time to heal that can range from 4 weeks for a simple greenstick to many months for surgical repairs. After the bone has healed, physical therapy will be next in line to rebuild the muscle mass lost during the time of immobilization and stretching tendons and ligaments to regain full range of…

connective tissue. Dense collagenous connective tissue is found in tendons, ligaments, dermis, and many capsules that surround our organs. The extracellular matrix is mostly made up of collagen fibers and depending on the direction these fibers are running the matrix can be categorized as dense regular or dense irregular. In dense regular collagenous connective tissue the collagen fibers run in the same parallel direction. Which helps tendons to attach muscle to the bone and ligaments to…

of freedom allowing flexion to 135 degree, pronation, and supination. These joints mainly rely on ligaments for most of their stability, by the medial and lateral collateral ligaments.(2) Additional stability is presumed by the muscle tendons. The forearm tendons also known as extensors attaching the muscle to bones predominantly involved in this condition include the extensor carpi radialis brevis where it originates at the lateral epicondyle.(7) The extensor carpi radialis brevis s is the…
