condylar cartilage 髁突软骨
The horse was vanned off the track and x-rays showed he had a left front condylar fracture and would require surgical repair.
On one side there was the new condylar (anatomic) movement and on the other side there was the geometric (non anatomic) movement.
In addition, secondary cartilages cap the condylar processes and, depending on the species, one or both of the non-articular processes.
Condylar fractures have higher rates of malocclusion which in turn are dependent on the degree of displacement and/or dislocation.
In disc displacement without reduction the disc stays anterior to the condylar head upon opening.
This has included the development of one articular process, the condylar, flanked by two non-articular processes, the angular and coronoid, each important as muscle attachment sites.
Resection of the rectus capitus posterior major and minor muscles reveals the bony recess leading to the condylar canal, which is situated posterior and lateral to the occipital condyle.
The inferior compartment allows for rotation of the condylar head around an instantaneous axis of rotation, corresponding to the first 20mm or so of the opening of the mouth.
