| cruciate ligament of the atlas | The strong ligament that lies posterior to the dens of the axis holding it against the anterior arch of the atlas; it consists primarily of the transverse ligament of the atlas that forms the cross-bar of the cross and is most important functionally, and longitudinal bands of the cruciform ligament, forming the upright or vertical beams of the cross. Synonym: ligamentum cruciforme atlantis, crucial ligament, cruciate ligament of the atlas, ligamentum cruciatum atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior cruciate ligament | <anatomy> A ligament that stabilises the knee joint. <orthopaedics> A common type of knee sprain which involves injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. The knee with an anterior cruciate ligament injury will usually appear swollen and tender. Reconstruction of the ligament is possible using a fibreoptic procedure, known as arthroscopy, is used in the surgical repair of any of several knee ligaments including the anterior cruciate ligament, lateral or medial meniscus, lateral collateral or medial collateral ligament. Recovery from this procedure is based largely on the ligament repaired and can be highly variable. (06 Oct 1997) |
| posterior cruciate ligament | <anatomy> A strong ligament of the knee that originates from the anterolateral surface of the medial condyle of the femur, passes posteriorly and inferiorly between the condyles, and attaches to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cruciate ligament of leg | A Y-shaped ligament restraining the extensor tendons of the foot distal to the ankle joint. Synonym: retinaculum musculorum extensorum inferius, cruciate ligament of leg, inferior retinaculum of extensor muscles, ligamentum cruciatum cruris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cruciform ligament of atlas | The strong ligament that lies posterior to the dens of the axis holding it against the anterior arch of the atlas; it consists primarily of the transverse ligament of the atlas that forms the cross-bar of the cross and is most important functionally, and longitudinal bands of the cruciform ligament, forming the upright or vertical beams of the cross. Synonym: ligamentum cruciforme atlantis, crucial ligament, cruciate ligament of the atlas, ligamentum cruciatum atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse ligament of the atlas | Thick, strong, centrally flattened band spanning the vertebral foramen of the atlas as it extends from the medial aspect of one lateral mass to the other, passing dorsal to the dens with which it articulates; it forms the dorsal portion of the opening for the dens, tightly embracing its neck. It forms a part of the "cross-bar" of the cruciform ligament of the atlas. See: cruciform ligament of atlas. Synonym: ligamentum transversum atlantis, Lauth's ligament, transverse atlantal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior cruciate | <anatomy> The cruciate ligaments are cross-shaped within the knee joint. The posterior cruciate is deeper (more posterior) within the joint and not as commonly injured as the anterior cruciate. (13 Nov 1997) |
| cruciate | (anterior) One the most commonly injured ligaments which stabilises the knee joint. (posterior) The cruciate ligaments are cross-shaped within the knee joint. The posterior cruciate is deeper (more posterior) within the joint and not as commonly injured as the anterior cruciate. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cruciate anastomosis | Crucial anastomosis, a four-way anastomosis between branches of the first perforating branch of the deep femoral, inferior gluteal and medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries, located posterior to the upper part of the femur. Formerly described as commonly occurring; investigations show it rarely occurs in the four-way "cross" pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cruciate eminence | Bony cross-like elevation on the internal aspect of the squamous portion of the occipital bone formed by the intersection of the groove for the transverse sinuses and the internal occipital crest, with the internal occipital protuberance at the centre of the "cross." Synonym: eminentia cruciformis, cruciate eminence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cruciate ligaments of knee | <radiology> Anterior lateral fem condyle leading to tibial spine, posterior thicker than ACL, tears at tibial insertion, may avulse fragment (12 Dec 1998) |
| cruciate muscle | <anatomy> A general type of muscle in which the muscles or bundles of muscle fibres cross in an X-shaped configuration; e.g., the oblique arytenoid muscles. Synonym: musculus cruciatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior arch of atlas | An arch that connects the lateral masses of the atlas anteriorly and articulates with the anterior articular facet of the dens of the axis. Synonym: arcus anterior atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tubercle of atlas | A conical protuberance on the anterior surface of the arch of the atlas. Synonym: tuberculum anterius atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atlas | 1. One who sustains a great burden. 2. <anatomy> The first vertebra of the neck, articulating immediately with the skull, thus sustaining the globe of the head, whence the name. 3. A collection of maps in a volume. Supposed to be so called from a picture of Atlas supporting the world, prefixed to some collections. This name is said to have been first used by Mercator, the celebrated geographer, in the 16th century. 4. <chemistry> Atlas powder, a nitroglycerin blasting compound of pasty consistency and great explosive power. Origin: L. Atlas, -antis, Gr, one of the older family of gods, who bears up the pillars of heaven; also Mt. Atlas, in W. Africa, regarded as the pillar of heaven. It is from the root of to bear. See Tolerate. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
