(n.) A cavity cut into a piece of timber, or other material, to receive something (as the end of another piece) made to fit it, and called a tenon.
(v. t.) To cut or make a mortisein.
(v. t.) To join or fasten by a tenon and mortise; as, to mortise a beam into a post, or a joist into a girder.
Example Sentences:
(1) In this study, the authors independently measured the distances between the talus and tibia at eight predetermined sites on the lateral and mortise views.
(2) Ankle mortise reconstitution and clubfoot correction by surgery have been the basis of treatment.
(3) The width of the tibiofibular "clear space" on both anterior-posterior and mortise views appeared to be the most reliable parameter for detecting early syndesmotic widening.
(4) PLIF is technically demanding; however, it establishes a mortise-graft interbody fusion to stabilize and restore the spinal architecture.
(5) The surgical technique involves creation of a tenon and mortise which not only preserves the insertions of both the labiomental muscles and at least some of the suprahyoid muscles but also improves the stability of transosseous fixation.
(6) The majority of cleft profiles in the Blue areas were of the simple 'overlap' type, whereas the commonest in the White areas were the 'mortise' type.
(7) Specialized surgical instruments used for the operation included mortising chisels with cannulated reamers, right-angled curettes, and depth-limited impactors.
(8) In two cases of fracture of the medial mortise corner, a valgus deformity with hypertrophy of the medial malleolus occurred.
(9) Fractures of the adult ankle with disruption of the tibiofibular syndesmosis require adequate stabilization of the ankle mortise to ensure satisfactory healing of the syndesmotic ligaments.
(10) Widening of the ankle mortise following fracture can be a subtle diagnosis requiring special radiographs to fully appreciate the extent of shortening and rotation of the fibula.
(11) The alignment of the knee relative to the mechanical axis of the leg (center of the femoral head to the midpoint of the ankle mortise) was determined by a standing three-foot roentgenogram.
(12) Radiographic and stereophotogrammetric analyses at 3 months showed no redislocation and only small movements in the ankle mortise.
(13) The deltoid ligament has crucial effects on the stability of the ankle mortise.
(14) It was found that when this ligament was divided along with division of the fibula, either above or below the syndesmosis, there was a degree of external rotation of the talus within the ankle mortise.
(15) The greatest movements were observed during plantar to dorsiflexion with an average widening of the ankle mortise of 1.0 mm and an average dorsal translation of the fibula of 0.9 mm.
(16) A review of the literature reveals an important dynamic function for the fibula in maintaining ankle mortise stability during weight bearing.
(17) Based on a 95% confidence interval, measurements obtained for the intact specimens would support the following criteria as consistent with a normal tibiofibular relationship: (1) a tibiofibular "clear space" on the anterior-posterior and mortise views of less than approximately 6 mm; (2) tibiofibular overlap on the anterior-posterior view of greater than approximately 6 mm or 42% of fibular width; (3) tibiofibular overlap on the mortise view of greater than approximately 1 mm.
(18) Surgical correction was based upon the derotation and dorsiflexion of the talus in the ankle mortise.
