Anterior cruciate ligament injury

Talipes equinovarus (club foot) is a congenital deformity; it is a relatively common occurring in approximately 1:1000 births. Developed of the foot is deformed when compared to the relationship to the leg. The Achilles tendon and posterior ankle are contracted and the foot is inverted and rotated in relationship to the leg. People with this deformity will have excessive pressure on the lateral portion of the foot, due to its abnormal positioning. Patient’s conditions • Excessive swelling…

wedge HTO (Coventry 1985) as the technique providse a relatively stable osteotomy ‘‘construct’’ that permits early weight bearing(McNamara et al. 2013). But it should be noted that the procedure is limited by complications like medial collateral ligament instability, patella infera, loss of correction, delayed union and nonunion, fracture, arthrofibrosis, bone stock loss and the risk of peroneal nerve palsy (Matthews et al. 1988; JACKSON & WAUGH 1961; Wright et al. 2005; Stoffel et al.…

injured by prolonged running, walking, or standing, especially if you don't wear shoes with the proper support for your feet. The injury causes small tears in the fascia that form scars. Since it is nearly impossible to stay off your feet for a prolonged time, once the fascia is inflamed and injured, it takes a long time to heal and you are at risk for further injury. The…

epicondyle/ supinator crest of ulna, and inserts onto the proximal portion of the radius (Starkey, et al., 2011). b. This muscle aids in the motion of forearm supination (Starkey, et al., 2011). 24. Brachialis a. The brachialis originates from the distal anterior half of the humerus, and inserts onto the coronoid process of the ulna/ulnar tuberosity (Starkey, et al.,…

quadrangular in shape and has a broad origin at the lateral surface of the ilium posterior to the linea glutea posterior, and along the dorsal surface of lower sacrum and the lateral surface of the coccyx to the external surface of the sacrotuberous ligament. There is also attachment to fascia overlying the gluteal medius muscle and between the ilium and sacrum, to fascia covering the erector spinae muscle. It covers diagonally downwards and laterally towards the femur. The upper two thirds…

Flat bone Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment, the outer one is thick and tough; the inner is thin, dense, and brittle, and hence is termed the vitreous (glass-like) table. It helps the body by protect. Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment. A sporting example is heading a football because the skull…

How to Use a Stirrup Ankle Brace A stirrup ankle brace is a device used to provide stability to an injured ankle so it can heal. It may be put on after an ankle after an ankle injury, such as an ankle strain or sprain, or after a cast around the ankle has been removed. An stirrup ankle brace can be comfortably worn inside most athletic shoes. An ankle brace is made of stiff material that fits under the arch of the foot and goes up the sides of the leg. The liner of the brace may be made of a…

Brachialis muscle was seen uniformly to be consisting of 2 heads, superficial and deep. The superficial head forming the main bulk of the muscle originated from the anteromedial and anterolateral surface of the middle third of humerus ,embracing the deltoid insertion. In addition it also had attachement to the adjoining part of the lateral intermuscular septum. Its fibers ran vertically and terminated in a thick tendon to be inserted onto the ulnar tuberosity. Fibers of…

An 10X12 IR was used to produce the image and the SID was set at 40”. The Right Phantom foot was placed in the center of the IR. The CR was aligned perpendicular to IR to medial malleoli. A 4-sided collimation was created that included outer margins of the foot and ankle. A 68kVp, a 3.2mAs and a small FS was selected. The right marker was placed in IR. PACER Patient in a lateral recumbent position, affected side down. Flex affected limb 45°. Center and align ankle joint to CR. The plantar…

Defined as an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle, ankle sprains refer to the ligaments in and around the ankle which bear the forefront of all impact from the human body. The ankle ligaments are strong and fibrous to ensure that they hold the surrounding bones in place during all levels of impact. Ankle ligaments are divided into subsections consisting of the medial and lateral ligaments, medial meaning inside of the foot, and lateral referring to the ligaments that support the outside…
