On her right knee, she had a lateral release and patellar realignment. She…

When comparing the human skeleton and the avian skeleton, there are many differences and similarities between the two. These differences and similarities are demonstrated very prominently in the shoulder girdle and the pelvic girdle. For example, in humans, the clavicle and the sternum articulate directly with each other, while in the avian skeleton, they do not. The clavicles in the human skeleton act as struts for the shoulder and allow the arm to move with the maximum range of movement by…

Quadriceps Tendon Tear or Disruption With Rehab A quadriceps tendon tear or disruption is a partial or complete tear of the tendon between the quadriceps muscles and the kneecap (patella). Tendons connect muscles to bone. The quadriceps muscles are located on the front of the thigh and are primarily used in straightening the knee. With a partial tear, the tendon is overstretched, and some of the fibers are frayed. With a complete tear, the quadriceps muscle is detached from the kneecap. This is…

At Yale Medicine, we offer a minimally invasive aspect to reconstructing the ACL. The graft certainly needs to be harvested, so we take that hamstring or the patella tendon, and that is done arthroscopically to weave that tendon back into the knee. Interviewer: Is there anything we can say about the Yale Medicine approach that’s exciting? 0:12:36.3 Karen: At Yale Medicine, we do offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating and preventing ACL injury. As surgeons, we can reconstruct the ACL, but…

Humans encounter a variety climate conditions with fluctuating temperatures, which stresses the significance of thermoregulation for human existence. The human body is able to withstand different environmental conditions by making adjustments to maintain a constant core temperature via autonomic system (Vella, C.A and Kravitz, L. 2004). The core temperature requires a negative feedback mechanism that maintains the temperature from straying outside particular limits (Marieb, E.N, 2000). The…

Osteoporosis in Ballerinas No one can deny the fact that ballerinas put an extraordinary amount of stress on their bodies. Saddly, also no one can deny the persistent presence of eating disorders amongst ballerinas. However, because ballerinas train from such a young age these stressors have been in their lives for such a long time. Yet what bothers me is that the news rarely addresses the impact these long term stressors have on their minds and bodies. I am appalled that dancers are not…

One of his students who played football tore his patella tendon during a game. The athlete had surgery to fix the tendon and his…

recovery process can be long and challenging. The ACL, also known as the anterior cruciate ligament, crosses the PCL, posterior cruciate ligament, to form an “X”. It connects the tibia and femur, kind of like a long band, and it also hides behind the patella. The ACL keeps the tibia from moving too far forward and also controls the knee when rotating. Anyone can be at risk of an ACL injury, there are many different signs of the injury, there are different types of grafts for the surgery process,…
