Ligament Meniscotemporal Anterior

The meniscal-temporal ligament is a joint that connects the anterior surface of the premaxilla and the human temporal bone. This ligament also has several anatomical names: * meniscal-temporal * interparietal * occipital hygroma ***Where is it located*** The ligament is located in the neck, between the occipital bone and the lateral part of the intermaxillary process of the temporal bone. It is located on top of the back of the head, below the parietal sinus.

The ligament performs the following functions: * provides a strong attachment of the temple to the skull; * connects the anterior upper part of the temporal bone with the zygomatic bone; * Helps create a strong ligament between the front of the neck and the head. ***Anatomy*** On one side, the ligament “descends” from the zygomaticotemporal suture. This suture includes a section of the arcuate sinus - the main process of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. On the other side of the suture above the temporal exit of the sinus, the meniscus temporal ascends - anterior and posterior. Along the outer surface it fuses with the side wall of the sinus, and along the inner surface there is a fibrous groove of the mandibular canal (along the outer surface of the groove there is a gap connecting both arches of the sinus), as well as a narrow opening of the transition (its contents are formed by venous vessels and nerves). Next, the ligament is pressed with a wide tooth into the cruciform hole in the back of the temporal fossa. If for some reason the ligament is damaged,

We can rightfully say that the main area of ​​application of intramedullary blocking is surgery for a fracture of the femoral neck, which in the vast majority of cases occurs in combination with a fracture of the femoral shaft. Interestingly, the technique was initially developed for the treatment of bone fractures, but later it turned out that it is equally effective in the treatment of damage to articular cartilage. Now the technique is being used
