[quote]‪Despite a successful ACL repair surgery and rehabilitation, some patients with ACL-repaired knees continue to experience so-called 'pivot shift', or episodes where the knee 'gives way' during activity. For the last four years, orthopedic surgeons Dr Steven Claes and Professor Dr Johan Bellemans have been conducting research into serious ACL injuries in an effort to find out why. Their starting point: an 1879 article by a French surgeon that postulated the existence of an additional ligament located on the anterior of the human knee.
That postulation turned out to be correct: the Belgian doctors are the first to identify the previously unknown ligament after a broad cadaver study using macroscopic dissection techniques. Their research shows that the ligament, which was given the name anterolateral ligament (ALL), is present in 97 per cent of all human knees. Subsequent research shows that pivot shift, the giving way of the knee in patients with an ACL tear, is caused by an injury in the ALL ligament.
Some of the conclusions were recently published in the Journal of Anatomy. The Anatomical Society praised the research as "very refreshing" and commended the researchers for reminding the medical world that, despite the emergence of advanced technology, our knowledge of the basic anatomy of the human body is not yet exhaustive.[/quote]

Wow, guess there's still lots to learn about the human body.
I didn't need to see that.
Nice, time to edit those textbooks!

and sell the new copies for hundreds of dollars and completely invalidate the old ones!
That image makes my knee quiver..
Is that picture a human knee? Looks like something from a chicken.
That knee looks delicious
Wait how do you miss something like that for so long? Surely SOMEONE would have noticed during the thousands upon thousands of knee surgeries to have happened for the last few decades.

Should've said you didn't kneed to know that
Gerdy's Tubercle is the best name for a body party ever
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Basic sciences are often dismissed as old hat in this profession, everybody wants to become a neurosurgeon or a trauma head.
And most of these nitwits can't tell a tibia from a fibula, or god forbid, they can mistake hands for feet.
edit: thanks for the boxes. This shit really does happen in med school these days. Up to you if you want to believe it or not, but I don't give a fuck.
My roommate is taking Human Anatomy, and they just this week he was studying knee structure. Somewhat ironic.
Yeah can we link that, I was just eating. Was.
lmao I was eating a piece of chicken when I entered this thread
makes it more delicious
The bad shopping makes it all the worse to look at.
Love those pins stuck in there. :v:

What a coincidence, 9 hours ago I rolled off my bed while napping and smacked my knee full force on a hardwood floor.
It still hurts.

Yeah seriously:
"Ok guys knee surgery let's start."
"Alright let's just move this ligament to the side here, pull this over and... what the hell is this? Ah fuck it just put it to the side too."

What a coincidence, last year my kneecap dislocated itself about 70 degrees out of place midstep.
It [I]still[/I] hurts. I fucking hate knees.
Why is that picture making me hungry?
ARGH FUCK!
Tortora's principles of anatomy and physiology are FUCKING EXPENSIVE.

If you're ever in a dissection room, the first thing you'll want to do when you get out is go and demolish a meal.
That place leaves you really hungry for some reason, I think it's the formalin.

The human body does that to some people

only make one edit, however, make ANOTHER edit the next year as well but the only thing you change are the images and the format to make it look more like windows 8! that way people think it's more sciencey
