the pelvis. If the pelvis ring is not damaged, the fracture is not as serious (Campagne, 2014). In the event the pelvis ring is broke, a pelvic splint should be utilized. Traction should be used to stabilize the femur. The femur should be immobilized before the pelvis to make sure the femur traction does not…

There are three bones that meet to form you knee joint. There is your thighbone which is you femur, you shinbone which is your tibia, and you kneecap which is your patella. Articular cartilage covers the ends of the tibia and the fibula, also the back of the patella. Bones are connected through ligaments, our knees have four main ligaments. Two of the ligaments in our knee is the medial collateral ligament (MCL), this ligament prevents valgus (force from the outside of the knee, forcing the knee…

tibia is shown in fig. 2(a) where the menus for adjusting the simulation is shown. In knee arthroplasty, virtual saw is used to cut the bones in the knee from front to back. This method of cutting enable the virtual saw to penetrated tibia and then femur part of the knee. The tracker is an interface that is attached to the surgical instrument to track the position and attitude of the virtual tool. There were complex change produced in the three separate structures in the knee anatomy which were…

It was first popularized by Moore in the 1950’s, and has been gaining popularity ever since. (1) One of the advantages to using the posterior approach for a total hip arthroplasty is that it allows the surgeon to have decent exposure of both the femur and acetabulum during the procedure. The patient is placed in the lateral decubitus position on an orthopedic table to improve visualization and accessibility of the hipbone as well as aid in dislocating the hip bone. The skin incision can be…

They are often referred to the ‘crucial’ ligaments because it is important that the help the knee with stability. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) prevents forward movement of the tibia in relation to the femur, and controls rotational movement of the 3CHANCES WHILE HIKINGtibia under the femur. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) prevents…

Sacrum and Coccyx Structure of the Appendicular skeleton Figure 2 The Appendicular skeleton is made up of the upper and lower limbs. Clavicle and Scapula Humerus, Radius and Ulna Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges and Sesamoid Two Pelvis bones Femur, Tibia, Patella and the Fibula Tarsals and Metatarsals Bone Type Explanation Of Bone Example Of Bone Long Bones It is hard Dense They provide the strength, structure and movement for the body. They are mainly found in the upper and…

A hip fracture occurs when the UQ (upper quadrant) of a femur bone endures a break. To cause a fracture, one must fall or have a direct blow to the side of the hip. Many medical conditions such as osteoporosis, or cancer can affect the bone so much so that the bone weakens from loss of tissue making bones fragile enough to break even from standing and twisting. However, a hip dislocation occurs when the femur bone is forced out of the ball and socket joint. To dislocate a hip a fall from extreme…

the lateral femoral condyle, and distally on the fibular head. The popliteus muscle was observed on the superoposterior area of the tibia. Its fibers run up and lateral in an oblique orientation toward the lateral condyle of the femur. On the lateral condyle of the femur, the poplitues tendon inserted inferior and beneath the LCL (Figure 1). This finding concurs the data reported by Zeng et al (2011), and in contrast with the findings of LaPrade et al (2003) and Brinkman et al (2005). The PFL…

There have been Many theories on the etiology of idiopathic clubfoot including vascular deficiencies [34], environmental factors, in utero positioning [23], abnormal muscle insertions [9], and genetic factors [28, 30]. Of the multi-factorial factors associated with the origin, genetic factors appear to a role as suggested by the 33% concordance of identical twins and the fact that about 25% of cases are familial. Ponseti method (popularised by Ignacio Ponseti) of treatment of clubfoot involves…

Tehrany to provide expert insight on ACL injuries in women. The ACL is the ligament that runs diagonally in the middle of the knee. It is one of the most important ligaments in the knee joint as it prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur, and it provides rotational stability to the knee. But according to a 2010 study published in the North American Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, women who participate in jumping and pivoting sports are four to six times more prone to ACL…
