Femur

Human body are connected by complex pivotal hinge joint called knee. The upper and lower extremities are encompassed of cartilage, tendons and ligaments. There are two cartilage pads called menisci that diffuse the friction created at the tibial and femur joint. The main ligaments of the knee are Medial Collateral ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral ligament (LCL), Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), Anterolateral ligament (ALL), and Posterior Cruciate ligament (PCL). The knee is comprised

The gluteal region is an anatomical area located posteriorly to the pelvic girdle, at the proximal end of the femur. The muscles in this region move the lower limb at the hip joint. The gluteal muscle is composed of three muscles that make up the buttocks: Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius, and Gluteus Minimus. They are supplied by the gluteal nerves and vessels, which reach them through the greater sciatic foramen. The gluteus maximus is the largest of the gluteal muscles and one of the strongest

helpful in revision and extraction of well fixed cemented as well as uncemented fremoral components, facilitates in cement extraction and also in enhancing acetabular exposure. Tradional posterolateral ETO is initiated at the posterior aspect of the Femur. We describe a modification of ETO by an anterolateral approach. The advantage of this approach is that as it preserves an intact musculo-osseo-muscular sleeve comprising of (gluteus medius and minimus, Greater Trochanter & vastus lateralis) it allows

surgical procedure where the diseased knee joint is completely replaced by artificial materials that resemble the original knee joint. The orthopedic surgeon removed the end of the femur and the end of the tibia by using metal pieces and sawing the bone, to ensure that he removes the right amount of bone. The end of the femur bone is replaced with metal and the end of the tibia bone is replaced with plastic and metal. A plastic piece was added under the patella because the surface under the patella was

a complete or incomplete break (fracture) in the top of the thigh bone (femur), near the hip joint. This happens because of repeated pressure or strain (stress) on the femur and hip. A hip stress fracture usually happens on one side of the body, but it can happen in both hips. It usually heals in 3–6 months, with proper treatment. CAUSES This condition is caused by repeated stress or injuries (trauma) that weaken the femur over time. RISK FACTORS • People who have a previous or current bone

I was always told that I could walk at a very early age. Back when I think about it I was always running as a child. I could never keep still. I was placed into every sport imaginable played soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and even tennis. After I tried them I ended up getting tired of them. The only sport I really stuck with was soccer but in time it faded too. After that, I started to notice slight pains in my hips and I would usually walk with a limp. I went to the doctor on multiple

1 . Describe the Major bones, muscles,joints and joint actions used to perform this movement skill and how they influence the way the body moves. The overarm throw is a skill frequently used in a wide range of sports such as cricket,softball and baseball. The action is also used in athletic activities such as javelin, with the overhead serve and smash in tennis, volleyball and badminton and passing a netball and basketball.An overarm throw is the action of the arm swinging backwards then upwards

It was alarming that in the year 2012, one out of two adults in the United States was suffered from musculoskeletal dysfunctions (Lezin and Watkins-Castillo, 2016). Gait deviation and postural asymmetry are constantly observed among people with unilateral lower limb amputation, especially transfemoral amputation. Studies showed, amputees have 52-71% in getting low back pain and transfemoral amputees (TFAs) has 50% more chance of getting knee osteoarthritis (OA) at the intact leg (Ehde et al., 2001

second-hand smoke. Children who have this disease will more than likely to have arthritis in the area when they are older. It occurs when the blood supply (ischemia) to the head of the femur (the ball) is cut off and the head begins to die (avascular necrosis). It is a temporary disease, because after the head of the femur collapses a new one will regenerate back to a normal hip. This disease will cause pain and can cause a limp in those affected. Doctors can use MRI’s,

Patellar Dislocation and Subluxation With Phase I Rehab The kneecap (patella) is located in a groove at the end of the thighbone (femur). Patellar dislocation and patellar subluxation are injuries that happen when the patella slips out of its normal position. In a patellar subluxation, the patella slips partly out of the groove. In a patellar dislocation, it slips all the way out of the groove. CAUSES This condition may be caused by: A hit to the knee. Twisting the knee when the foot
