MRI of the knee -Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear Introduction The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important structure in maintaining the normal biomechanics of the knee and is the most commonly injured knee ligament. ACL tears may be partial or complete. A partial tear can involve both or only a single bundle to varying degree, can range from a minor tear involving just a few fibers to a high grade near-complete tear involving almost all of the ACL fibers. Anatomy and physiology The ACL originates

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

5 miraculous ways to get knee pain relief It sounds beautiful to get down on your knees when you are in love but it is extremely painful to go weak at your knees due to unbearable knee pain. Knee pain can strike suddenly and may creep silently. Reasons are many but do not let knee pain side-line you from doing things you enjoy. Try out these simple yet powerful home remedies for knee pain- 1. Fat-Hen or Bathua leaves We all must have relished the delicious parathas made of bathua leaves but have

Knee Fracture, Pediatric A knee fracture is a break in a bone of the knee. The break may be in the kneecap (patella), the lower part of the thighbone (femur), or in the upper part of the shinbone (tibia). There are several kinds of fractures. They include: Greenstick. In this type of fracture, the bone cracks on one side. Bend. In this type of fracture, the bone is bent and not actually broken. Torus. In this type of fracture, the bone is twisted or buckled but not broken. Complete

ABSTRACT Ligament and meniscal injuries are traumatic injuries in the knee. Ligaments are fibrous connective tissue that connect the bone to the cartilage and it also holds a joint together. The ACL is the ligament that gets injured the most due to where it is sited in the knee. When ligament or meniscus injury occurs, the client will experience pain and good possibility of instability of the joint. What will the client feel when injury occurs? When do most injuries occur? What surgical management

Introduction: In severe knee deformities, traumatic or congenital, malalignment of the mechanical axis of the femur and tibia causes excessive joint loading, which may increase articular cartilage degeneration. Osteotomy is a recognised treatment technique in such cases, as it redistributes the weight-bearing force on the knee. It can be performed in the distal femur or proximal tibia. Varus deformity causes excessive pressure in the medial compartment, therefore proximal tibial osteotomy, medial

lower extremities. Lower extremities include the hip, knee and ankle joints and the femur, tibia, fibula, and multiple foot bones. This paper will focus on the role of the ACL, how it is injured, and the rehabilitation process. While each component of the lower extremity has its own role, the knee is the most complex. The knee joint performs various functions and carries most of the weight of the upper body. There are four ligaments in the knee joint: the anterior

Miller (2015) depicts that the symptoms and severity of a knee ligament sprain relies on upon the level of stretching or tearing of the ligament. In his study he has included 3 grades of knee ligament sprain. 1) In a mild grade 1: knee ligament sprain, the ligaments may extend but they don’t actually tear. The joint cannot swell or hurt very much. It can increase the risk of injury again. 2) With a moderate evaluation II sprain: Bruising and swelling are most common sign. Ligaments get partially

Gait pattern at the patients with knee osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disorder; knee is the joint that most frequently affected.1 During 1988 to 1994, among US adults, the prevalence of knee OA was 37.4%, and the prevalence was greater among women than men (42.1% vs 31.2%).2 Knee OA will impair lower extremity function, and influencing the quality of life. The most common complaints from the patients with knee OA are pain, daily functional decline, joint deformity, and
