A Colles fracture is a type of broken wrist. It means your radius bone is broken or cracked. The radius is the bone of your forearm on your thumb’s side. The forearm is the part of your arm between the elbow and your wrist. Your forearm is made up of two bones called the radius and the ulna. Often when the radius is broken, the ulna may also be broken. A cast or splint is used to protect and keep your injured bone from moving as it heals. CAUSES • A direct blow to the wrist. • Falling on…

antagonism. Antagonism works when one muscle, such as the extensor carpi radialis contracts, and the flexor carpi radialis relaxes, allowing the hand to extend. These muscles are attached to each other by ligaments. The muscles are then attached to the bones, and thus the skeletal system, by tendons (Farabee 2001) (Allen and Harper 2013). All of the muscles have both origin and insertion points to enable them to work together and perform their jobs correctly. The muscles are attached to the…

muscles that must work together to achieve this. The muscles the rotator cuff consists of is the supraspinatus muscle, infrapinatus muscle, teres minor muscle and subscapularis muscle. These muscles work together to push down on the head of the humerus bone as your deltoid muscle strains, wraps and pulls in the opposite direction. The rotator cuff tendons provide stability to the…

recovering from the injury would be home remedies like PRICE and sport massages. Despite the fact that Golfer’s elbow isn’t a serious injury, if simple treatments are not effective, steroid injection may be considered or a simple surgery to repair bone fragments that have been separated from the elbow. To prevent Golfer’s elbow, many coaches have their players: strengthen their forearms with light weights or squeezing a tennis ball, streching before the activity, fixing bad form, lift the right…

Rickets is an extremely rare skeletal disease that softens and weakens the bones in children. When diagnosing rickets, the doctors usually see a delay in growth, bowing of the legs, weakness, and pain in the spine, pelvis and leg regions. Rickets develops when calcium cannot be absorbed so the body has to get the calcium from the bones which causes the bones to not mineralize. Rickets doesn’t discriminate; it affects children of all different races and genders. Rickets did not only affect the…

pinched nerve. When you have this type of pain, you may also have weakness, numbness, or tingling in the area of the body supplied by the nerve. The pain may feel sharp and burning. Spinal nerves leave the spinal cord through openings between the 24 bones (vertebrae) that make up the spine. Radicular pain is often caused by a vertebra or one of the round cushions between vertebrae (intervertebral disks) pushing on a…

MEDICAL TERMINOLOGICAL 1. BLADDER CALCULUS – Bladder Calculus is also known as bladder stone and are caused due to building up of minerals in the body. 2. DIFFICULTY IN MICTURITION – Difficulty in micturition is known as difficulty in the discharge of the urine from the bladder. 3. TURD – Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate is a surgery used to treat urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate. 4. BNR – Bladder Neck Reconstruction 5. LSCS – Lower Segment Caesarean section is also called…

It is possible to dislocate the bones within the midfoot joint complex (aka Lisfranc joint) of the foot: This joint complex consists of the ligaments and bones that connect the forefoot to the midfoot. Lisfranc injuries include strains and tears to the ligament itself in addition to bone dislocations and fractures. The Role of the Midfoot As an individual walks, the midfoot is responsible for transferring the forces that the calf muscles generate to the front of the foot. Furthermore, the…

essential to human body and naturally it is found in bone and it is the fourth cation in human body. Magnesium is a lightweight metal with a density of 1.74 g/cm3. The fracture toughness of magnesium are greater than the ceramic materials such as hydroxyapatite. Elastic modulus and compressive yield strength of magnesium are similarly to human bone. The disadvantages of magnesium is it has low corrosion resistance and stimulatory effects on the growth of bone tissues (Mark P.Staiger et al.,…

Osteoporosis, which is one of the most common bone disorders has many risk factors. A risk factor is any factor that boosts the possibility of developing a disease. Osteoporosis can be caused as a result of many factors such as lifestyles, hormonal imbalances, aging, and genes. These four risk factors are the most potent risk factors that may contribute to the development of osteoporosis. Risk factors are divided into two types modifiable and fixed. Modifiable risk factors are the factors which…
