Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

occurs when your foot turns inward. This action stretches or tears the ligament on the outside of the ankle. A strain is when a muscle is suddenly stretched or contracted. Sprains are sudden stretching of a ligament while a strain is sudden stretching 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…

Recent research declares knee injuries as one of the most common injuries observed in sports.(1/1) Knee injuries stand out as one of the most prevalent injuries to occur in American football.(2/3) Knee injuries often result in surgery or discontinued practice for an extended period of time, which has the potential to be harmful to an athlete’s career. In hopes of reducing the incidence of knee injury, sports medicine professionals created prophylactic knee braces. Initially made with the intent…

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Everybody has experience an injury in their life. If people where to sit down and think about all the injury’s they have had they could name a few. Some people would say their shoulder. Many people would say their hand or their foot. A lot of people can say that they injured their knee. It seems like knee injuries are more common now than ever. There are many athletes every year that suffer from a knee injury. Wither it be a professional athletes or a college athlete…

Anterior Crucial Ligaments tears, commonly known as ACL tears, are the most common and most debilitating knee injuries known to athletes. Sports today have become such a fast paced style of play some that players bodies can’t keep up with the quick movements they have to perform causing sudden tears in ligaments and muscles. The ACL tears because of these quick movements, which is a significant problem because it is one of the main stabilizing ligaments in the knee. The ACL is the most…

Chapter I The Problem and Its Scope Introduction The shoulder contains complicated groups of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae all involved in humeral and scapular kinematics (Terry & Chopp, 2000). Regular use of the arms can result in fatigue of shoulder musculature, which could lead to altered scapular kinematics during humeral elevation (Tsai, McClure, & Karduna, 2003). These changes in scapular kinematics can potentially lead to shoulder problems such as impingement syndrome,…

collateral ligament and medial meniscus was confirmed. About 2 years ago I treated a similar injury sustained by a prospect receiver, Jamie Nelson, at Ohio State, which is why I assume I was referred for this case. However, Cowl is significantly older than Nelson and I’m worried I cannot produce the same results. This is why…

The ligaments work in opposing pairs; collateral and cruciate ligaments. The medial and lateral collateral ligaments are extra-articular stabilisers, which importantly resist Valgus and Varus movement, respectively. Additionally, the medical collateral ligament is designed to resist internal and external rotation occurring during movement. Conversely, the cruciate ligaments are cross-weaved in design to create a strong base of support in…
