How I Scarred My Knee Short Story

When that moment came i was running through the town of Waukee, Iowa with my friends. i jumped a fence when i felt and heard that pop. It was a familiar feeling, i remembered it from the first time my ACL tered, i remembered how its the worse pain i have ever felt. i was yelling “Guys, wait up!” as i sat down on the soggy grass holding my knee, thinking “not this again”. i wondered if i would ever fully recover, if messing around was really worth it. I spent the whole night wondering.

I thought I was invincible. I tried to be the best on the team, I worked hard

I’ve have been through hardships and hard times, especially with sports. One of many injuries was when I was playing basketball during open gym. As I went up for a contested lay-up, I twisted my leg. Not knowing it was still planted, I chipped the tibia in my knee. Though it hurt, I was still was able to walk it off. My father and I went to the

I was thirteen, and I had just come home from a school softball game. My friend Dalton had invited my sister and I to come and swim at the neighborhood pond. My sister stayed home, but I got permission to go. After a while of swimming, Dalton looks at me claims that he’ll jump out of a tree near the bank if I jump out. Of course, I accepted my friend’s little dare and climbed into the tree, focusing on the seven-foot-deep drop-off off of the bank. Regrettably, I didn’t jump far enough. My right leg landed in the drop-off, but my left leg hit the clay, which caused all of my weight to shift to my left foot. I felt an immense pain in my ankle and started screaming while crawling over to the bank as Dalton ran to get my mom. After I finally made it to the emergency room, I found that I had broken my fibula at an upward slant, which caused the upper part of the bone to slam down into my ankle.I had completely blown out every ligament and tendon on the left side of my ankle. I had to have a plate and four screws implanted into my fibula along with the surgical repair of all of my ligaments and tendons. The entire ordeal left me extremely interested in the human body, and this interest was heightened when I had to get my appendix removed a few months later and again when I took Anatomy and

It all started in seventh grade. I was in p.e. And we were playing Dodgeball. This was normal because that was what we usually played. That day was different, I went to throw a ball and managed to tear my kneecap off. When I threw it, I went to turn, but my foot stayed still and my knee popped nine times and I fell to the ground. I didn’t think anything of it because my knees will randomly pop. I got back up and walked away like nothing happened because I am used to my knee popping. But I only took about five steps before it started to hurt. I must not have noticed it because of the adrenaline that was in me from the game. Mr.Hookfin noticed and helped me to the nurse's office. I limped there because I couldn’t put any pressure on it without it wincing from the pain. It all happened before 10:00a.m. and my dad didn’t get there until noon because he was in school. He got me a doctors appointment for 3:00 p.m. because it was really swollen. When we got there they were not sure why it was so bad, so they gave me painkillers and I had to go for an M.R.I. scan the next day. Later we found out that I tore my kneecap off and had to get surgery to put it back in place. I went in for surgery two days after that. The surgery itself only took a few hours, but rehab to get it to work normally again was torture. Everyday for two hours I had to go in and work on my leg. It started of simple, but once I started to get

Further, when he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. Last year, running on ice, slipped felt and snapped my tibia. Slipping on ice, is the most uncool thing that can happen. My leg broke so easily, because I just had a growth spurt. More, it happen after I jumped over a puddle, when I landed my right leg bend and snapped.

In my short 17 year old life i have tried and failed at many things. The one that i have learned the most from though is my knee injuries. I’ve played football all through out my life, but everyone knows it get serious in high school. As it gets more serious so do the injuries, i remember in elementary school you could get taken out of a game for a scrapped knee. Its far more intense in high school. The coaches make you workout before the season even starts, practice is longer, a mistake can cost you a lot more and the whole school is watching you.

As I sat there and let the doctor examine my knee and diagnosis me with a “left knee sprain”. I started to cry. I already knew the outcome that I had a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). I tried to continue to play on it until one time I was playing in a tournament, and I went up to block a girls shot and landed on my

The A.C.L is also known as the anterior cruciate ligament and is a cruciate ligament. Which is one of the four major ligaments of the human knee. The four types of ligaments are the anterior cruciate ligament (A.C.L), medial collateral ligament (M.C.L), lateral collateral ligament (L.C.L), and the posterior cruciate ligament (P.C.L). The A.C.L ligament is a very important stabilizer of the femur on the tibia and is used to stop the tibia from rotating forward during agility, jumping, and deceleration activities. An A.C.L injury is the most common sports injury. Ligaments are tough, non-stretchable fibers that hold the bones together. Damage to cruciate ligaments, which crossover the knee to give it stability. The A.C.L tear occurs from

We are investigating, whether concomitant ligamental knee injuries generally stay undetected upon admission, or develop through surgical intervention and treatment plans. For that reason, we try to correlate ligamentous integrity, range of motion and IM nail size to possible knee injuries and

The knee joint is one of many synovial joints within the human body. It is the largest joint in the body and is known as a ginglymus, or hinge, joint involving the articulation of the femur and the tibia. A hinge joint is a joint between two or more articulating bones, moving in only one plane. The movements that occur at the knee are flexion and extension. The knee joint is a modified hinge joint, therefore as well as allowing the movements of flexion and extension; the movements of internal rotation and external rotation are possible. The knee joint has six degrees of freedom, moving in all three planes: the frontal plane, the sagittal plane and the transverse plane. Internal rotation and external rotation of the knee move about the

The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The fibula is only involved to the extent that it serves as an attachment site for connective tissue. In this paper, the anatomy of the joint will be discussed.

This section will report on some types of orthopedic knee differentiating them according to their functions and characteristics.

After I felt the big snap in my elbow I somehow got up as fast as I can and started to hold my. I started to cry because I was in so much pain. I ran to coach Kristen, she didn’t know what happened because she was helping someone else. She asked me “What happened ?” but I wasn’t able to tell her because I was overwhelmed with pain. After a few minutes I calmed down and was able to tell her what happened. “I was doing a bridge back and when my arms hit the ground I felt a snap in my elbow.” I said with tears coming down my face.

The knee is very vulnerable in this pose because if the hip is restricted in the external rotation and the practitioner forces the knees - as a hinge joint -to bend to the side and basically rotate in order to compensate the stiffness of the hip, it might cause ligament strains, tendonitis which is an inflammation of the tendons, mal-tracking of the patella or even meniscus tear.
