athlete’s career because it is an aggravating injury. Many athletes continue to have patellar tendon pain even “ten years after…

for an ACL repair with hamstring autograft because of the injury sustained to her ACL ligament. Doctor Rains acknowledged that two-thirds on the patella tendon can be used and has better results but chose to do a hamstring autograft. He based the decision on the age of the patient. Most studies done on patella tendon graft vs hamstring tendon grafts are done on an older population. Doctor Rains said younger patients have a better ability to heal and are less likely to reject the graft. There…

knee. The purpose of this is to limit lateral movement along the knee (Scuderi & Tria, 2010). Stability is the most important function of the knee. To add to knee stability are the tendons. Tendons are elastic tissues that connect muscles to bones. They are what stabilize the knee and there are two major tendons that run through the knee.…

over ACL reconstruction techniques. On the one hand, doctors argue that the patellar tendon autograft is the best technique. On the other hand, they argue that the hamstring autograft is the best technique. I believe that the best technique depends on the patient and their activity levels. People who compete in sports at a higher level than high school or college for four years would benefit more from a patellar tendon graft. People who do not participate competitively in sports for a long…

The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the shoulder. The four muscles of the rotator cuff are over half of the seven scapulohumeral muscles. The four muscles are the supraspinatus muscle, the infraspinatus muscle, teres minor muscle, and the subscapularis muscle. The…

a graft must be formed by harvesting two tendons, in order to make four strands. The most common tendons used for this procedure are patellar and hamstring tendons. In the video, the doctors chose to use hamstring tendons. These tendons and their strands will be used to form a new ACL. Dr. Jones and Dr. Adamcyzk showed that it is important to stretch these tendons, so they aren’t too tight when they are put in. In order for the doctors to connect the tendon to bone, they must use a form of…

of active children, so what do you need to know about this issue? What Is Achilles Tendonitis? If you could see inside your child's foot, you would see a band that runs between the heel bone and the calf muscle. This is called the achilles tendon. The tendon moves around a lot while your child is playing soccer, and the impact of running around on hard ground can cause it to become…

In our lives we can chose what happens in them. The sports gene is about Donald Thomas that was born with an Achilles tendon and about Stephon Holm who wasn’t born with an achilleas tendon. They compete against each other in high jumping. Thomas doesn't even have to train because of his achilleas tendon which allows him to jump higher than Stephon who does train. Into the wild is about Chris McCandless who sells all his stuff, donates all his money, and gives up his education at Emory University…

lateral epicondylitis is the term that describes the inflammation or the irritation to the tendon of lateral epicondyle of the humerus. It is normally occurred on the tendons that connect the extensor muscle of the wrist and fingers. Often, the inflammations happen to be on the attachment site of the tendon on lateral epicondyle. Also it is the common site of injuries, the inflammation could be everywhere on the tendon of lateral epicondyle. The cause to the inflammation is due to the overuse…

Also referred to as tendinitis, tendonitis refers to the irritation or inflammation of a tendon. Tendons are e thick cords that connect bones to muscles in the body. Causes of Tendonitis Tendonitis mostly results from repetitive minor impact on an area or sudden injury. Some of the activities known to cause tendonitis include raking, gardening, cleaning house, carpentry, throwing and pitching, skiing, golfing, playing tennis, painting, scrubbing, and shoveling among others. The wrong posture…
