Meniscus

star receiver Derrick Cowl was recently injured in a game against the Chicago Bears. After assessment by the team’s trainer and an orthopedic in Philadelphia, a tear of the right ACL and damage to the right medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus was confirmed. About 2 years ago I treated a similar injury sustained by a prospect receiver, Jamie Nelson, at Ohio State, which is why I assume I was referred for this case. However, Cowl is significantly older than Nelson and I’m worried I…

the cartilage and those that the shock absorbers. According to the findings of Scuderi and Tria in 2010, in this cartilaginous structure there is the medial meniscus and lateral meniscus. The menisci are made up of fibrous crescent shaped cartilage. The medial meniscus is attached to the tibia on the inside of the knee and the lateral meniscus is attached to the tibia on the outside of the knee. The menisci sit on top of the tibia which allows the weight bearing force to be spread across a…

body. The knee is located at the juncture of three bones, the femur, the tibia and the patella. The femur (the upper leg bone) and the tibia (the shinbone) are connected by the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. The joint is cushioned by the meniscus, a tough cartilage material, during movement. The patella (or kneecap) is a small bone, encased in tendons, that glides up and down in the groove on the top of the femur when the knee is flexed and extended. Knee can not only bend and flex,…

multiple knee conditions or injuries at once. Lionel Perales visited Manhattan Orthopedic Care because of an agonizing pain in his knees. During the initial appointment, Dr. Armin Tehrany thoroughly examined Lionel’s knees and diagnosed him with meniscus tears and chondromalacia of patella. Since his both knees were in a bad shape, Dr. Tehrany recommended proceeding with a knee surgery that will address all problems at once. Understanding how stressful and terrifying…

completed by different people, the techniques we used may be different therefore the results may be different than if it was completed by the same person. The experimenter may have misread equipment such as the meniscus of the burette. They may not have been at eye level with the meniscus, creating parallax error that may have skewed the results. Systematic errors that may have occurred are the electronic balance may have been incorrectly calibrated and the increments of the measuring cylinder…

to measure the amount of alcohol to use. The class also used the 100 ml cylinder to measure the meniscus.…

learned when you are injured people are rude and inconsiderate. I want to be different. I want to be helpful to those who are disabled or injured because everyone deserves respect and kindness. Tearing my anterior cruciate ligament, medial meniscus, and lateral meniscus has changed my life, and hopefully for the…

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM: By exploring lower limb kinetics in sports, clinicians can better understand the effects they place on the knee, ultimately manipulating the risk factors to decrease the rates of ACL tears (2, 11). 70 percent of ACL injuries occur as a result of playing sports. (5) ACL tears are usually season ending injuries that require surgery. Because they require surgery, the medical costs are high, averaging around 20,000-50,000 dollars (1, 5, 12,). The rate of return to…

the entire knee. It can also be very difficult to walk or move with a torn ACL. The ACL is connected to the femur and the tibia, in normal ACL tears cases it can take up to 6-9 months to recover from the injury. The next structure injured is the meniscus. In about 80% of…
