Anterior cruciate ligament

can be fun at sometime but it is still dangerous.This sport is dangerous because you can get a bad head injury called a concussion. Basketball injuries are not better basketball injuries are mainly in your leg like your Anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)(“Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia”), Baseball injuries are not the greatest injury a baseball can be thrown at 87 mile per hour or 90(MPH) to your face baseball injuries are terrible Doctors are trying…

Background: 23 year-old male Division I football athlete presented with gross swelling to the left knee. He was in extreme pain and reported to the Athletic Trainer that he believed that his leg was broken; no obvious deformity was present. Subject had never sustained a traumatic injury and had no previous or current medical conditions. Subject was removed from the field and further evaluated by the Athletic Trainer. Mechanism of injury was unknown and due to the severity of pain the subject was…

1/13/2015. Patient is a 54-year-old male trimmer who sustained multiple injuries when he fell from a tree. MRI of the left knee dated 6/5/15 revealed complete tear of the mid fibers of the posterior cruciate ligament which appears chronic in nature. There is complete tear of the proximal lateral collateral ligament which also appears chronic in nature. There is complete tear of the popliteus tendon. There is oblique tear of the body and posterior horn of the lateral meniscus extending to the…

regard to the primary attachment on the lateral femoral condyle, LaPrade et al (2003) reported that the PT always attaches anterior to the LCL and at the anterior end of the popliteal sulcus. Dissimilarly, Brinkman et al (2005) and Zeng (2011) found the PT femoral attachment may locate dorsally, beneath or ventrally to the LCL (Table 1). The existence of the poplitofibular ligament (PFL), which attaches the PT to the head of fibula, is variable. The PFL was found in all knee specimens and…

Phase 4 – The contact phase (critical phase) (Figure 1d) is when the subject is making contact with the ball and accelerating the kicking leg into contact and into the follow through while maintaining balance on the opposite foot as without this the contact actions will change. Making contact under the ball to create height on the ball as well as power is also very important part of the defensive clearance movement. At this stage of the contact phase the standing leg will be secured in…

DOI: 4/1/2016. Patient is a 32-year-old female receiving clerk who sustained injury to her left knee resulting to a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament. Per OMNI entry, he underwent surgery on 07/13/16. Per the PT daily note dated 10/20/16, IW has attended 5 sessions for the knee. Based on the progress report dated 11/11/16 by Dr. Woodson,, the patient reports that her pain is dull and throbbing in nature. She rates the level of her pain as…

Your ACL is critically important because it prevents the tibia from being pushed too far anterior relative to the femur. The main causes of ACL tears are twisting, and or bending of the knee. It is rare to see someone injure their PCL, but when they do it is a result of extreme force on to the ligament itself (front squats). The Medial collateral ligament (MCL) and Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) prevent the femur from moving side to side. They both also protect the knee from being bent…

Treatment options of a knee ligament injury can depend on a number of things including which ligament is injured, the severety of the injury, and how physically active the person is. The diagram above shows the bones and ligaments that make up the synovial hinge joint, commonly known as the knee. The four bones that make up the knee joint are the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone), the fibula (lateral shin bone), and the patella (knee cap). Connective tissue known as articulating…

joint) are usually a group of cube-shaped bones that can either move up and down, left and right, or diagonally. They can be found in the foot, hand, and ankle. -Hinge joints (synovial joints) are made of bone, cartilage, synovium, muscle, and ligaments. They can move on one axis to flex or extend. Some examples of hinge joints are the elbow joint and the knee joint. -The hip joint is a ball and socket joint that consists of the hip bone (os coxa) and femur. It supports our body weight, the…

common beliefs as to why this happens is because women possess a different bone structure than men. Women almost always have a wider hip and pelvic structure than men; because of this, women experience increased stress on their knee compartments, ligaments, and muscles (Schmidt). Specifically, the angle at which the femur connects to the knee is wider than males, so women have pressure surrounding their ACL (Musgrave). Also, women have a tendency to have “valgus knees,” which means that women…
