osteoarthritis is caused by a physical or mechanical injury to a joint commonly from a car or motorcycle accident, a sports injury, or another physical trauma. The symptoms of post-traumatic osteoarthritis include joint pain, swelling, stiffens, instability, bone spurs, joint deformity and difficulty walking (Weatherall, Mroczek, McLaurin, Ding & Teiwani, 2013). The osteoarthritis causes the patient to have decreased ability to stress the joint which occurs in walking, climbing stairs or…

consisting of two hundred and six bones, works to provide support, protection, and movement. Many can argue that the skeletal system is the most important system due to it’s complex framework of long bones, short bones, flat bones, etc… but sometimes, the skeletal system may not be able to perform to its fullest potential. A simple bone disorder can cause a large amount of chaos externally, as well as internally. Fibrous dysplasia, for instance, can weaken bones and eventually cause a fracture.…

Flat bones = blue (There are flat bones in the skull and the pelvis. The function of flat bones is to protect internal organs such as the brain, heart, and pelvic organs. Flat bones are somewhat flattened, and can provide protection, like a shield; flat bones can also provide large areas of attachment for muscles.) [3] Long bones = red (The long bones, longer than they are wide, include the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as relatively small bones in the fingers. Long bones…

likely create much more significant damage in the long run. Contusions Contusions occur when there is strong clash against another player's knee or elbow. As a result damage occurs to the blood vessels that are within the muscles and in the underlying bone. This damage can vary depending on depth of the contact. If you find you have had a contusion, it is crucial you apply the RICE guidelines immediately (rest, ice, compression, elevation). Left alone a contusion can develop into a myositis…

(Cunningham, 2012). The anterior dislocation, also known as the “subcoracoid dislocation” is when the humeral head (shoulder head) lies anterior and medial to the glenoid cavity (the fossa the humeral head articulates with). With this movement of the bone it causes pain, instability and restricts the joint. Static and dynamic forces prevent this joint from relocating (Cunningham, 2012). Glenohumeral dislocations can be dealt with by manipulating the certain joints into a specific manner which…

feeling horizontal in the arms, imagine a water balance placed between the left and right elbows. 4. Visualize the rectus series of muscles Think of both sides of the rectus abdominis having equal length, from the right pubic bones to the right ribs, from the left pubic bones to the left ribs. Imagine the median sagittal plane transversing this muscle. This image will help center the spine for better turns. 5. Feel the equal length and rhythm of both sides of the neck as you turn. 6. When you…

all go hand in hand. A joint is defined by two or more bones that meet. However, with the use of fibrous connective tissue, ligaments allow the joints to be held together. Ligaments are what prevent us from moving in an undesirable plane, another purpose they serve is that they limit the range or extent of normal movement (Wallace 2013). Unlike ligaments where the bone might be attached to another, tendons are fibrous tissue connecting the bones to the surrounding muscle. With this in mind,…

Your joints allow your skeleton to move. Your shoulders, elbows, hips and knees are places where your bones meet. Joint pain may be caused by many conditions and mainly consists of soreness, aches and discomfort in the area where the bones join. Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain as is injury or illness. There are two main forms of arthritis, which are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The American College of Rheumatology considers osteoarthritis more common in…

The normal structure of a normal person will have a healthy joint and healthy bone structure. Bone is a structure that give supports to human body, while joint is the part of human body that helps in movement and they works well to provide locomotion. The changes in the normal structure occurs when the white blood cell that act as a body immune system attacks the joint tissues, which causes the joint tissues to suffer inflammation or also known as synovitis. Synovitis is the condition where…

52-54), or other idiopathic etiologies contribute to total loss of the talus (40, 43, 61-64). Furthermore, collapse of the talar body as a complication of total ankle arthroplasty (51), talectomy in infection and septic talus necrosis (60) or severe bone defects due to tumor resection (59) may result in the need…
