Medial collateral ligament

glenohumeral ligament travels laterally from the upper part of the glenoid labrum and the base of the coracoid process to the upper part of the humerus between the upper part of the lesser tuberosity and the anatomical neck. The superior glenohumeral ligament contributes very little to static stability of the glenohumeral joint. However, this ligament helps to keep the humeral head suspended. The middle glenohumeral ligament has a wide attachment extending from the superior glenohumeral…

underpronation. Oversupination is not as common as overpronation, but it still can cause injury to your foot and ankle. Your foot doesn't absorb shock as well since it doesn't roll to the inside as much. The over rotation of your foot affects the ligaments and tendons all the way up to your knee and it strains your lower leg. You can tell you have this condition if your shoes wear down on the outside of the heel. However, to fully understand your gait, you should have it evaluated by a…

Adductor Muscle Strain An adductor muscle strain, also called a groin strain or pull, is an injury to the muscles or tendon on the upper inner part of the thigh. These muscles are called the adductor muscles or groin muscles. They are responsible for moving the leg across the body. A muscle strain occurs when a muscle is overstretched and some muscle fibers are torn. An adductor muscle strain can range from mild to severe depending on how many muscle fibers are affected and whether the muscle…

Flat bone Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment, the outer one is thick and tough; the inner is thin, dense, and brittle, and hence is termed the vitreous (glass-like) table. It helps the body by protect. Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment. A sporting example is heading a football because the skull…

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are located in the knee joint. Those ligaments are being connect the thigh bone which is also known as (femur) and the big bone of the decrease leg (tibia) on the knee joint. The ACL and PCL stabilizes the knee against the front-to-lower back or again-to-front forces with an "X" shape in the knee that . ("ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Injuries Guide: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options"…

tendon to be inserted onto the ulnar tuberosity. Fibers of the deep head could be seen arising from the anterormedial and anterorlateral suaface of the distal third of the humerus. In addition fibers were seen to be attached to the medial and lateral intermuscular septum. Fibers of the deep…

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…

In the case of the player in the video, surgery would be the option. When surgery takes place, an incision is made to open a longitudinal area that is medial to the tendon. The direction of this incision allows skin to heal more efficiently and reduce risk of scarring to the underlying tendon repair. (Wisconsin 2015) When the incision is made and the doctor is able to see and identify the location of the…

Copra Pose: Extension of the Lumbar Spine: Also seen in Bridge Pose and Wheel Pose, Bow Pose, Pigeon Pose and Camel Pose. The degree of back bend will depend on the amount of space between each vertebra of the lumbar spine. The greater the space the greater the degree of back bend. Also the shape of the vertebra also plays a factor as some of the spinous process’ can be bent in angles that either restrict the angle of lumbar curve or increase it. There are other skeletal differences…
