1.1 Background Concomitant knee injuries and knee pain associated with lower limb fractures often stay undetected, or are inadequately addressed in fracture treatment plans, which then attributes to poor treatment outcomes. [1,2,3] The treatment of choice for tibial shaft fractures is intramedullary (IM) nailing.[4] After placing an IM nail during surgery, the ROM of the ipsilateral knee joint can be compromised due to pain, undetected ligamental, meniscal injuries, or the positioning of the IM tibial

and Skin Diseases, 2016). Knee Injuries. Injuries in the knee that are not very severe, but can still limit functionality are tendinitis, iliotibial band syndrome, and runner’s knee (National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, 2016). Tendinitis is the degeneration of a tendon where it connects with the bone (National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, 2016). Iliotibial band syndrome is pain in the outer knee caused by the tightening of the

The ACL injury is mostly common in sports that deal with jumping, running, and landing movements such as soccer (the most common), basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, and many more.

So on a scale from one to twenty, how many football players get injuries to be more specific, knee injuries.

A.D.Van Velzen et al (2005) conducted an experiment to compare the outcome of early treatment using elastic bandaging and rigid dressing and it was found that rigid dressing can reduce the risk of knee flexion contracture. In the research, the subjects were divided into three groups: (i) traditional elastic bandaging (ii) immediate fitting method and (iii) delayed fitting method. In the first condition, the stump of the subject was covered with a dressing bandage. Elastic bandaging was started once

Introduction Chronic knee pain is a common symptom in pathologies and conditions such as tibiofemoral and patellofemoral osteoarthritis (OA), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, and patellofemoral pain (PFP). These injuries are treated by physical therapists today more than ever before. In the United States, OA is the most common joint-related disorder (Zhang and Jordan, 2010). This study also reported that OA specific to the knee occurred in 13% of women and 10% of males over the age of 60

Introduction: A total knee replacement is a proven cost-effective treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis, with a positive effect on pain and function. However, only 80% of the patients are satisfied after surgery. The main reason to proceed with a TKA are pain and problems with activities of daily living (ADL).

twisting injury to left knee with lateral meniscus tear on 7/1/13. He was also noted to have preexisting osteoarthritis of the left knee. The claimant underwent arthrosopic partial meniscectomy on the left knee on 2/27/14 with some symptomatic relief. An orthopedic report on 1/13/14 noted ongoing left knee pain. The physical exam showed tenderness; pain with flexion and extension; positive McMuray's test and negative Drawer's test. X-rays of left knee on 1/13/15 showed mild left knee osteoarthritis.

A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the articular surfaces of the tibia, patella, and femur are replaced with prosthetic devices. It is performed to relieve pain from joints that have not been controlled by other methods of pain management. There are varieties of reasons a patient might need a knee replacement including rheumatoid arthritis, post traumatic arthritis, congenital knee deformity and in the case of my patient, osteoarthritis which is also the most common type of

Devastating Knee Injury   I thought I was invincible. I tried to be the best on the team, I worked hard and everything fell into place, that is, until my junior year.   The basketball season was going well. Christmas break was coming up and after it, we would start our league games. Our first league game was Paonia, our biggest rivals yet to step into Delta County.
