My New years 2016 Have you ever snowboarded? Have you ever gone off a ramp while snowboarding? Have you ever hurt yourself snowboarding? Well I have done all three of them and now I have a broken leg because of it. Now I will tell you how I got hurt from the beginning.New year's morning we were at our aunt's house because we (me and my brother) had spent the night.When we woke up our aunt told us that we were going sledding, So we grabbed the sleds and headed to the hill. As soon as we got there
Approximately 25,000 people experience getting a sprained ankle every day (By the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons). When having a sprained ankle your doctor could recommend you going to visit a physical therapist. Physical therapist help people who’ve been injured or sick, and the physical therapist will help the patient back to their healthy life style, like they were before their injury. They also help people with permit disabilities. As a physical therapist you have patients depending
meniscus tear is a knee injury in which a piece of the meniscus is torn. The meniscus is a thick, rubbery, wedge-shaped cartilage in the knee. Two menisci are located in each knee. They sit between the upper leg bone (femur) and larger lower leg bone (tibia). Each meniscus acts as a shock absorber for the knee and helps keep the knee stable. A torn meniscus is one of the most common types of knee injuries. This injury can range from mild to severe. Surgery may be needed for a severe tear. CAUSES This
side is an attachment of fabric and wood possibly from the burial box. The central incisors and the lateral incisor of the left maxilla are missing. All other teeth are present in the maxilla and the mandible. Neither fibula are present and the right tibia is also missing. Various hand and foot bones are missing. In the vertebral column one thoracic vertebra is missing and another it is fragmented. The skull of the individual expresses mild porosity, especially along the brow ridge and both of the external
Osgood-Schlatter Disease or syndrome (OSD) is an irritation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity (Dhar). Osgood-Schlatter Disease is claimed by some to not actually be a disease (Sims). But is rather a collection of symptoms that involves the tibial tubercle epiphysis (Sims). Osgood-Schlatter Disease affects as many as 1 in 5 adolescent athletes (Diseases and Conditions: Osgood-Schlatter Disease). Some other common names for this disease are Osteochondrosis, Tibial Aponphysitis, Tibial
knee is where the most damage is. Although it does not happen often, a knee dislocation is a serious injury. Being different than a patellar dislocation which is where the patella relocates to another spot of the knee, a knee dislocation is where the tibia and femur are forcibly separated. Not only can one dislocate their knee, they also can also tear their anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, and sometimes tear the medial collateral ligament or the lateral collateral ligament. As
longer connects to the ankle and is shorter than the tibia. This is the iconic drumstick of the chicken that we all have enjoyed at one point in time. While the chicken is developing in the embryo, it has been observed that birds develop a tubular fibula that is also and observed trait in dinosaurs. The lengthwise growth of the epiphysis occurs if the bone retains a cartilaginous
The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The fibula is only involved to the extent that it serves as an attachment site for connective tissue. In this paper, the anatomy of the joint will be discussed. The knee is a hinge-type, diarthrotic, or freely moveable joint. Also referred to as a synovial joint, the 2 articulating ends of bone are encased in a capsule that lubricates the joint with synovial fluid to reduce friction. Each
compartment. They are well protected by these muscles. The symptoms of posterior compartment are less striking due to the fact it being more large and elastic. Blood supply to tibia: The blood supply to the tibial shaft comes from the nutrient artery and the periosteal vessels. The nutrient artery of the tibia arises from the posterior tibial artery and enters the posterior-lateral cortex of the bone at the origin of the Soleus muscle. This artery
Osteosarcoma, characterized as a neoplasm that produces osteoid, is a highly malignant tumor that develops predominantly in the metaphysis of the long bones, often in the distal femur and proximal tibia. More rare osteosarcomas may develop in the soft tissue. Although the malignancy usually arises in the medullary cavity of the metaphysis of a growing tubular long bone, less frequent growth patterns can develop on the surface on the bone. Surface osteosarcomas, as well as being significantly rarer
patella has been moved the surgeon removes that cartilage on the femur that has been affected by the arthritis. The end of the femur is then cut so that the femoral component of the prosthesis will fit properly. After the affect area of the tibia is removed and the tibia is cut so that the tibial tray will fit properly. During total knee replacement surgery the posterior cruciate ligament can be affected, changing the flexion and extension. This change can affect the joint compression in the knee as well
to fifth digit. The Extensor Hallicus Longus run from the shaft of the tibia to the great toes. The Tibialis Anterior travel from lateral condyle to the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal bone. The Peroneus Brevis run from the distal portion of the fibia shaft to the fifth metatarsal and is responsible for eversion of the foot. The Peroneus Longus run from distal portion of the tibia and lateral condyle of the tibia to the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal bone. Lastly, the Extensor
originates above the joint line on the medial condyle of the femur and inserts below the joint line on the tibia. MCL also serves as a resist to external tibial rotation. MCL remains tight during knee extension and relaxed during flexion. - Injury may occur in MCL either as a result of a medially directed valgus force from the lateral side or it could occur from the external rotation of the tibia. As a combination of rotation and valgus stress MCL, ACL and PCL can tear. If the sprains are mild-to-moderate
while performing different physical activities such as walking, running, in rotational motion, sitting, static positions etc. what we used to do in our day to day life. Major parts in a knee joint are femur, tibia, patella and meniscus. It has two articulation components one is in between tibia and femur and another in between femur and patella. Knee joint is a pivot hinge joint. It permits extension and flexion of leg with that rotation in both internal as well as external part. It‘s articular bodies
the posterior surface of the tibia and posterior aspect of head of fibula. Two minor muscles in walking are the tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior. The tibialis anterior inverts the foot and dorsiflex the ankle. Its origin is on the lateral condyle of the tibia and the insertion is on the medial cuneiform and base of the first metatarsal. The tibialis posterior inverts the foot but plantar flex the ankle. Its origin is on the proximal posterior shafts of the tibia and fibula, while it s insertion
Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology MED 111 Discussion 1 DISCUSSION TOPIC: Describe the body systems, listing major organs in each using anatomical planes and directional terms. In addition, discuss how the planes could be used to help a patient describe a patient concern. “An organ system is a group of anatomical structures that work together to perform a specific function or task.” (Christensen,). The organ systems of the body include: cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system
are many types of reconstructive surgery on the ACL. However, there is an alternative to surgery in the form of physical therapy. To understand the importance of the ACL, the knee as a whole must be examined. The knee is formed by the femur, the tibia, and the patella. Several muscles and ligaments control the motion of the knee and protect it from damage at the same time. Ligaments are dense structures of connective tissue that fasten bone to bone and stabilize the knee. Two ligaments on either
anatomy of the menisci and why they are important. The menisci are two oval (semilunar) fibrocartilages that deepen the articular facets of the tibia and cushion any stresses placed on the knee joint. They enhance the total stability of the knee, assist in the control of normal knee motion, and provide shock absorption against compression forces between the tibia and the femur (Booher, 2000). Articular cartilage covers the ends of the bones that make up the joint. The articular cartilage surface is a
joint exes, the point of contact moves behind, while during extension it moves forward. This is achieved by theanterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The ACL is attached to the tibia anteriorly and the femur posteriorly, while the PCL to the tibia posteriorly and the femur anteriorly. These two ligaments with the two bones form a sort of four bar mechanism which facilitates this sort of motion[? ]. Quadriceps is the only muscle which is involved in extending
As the soccer ball was rolling out of bounds, I felt my opponent right on my back. In that moment, I would not have guessed that the next year would drastically change seconds later. My leg gave out as I heard a heart breaking pop and fell to the ground. Over 250,000 Americans tear their Anterior Cruciate Ligaments (ACL) each year, myself included. Female athletes are eight times more susceptible to tear their ACL as a result of physiological and anatomic differences. Building up specific muscles
