverse colon | See: mesocolon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for transverse sinus | The groove on the inner surface of the occipital bone marking the course of the transverse sinus; the tentorium is attached to its margins. Synonym: sulcus sinus transversi, sulcus for transverse sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle transverse rectal fold | See: transverse rectal folds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| midgastric transverse sphincter | Angular sphincter, thickening of the circular muscular layer forming a proposed intermediate sphincter at the level of the angular notch of the stomach. While the thickening of the circular muscle may indicate the commencement of the pyloric antrum, true functional sphincteric activity distinct from the other peristaltic contractions of the stomach is not observed although some of these may in fact temporarily close off the antrum from the remainder of the stomach lumen. Synonym: antral sphincter, midgastric transverse sphincter, sphincter antri, sphincter intermedius, sphincter of antrum, sphincter of gastric antrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelitis, transverse | Myelitis in which the functional effect of the lesions spans the width of the entire cord at a given level. (12 Dec 1998) |
| costal pit of transverse process | A facet on the transverse process of a vertebra for articulation with the tubercle of a rib. Synonym: fovea costalis processus transversi, costal pit of transverse process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for transverse sinus | The groove on the inner surface of the occipital bone marking the course of the transverse sinus; the tentorium is attached to its margins. Synonym: sulcus sinus transversi, sulcus for transverse sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial branch of the transverse cervical artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of transverse cervical artery which accompanies the spinal accessory nerve on the deep surface of the trapezius muscle. Alternatively arises as a direct branch of the thyrocervical trunk, in which case it is called the superficial cervical artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial transverse muscle of perineum | <anatomy> An inconstant muscle; origin, ramus of ischium; insertion, central tendon of perineum; action, draws back and fixes the central tendon of the perineum; nerve supply, pudendal (perineal). Synonym: musculus transversus perinei superficialis, superficial transverse muscle of perineum, Theile's muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial transverse perineal muscle | <anatomy> An inconstant muscle; origin, ramus of ischium; insertion, central tendon of perineum; action, draws back and fixes the central tendon of the perineum; nerve supply, pudendal (perineal). Synonym: musculus transversus perinei superficialis, superficial transverse muscle of perineum, Theile's muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
