What can be references for proximal tibial width in a tibial plateau fracture reduction? : A study of measurements on 3D CT scan of 84 healthy knees Background Surgical outcomes after tibial plateau fracture treatment are strongly associated with functional alignment, knee range of motion and stability (1, 2). The goals of tibial plateau treatment includes restore anatomic articular stepping, sagittal alignment, coronal alignment and condylar width. Splitting of lateral plateau in split-depression

The purpose of the clinical commentary is to provide a good understanding on how anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is loaded during weight bearing and non-weight bearing exercises. Thus this article compared the most commonly utilized weight and non-weight bearing exercises in ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. Both weight bearing and non-weight bearing showed increased load on ACL between ten to 30 degree of knee flexion. The load on ACL decreases beyond 50 degree of knee flexion. However, the load

hyperextension of the knee. It provides stability to the joint and allows for a dynamic motion. It also helps the bending of the knee sideways toward the body. Nonsurgical treatment when the joint is stable. Rehabilitation with modified activity achieves functional stability to the knee and can help bring the knee back to the pre-injury state. Strengthen the muscles around the joint and flexibility will help as you move to a healthy joint. Surgical Treatment to the torn ACL is generally replaced

Introduction Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is a condition that causes a finger to get stuck in a bent position. Each finger has a tough, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone (tendon) and is surrounded by a tunnel of tissue (tendon sheath). To move your finger, your tendon needs to slide freely through the sheath. Trigger finger happens when the tendon or sheath thicken, making it difficult to move your finger. Trigger finger can affect any finger or thumb. It may affect more than

5. Harput G, Ulusoy B, Ozer H, Baltaci G, Richards J. External supports improve knee performance in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed individuals with higher kinesiophobia levels. Knee Sci Dir. 2016;23:807-812. The main focus of this article is to analyze the psychological effects between the use of a knee brace and the use of kinesio tape after ACL reconstructive surgery for individuals who suffer from kinesiophobia (fear of re-injury). This study included 30 individuals who underwent ACL

Soccer is one of the most popular and widely participated sports around the world. Watched and played by both male and female of many different age groups. It is a physically demanding sport and strength and conditioning has become a major part of players training programs the last number of years. Soccer is a multi-dimensional and dynamic sport that incorporates speed, agility, balance, endurance, power as well as repeated sprint ability. Over the last number of years strength and conditioning coaches

Arthroscopic Knee Surgery May Help Your Knee Pain If you have problems with chronic knee pain, your doctor may recommend you have arthroscopic surgery. This procedure has two purposes. It allows your doctor to see inside of your knee so a diagnosis can be made, and it also allows for repairs to be done to the ligaments and cartilage in your knee. Here are a few things to know about this type of surgery. How Arthroscopic Surgery Is Done The primary advantage of this type of surgery is that it can

uvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a diverse group of autoimmune-mediated, inflammatory joint disorders (Hashkes, 2005 & Spiegel, 2015). JIA is defined as chronic arthritis without any known cause, lasting longer than 6 weeks and onset of symptoms before 16 years of age (ILAR 2001 & Spiegel, 2015). JIA is the most common rheumatic disease in children and adolescents with 1 incidence per 1000 and at least 6000 Australians affected by the condition (Armon, 2014). The International League of Association

or modification of activity, occupational and physical therapy, splinting, and the use of NSAIDs or intraarticular steroid injections (41). In cases of instability due to fractures, reduction needs to be addressed first to ensure integrity of the joint anatomy to allow soft tissue healing. In cases of distal radius fractures, reduction and restoration of radial alignment is necessary and long term results show no difference in outcomes of conservative or surgical approaches following adequate fixation

Osgood-Schlatter; Robert Osgood and Carl Schlatter independently described this painful overuse condition of the tibial tuberosity in 1903. “The Osgood-Schlatter disease is common in active adolescents, possibly caused by multiple small avulsion fractures from contractions of the quadriceps muscles at their insertion into the proximal tibial apophysis.” (Ilgen, 2013, p. 1). When a child complains about the pain and swelling under their patella, it’s suspected that the juvenile may have Osgood-Schlatter
