With a tear there will be rapid swelling and weight bearing leads to a feeling of the knee giving way or “just not feel right” as described…

In 17 months I’ve managed to tear my ACL in my right leg and my meniscus in my left. When I first tore my ACL I was broken but I was determined to get through surgery and work harder, 17 months later, while playing on our National Volleyball Team, I tore my meniscus and had surgery again. Both mentally and physically I felt pain. I was devastated because I knew I wouldn’t be able to play volleyball my senior year of high school. I had a lot of people telling me that maybe it’s a “sign” that…

will shrink and break. The mechanism of formation and breakup of a capillary bridge between two spherical particles by both flow and condensation is shown in Figure 2.3. An approximate expression for the change of the radius of curvature of a liquid meniscus between a sphere and a plate, based on water condensation only, was derived by Kohonen,Maeda and Christenson [25]. This expression is generalized by Butt and Kappl [5] (2.4): dr dt Æ DdMW P0 ½RTR¤…

Imagine being in 6th grade, and having someone come to talk to your entire sixth grade student body about middle school sports. During a question and answer session I asked if it was possible to run cross country and play basketball, and in a loud voice that went across the gym, a kid said “Why ask you’re too fat to play sports” and the whole gym burst into laughter. This is how my introduction to middle school officially began. As one could imagine the pain and humiliation that went along…

the tibia superior to the soleal line siddharth et al (2014). It runs superiorly and laterally, penetrating the fibrous membrane of the knee joint by its tendon my book. The popliteus tendon (PT) passes between the fibrous membrane and the lateral meniscus (LM) toward the lateral…

brought up to the varsity team to play against Chiawana. This was a huge step to play varsity soccer as a freshman in high school. Two minutes into the game, I was down and couldn’t play the rest of the season due to tearing my left ACL and lateral meniscus. This injury was the first and last as I wished upon. I came back the next year after rehabilitation of over nine months, with determination and a heavy heart for the game. This experience guided me to letter four years as a varsity athlete…

Growing up in a predominantly affluent part of Michigan, at times it is difficult to comprehend the hardships others must endure. With consistency and structure in my life, I had gone through much of my life without great disturbance. However, in the past year, the stability I once had crumbled. One of the most salient aspects of my life was taken from me, which was torturous, and depressing. However, the challenge I faced allowed me recognize just how imperfect my seemingly faultless life was.…

The knee joint is classified as a type of synovial joint, which is one of the most common and complex joints found in the human body. The knee is a meeting point for the femur, fibula, tibia, and the patella. In order to maintain its flexibility and function, several other ligaments join the knee joint in order to keep the attaching bones in place. The knee is the joint where the femur and the tibia meet; the patella (kneecap) is made of bone and sits in front of the knee. The knee joint is a…

Iron (Fe3+) is a metal that rusts when it is exposed to air, it is also an important nutrient in the human body 1. The form of iron found in foods which is (Fe3+) is different to the type of iron that is absorbed by the body Fe2+ 2. Fe3+ is an iron mixed with oxygen, this is an insoluble form of iron 3. However, the body converts this iron into the form of ferrous which is soluble (Fe2+) 3. Iron is a vital component of not only the human body but also other living things 3. This is due to the…

Electronegativity is based upon the atoms strength within the element to attract electrons to form bonds. Now atoms like to fulfil the octet rule of having a perfect 8 outer shell causing it to be stable. Now unfortunately not all elements have a full outer shell now elements on the left side of the periodic table contain less than half of electrons the required energy to gain electrons is much higher than comparison to trying the energy to lose an electron. So the elements on the left side when…
