What's the difference between avicular and navicular?
Avicular
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a bird or to birds.
Example Sentences:
(1) Procedures were developed for 'self-immobilisation' of Solanum aviculare cells to eliminate the need for artificial immobilisation supports.
(2) A method for the determination of avicularin in Polygonum aviculare L. is described.
Navicular
Definition:
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or resembling, a boat or ship.
(a.) Shaped like a boat; cymbiform; scaphoid; as, the navicular glumes of most grasses; the navicular bone.
(n.) The navicular bone.
Example Sentences:
(1) Operative treatment was used 22 times (5 sesamoid fractures, 5 midtibial fractures, 5 metatarsal V base fractures, 3 tarsal navicular fractures, 3 olecranon fractures, and 1 proximal tibial shaft fracture).
(2) These external rotational deformities are due to two unrecognized and untreated combined deformities within the hindfoot and mid-foot: hindfoot varus and talo-navicular subluxation.
(3) Although a diagnosis of navicular disease was sometimes made when only soft tissue-phase or only bone-phase scintigraphy revealed lesions, results obtained during the 2 phases generally were similar.
(4) : Congenital deformity of the foot with tarsi-transversa dislocation or subluxation involving mainly the talo-navicular joint.
(5) The source of a previously described radiolucent crescent in the flexor cortex of the distal sesamoid (navicular) bone on the palmaro45 degrees proximal-palmarodistal oblique (Pa45 degrees Pr-PaDio) clinical radiographic projection was investigated in 48 forelimb navicular bones from 24 Thoroughbreds by use of high-detail radiography and x-ray computed tomography (CT).
(6) Ninety patients were enrolled; 54 fractures of the navicular were evident on initial four-view radiography.
(7) The origin and course of the collateral sesamoidean (suspensory navicular) ligament of the horse and ass and its attachment to the distal sesamoid bone were studied by means of dissection.
(8) Other applications, the discussion of which is beyond the scope of this article, include evaluation of the pastern for injuries to the SDF, DDF, and oblique sesamoidean ligament, and evaluation of the navicular bursae.
(9) The navicular bone, navicular bursa and their associated structures were collected from 20 horses ranging in age from 80 days gestation to 2 years post-gestation.
(10) Of 14 patients with navicular tuberosity avulsion, seven had damage to the anterior process of the calcaneum at the calcaneocuboid joint--possibly the result of an occult subluxation of the midtarsal joint.
(11) Two cases of isolated fracture and dorsal dislocation of the tarsal navicular are reported.
(12) Carpal navicular fracture is the most common wrist bone fracture.
(13) Surgical treatment consists of excision of the accessory navicular with its synchondrosis, without transposition of the posterior tibial tendon.
(14) The extent of decrease of skeletal loading was thirty per cent of body weight when the walking heel was placed slightly distal to the navicular bone.
(15) Occlusion of the R. navicularis and its branching arteries creates changes, arteriographically and histologically, which resemble those of navicular disease.
(16) No correlation was found between radiological evidence of the extent of navicular disease and severity of lameness or response to treatment.
(17) Common areas of pedal fracture including the metatarsal bones and, less frequently, the navicular, calcaneus, and other rearfoot entities are reviewed.
(18) Talo-navicular movements were constantly preserved, as well as that of the sub-talar joint, except in six cases where it was slightly diminished.
(19) A radiolucent stripe, cast by a thin collection of fat paralleling the lateral surface of the navicular bone, was seen in 96 percent of 400 normal wrists examined because of trauma.
(20) 258 fresh and old navicular fractures and pseudarthroses are analysed with regard to conservative and operative treatment.
