Samantha Pothier Lateral Ankle Sprains An inversion ankle sprain is when the ankle is turned inwards and there is an injury to a ligament either tearing or stretching. Inversion Ankle sprains are the most common and usually happen when the ankle is forced into plantar flexion and also forced inward. An ankle sprain can be just a stretch of the muscle or tendon, and it also can partially or completely tear. (2. Ferrel) There are different degrees of ankle sprains.
There are three main types of soft tissues and these include tendons, muscles and ligaments. Our muscles contract to produce movement and they are attached to bones by tendons. Ligaments which are strong bonds of inelastic fibrous tissue connect bone to bone. Unfortunately for us these soft tissues cause major injuries mainly whilst participating in sporting events. The three types of soft tissue injuries include, sprain, strain and contusion.
A toddler’s fracture is a fracture of the distal part of the shin bone, which is the tibia, in toddlers from nine months to three years of age. Also in children younger than eight years of age. The causes of a toddlers fracture are such as when a child is running or steps on something on the floor and loses their footing. The symptoms include pain, swelling over the
Spiral breaks are seen more in children as well, these breaks are where the bones are twisted apart. Compression fractures are caused by compressions to the bone. This can most likely occur with people who have osteoporosis. A Colles fracture is a wrist break; backward and outward displacement of the hand. This fracture was named after an Irish surgeon Abraham Colles.
Each clavicle is attached to the breastbone (sternum) at one end and to the shoulder blade (scapula) at the other end. They connect the arms to the trunk of the body. The Collar Bone or Clavicle is one of the most frequently broken bones in the body. A broken Collar bone is an extremely common shoulder injury in Motocross
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway about as big around as your thumb located on the palm side of your wrist. This tunnel protects a main nerve to your hand and nine tendons that bend your fingers. Compression of the nerve produces the numbness, pain and, eventually, hand weakness that characterize carpal tunnel syndrome. Fortunately, for most people who develop carpal tunnel syndrome, proper treatment usually can relieve the pain and numbness and restore normal use of their wrists and hands. Carpal tunnel syndrome is common in people who perform repetitive motions of the hand and wrist.
Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis is a crippling condition that often prevents people from working within five to ten years of diagnosis. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is characterized by a gradual loss of cartilage in the joints. Cartilage is tough tissue that provides cushioning between the bones that make up the joints. Loss of this protective cushion often results in bone spurs and cysts and allows bones to rub on each other, which is extremely painful. The affected joints are usually “load-bearing” joints located in the knees, hands, hips, feet, and spine, although the condition often starts in a single joint.
But whether single or multiple, their similar morphology. This tumor occurs in the metaphysis of long bone, especially in distal femur, proximal tibia is most prevalent, followed by the proximal humerus, and foot bones were very few at. Tumor size ranging in diameter is generally 3 ~ 4cm, large by up to 10cm or more. Tumor type and can be divided into broad-based pedicle two kinds, bulge outward from the bone surface, the surface was hemispherical, cauliflower-like or polypoid. Osteochondroma of the structure is more special, and can be divided into three layers.
jaw, knee and elbow), gliding (e.g. wrist and ankle), and pivot (e.g. between the vertebrae in the neck) Bones: - Moving and positioning an individual in an incorrect manner can cause bone fractures (breaks). There are also several different types of fracture, which vary in cause and severity: - A “simple” fracture is the most common of these and is when the bone breaks cleanly. This may be caused by even small amounts of pressure when assisting someone or even when standing for a short while to transfer.
A Case Study on Tennis Elbow Subject – Female 32years typist and elite amateur golfer Introduction Lateral epicondylitis / lateral epicondylalgia or tennis elbow is a common pathology of both athletes and non athletes affecting 1-3% of the population at large (Greenfield et al 2002). The lack of pathological evidence of inflammation in these types of injuries has led most authors to now refer to this condition as an epicondylosis. It is a term applied to a strain of the wrist extensor muscles at four possible sights (Cyraix & Cyraix 1983, Cyriax 1984). The four sites are:- 1. The teno-osseous junction of the common extensor tendon from the anteolateral aspect of the lateral epicondyle 2.
