A herniated disk is a problem with one of the rubbery cushions or also known as a disk. A disk has a soft center and a hard covering. These are sometimes called a slipped disk or a ruptured disk. A herniated disk occurs with the inside of the disk pushes out through a tear into the hard part of the disk. It can affect the nervous around it. Which causes the pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg. In some cases some people do not have symptoms from a herniated disk. They also most likely do not need surgery to fix the problem. What causes a hereditary disk is sometimes just aging. When you age your spinal disk lose the water, which makes the spinal flexible, with less water it makes your spine less flexible. This makes you more likely to tear or rupture with just the slightest twist or strain. Most people can not tell you the exact cause of this. Sometimes this can happen because people will use their back muscles and not their legs and thigh muscles. Also twisting and turning while you are lifting.

Case Study 1 Figure two shows a thoracic vertebrae with a normal intervertebral disc and a herniated one. The normal one has the normal components of an intervertebral disc: the annulus fibrosus surrounding the nucleus pulposus and the spinal nerves safely exiting through the neural foramina. In the herniated disc it looks like the annulus fibrosus has been ruptured in its weak spot and the nucleus pulposus has escaped and compressed a spinal nerve. Several types of tissues were involved in…

especially in case of large sized defects. Previous studies suggest that primary fascial closure with mesh reinforcement improves outcomes reducing hernia recurrence rate. [1-5] To date, only few studies have compared bridged and mesh reinforced repairs with significant differences among study groups concerning defect sizes. [1, 3, 4] Indeed, the comparison of these two repair techniques in randomized controlled trials is difficult due to problems of forming comparable groups. [6] To overcome…

Each year, 50% of Americans over the age of 18 develop a musculoskeletal injury that lasts longer than 3 months. Most of these injuries can be healed naturally through physical therapy even though some people don’t know that. In some cases surgery can even make the condition worse and often hinder the patient’s mobility even more than before the surgery causing the recovery time from the accident to increase, even more surgeries as a cause of the first, or leaving them with physical impairments…

My case study is on a patient who has a hiatal hernia. There is a small opening in the diaphragm, called the hiatus. A hiatal hernia is what occurs when a portion of the stomach pushes up through this opening. It is most common in people over the age of 50, and is so common it affects about half of the population (Kowalczyk & Mace, 2009). According to Eisenberg and Johnson, this condition is “the most common abnormality detected on upper GI examinations” (2012). In most cases, a small hernia…

Umbilical Hernias occur when the umbilical cord passes through the small opening in the babies abdominal muscles. The muscles usually close after birth. If the muscles don't join together and close, the abdominal wall becomes weaker and may cause an umbilical hernia at birth or later in life. An umbilical hernia can also happen in adults, mostly in women. Most hernias close on their own by age one on there own. Hernias that are much larger need surgical repair. About 90 percents of umbilical…

Understanding the development and the surgical repair of an inguinal hernia requires understanding the embryology of testicular descent and the formation of the processus vaginalis(Brandt,2008). The processus vaginalis is a fold of the peritoneum proteruded as finger like projection, attached to the testicle that trails behind as it descends from the retroperitoneum into the scrotum(Lakhoo,2009).. Testicular descent involves 2 phases: intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal…
