(20) The zygomatic process of the temporal bone forming the articulating surface of the glenoid fossa was resected in 25 young New Zealand rabbits in order to investigate the effect of function on the growth of the condylar cartilage.
Condyle
Definition:
(n.) A bony prominence; particularly, an eminence at the end of a bone bearing a rounded articular surface; -- sometimes applied also to a concave articular surface.
Example Sentences:

(4) A case is described of acquired unilateral condylar hypoplasia, in which the right condyle seemed to have been fractured at an early age.
(5) A comparative cephalometric and tomographic study prior to the treatment and after completion of the treatment revealed the following results: an improvement in the occlusal relationships due to both skeletal (an anterior mandibular displacement and an increase in the mandibular length) and dentoalveolar changes; it was possible to produce a growth stimulation of the mandibular condyle associated with a translation of the glenoid fossa by using an elastic activator; there was a direct correlation between the effects of the treatment and the age period of the patients (mixed dentition).
(6) We have studied the expression of genes that typify osteogenic differentiation in mandibular condyles during in vitro cultivation.
(7) During flexion the lateral femoral condyle displays near extension pure rolling, near flexion pure gliding, on the medial side this ratio is vice versa.
(8) It is of mechanical or mixed type, accompanied by local, pseudo-inflammatory signs being either apparent or discrete, very elective and very sharp pain upon palpation of a very limited area of a condyle or a tibial plate, with hyperfixation located through scintigraphy with technetium 99m polyphosphates, and regressing either spontaneously, or more quickly under treatment, of which thyrocalcitone is the essential part, without undergoing a phase of intense loco-regional demineralization.
