Interosseouskalvo

Interosseouskalvo refers to the interosseous membrane, a broad sheet of fibrous connective tissue that separates bones in various parts of the body. The most prominent interosseous membrane is found between the radius and ulna in the forearm, and between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg.

These membranes serve several crucial functions. They provide a strong, flexible union between the bones, contributing to the stability of the limb. This union also allows for the attachment of muscles, facilitating their leverage and movement. Furthermore, the interosseous membrane acts as a barrier, separating muscle compartments and influencing the spread of infection. In some cases, it can also help distribute forces across the bones. The arrangement of fibers within the membrane is typically oblique, which is efficient in transmitting forces from one bone to the other. Injuries to the interosseous membrane, such as those sustained in fractures, can significantly impact limb function and stability.
