Cruciate ligament

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 hard…

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 open by stress applied to either side of the knee. Professional athletes who have major knee injuries, specifically in the NBA and NFL develop an injury in one of these 4 ligaments. An injury in one of these ligaments can end a promising star, or dominant…

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…

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…

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…

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…

procedure once they understand how safe and effective it is. Stem cell implantation is currently recommended in animals for osteoarthritic conditions (most notably hip dysplasia) and disorders involving tendons and ligaments (most commonly partial tears of the cranial cruciate ligaments). Studies are underway to assess feasibility of treating a host of other conditions including renal and liver diseases, autoimmune disorders, and chronic allergic dermatoses.…

enough force, it tears”. I had torn my anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and meniscus in the state championship game. The average full recovery time from an injury like this is about 8 months. I had college camps, for prospective athletes, to go to. I was supposed to get bigger, faster, stronger. I was supposed to be dominant next season. All these ideas came to an abrupt end when a MRI confirmed that I tore essential ligaments in my knee, an injury that has ended many…

Bottom of the fourth quarter with less than one minute left in the game. You look both left and right down the field, with shining lights above your head. “Read…Set…Hike!” Next thing you know you flat on your back and the world is spinning around you and blackout knowing the last thing you see is a helmet of the opposing team. Is the game of football to dangerous for high school, or even those in the collage? Its to my understanding that we as Americans support the football league and personally…

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 considered to be constant attachment in a study done by Wadia et al (2003). Ishigooka et al (2004) identified the PFL in all 78 knees, and it was classified as type one or type two PFL according to the number of layers. Similarly, in Zeng et al (2011) study the PFL was present in all cases and recognized as ligament or fascia in 87.7% and 12.3% of…
