Between the ankle and the first interosseous space the artery lies comparatively superficial, being here covered only by the skin and fascia and cellular membrane.
When this vessel appears deficient, its place is usually supplied by some branch of the peronaeal or posterior tibial, which pierces the interosseous ligament from behind.
The fibrous septum between this muscle and the extensor communis, will serve as a guide to the vessel in the upper third of the leg, where it lies deeply on the interosseous ligament.
Its deep palmar branch is seen lying on the interosseous muscles, M M.
The brachial artery usually divides, at the bend of the elbow, into the radial, the ulnar, and the interosseous branches.
Here it will be found, close in front of the interosseous ligament, at about an inch and-a-half in depth from the anterior surface, and removed from the spine of the tibia at an interval equal to the width of the tibialis anticus muscle.
The frequent anastomosis thus seen to take place between the branches of the radial, the ulnar, and the interosseous arteries in the hand, should be carefully borne in mind by the surgeon.
The tibialis anticus lies along the outer side of the tibia, from which, and from the head of the fibula and interosseous ligament, it arises tendinous and fleshy.
To effect this the navicular is closely and firmly attached to the third phalanx by an interosseous ligament.
The interosseous and postero-lateral ligaments of the articulation often participate in the inflammatory changes, and in many cases become completely ossified.
Three in number, they are distinguished as an Internal and an External Metacarpal, and a Deep or Interosseous Metacarpal.
This is a synovial sheath lining the deep face of the tendon, and reflected on to the navicular bone and the interosseous ligament of the pedal joint.
The Interosseous Ligament consists of extremely short fibres running from the extensively grooved portion of the anterior surface of the navicular bone to become attached to the os pedis immediately behind its articular surface.
The X-ray showed a decalcification of all the bones of the hand and wrist; trophic disturbance of the small carpal bones although the trauma had affected only the second interosseous space.
This patient had flaccid paralysis of hand and fingers following wound in second dorsal interosseous space and vasomotor disorder and local hypothermia in the hand.
The superior in Man is usually cut off i from the knee and is a gliding joint; the middle is the interosseous membrane, while the lower has been already used as an example of a syndesmosis or fibrous half joint.
The middle radio-ulnar articulation is simply an interosseous membrane, the fibres of which run downward and inward from the radius to the ulna.
The tarsal bones are connected by dorsal, plantar andinterosseous ligaments.
The two bones of the forearm are strongly bound to one another by an interosseous ligament, which is formed of very short fibres.
It is with these latter that are blended the long and slender tendons which form in a great measure the two other interosseousmuscles previously described.
As for the interosseous muscles, they are represented by the suspensory ligament of the fetlock, and by two other small muscles, tendinous throughout, which are situated between the principal metacarpal and the rudimentary ones.
We may further add that the suspensory ligament of the fetlock in ruminants and solipeds represents, as in the fore-limbs, the interosseous muscles.
The body of the radius is united to the body of the ulna by a short, thick, interosseous ligament; the fibres of this ligament, though short, do not prevent the production of some movements at the articulations of the bones.
It is needless to tie the radial, or the ulnar, or both; for still blood will be poured in by the interosseous and its anastomoses.
The muscles in the interosseous space are then completely divided, and the knife swept round the bones to detach the soft parts still uncut.
The tibio-fibular interosseous ligament may rupture, or the outer portion of the tibia, to which it is attached, may be avulsed.
The displacement depends on the direction of the force, the fragments being usually driven towards the interosseous space.
The tibio-fibular interosseous ligament usually resists, and an oblique fracture of the fibula 2 or 4 inches above its lower end results.
The use of special interosseous pads is to be avoided.
In cases of mal-union, especially when the bones are ankylosed to one another across the interosseous space, operation may be necessary, but it is neither easy in its performance nor always satisfactory in its results.
In other cases the four broken ends impinge upon the interosseous space, and may become united to one another, preventing the movements of pronation and supination.
In some cases the callus fuses the two bones across the interosseous space, and pronation and supination are rendered impossible.
Pain is also complained of in the middle of the dorsum across the instep, from stretching of the interosseous ligaments.
In cases in which the interosseous ligament is ruptured, and in severe cases of Dupuytren's fracture, the talus may be driven upwards between the bones of the leg.
These are made to overlap the forearm by about half an inch on each side, to avoid compressing the forearm from side to side, and so making the fractured ends encroach upon the interosseous space.
It is doubtful whether the paralysis was noted at first, but a few days later complete posterior interosseous paralysis and lowered radial sensation were remarked.
In the astragalus the central hard core extending upwards from the interosseous groove, as increasing resistance, I think accounted for the fact that comminution was more marked in this bone than in any other.
The posterior interosseous branch seemed to exhibit a similar vulnerability to slight injuries, to be referred to later under the external popliteal of the lower extremity.
The triceps and marginal muscles were much wasted, and only interosseous extension was possible in the fingers.
However, as even this has proved ineffectual, and the interosseous has proved sufficient to continue the bleeding, ligature of the brachial at once is preferable to ligature of so many branches in the fore-arm.
In dissecting the long flap from below upwards, the tissues of which it is composed must be separated close to the periosteum and interosseous membrane.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "interosseous" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
