Knee Problem Analysis

DOI: 12/13/2012. This is a case of a 63-year-old male security officer who sustained a work-related injury to the right knee when he missed a step and fell down the stairs. As per Omni, the patient had a right knee meniscus tear. The patient had right knee replacement on 11/19/14.

Introduction The aim of this review paper is to access the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury of the knee (tibiofemoral) joint, which is a common sport and exercise injury related to the musculoskeletal system. Investigation of the anatomy and physiology of the knee joint, and the diagnosis, etiology, pathophysiology, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of ACL injuries will provide a descriptive epidemiology. This will aid readers in making informed management and treatment decisions, and guide them to safely perform movements to prevent injury. This review paper will incorporate holistic views on relevant scientific research, including primary resources such as journal articles and lecture notes, which will be cross-referenced

To determine the maximum length of the femur the negroid formula was used. The height range was 146.41-153.23cm. For the humorous the mongoloid and negroid formulas were used to find the maximum length of the humerus. The height range for the mongoloid formula was 138.74-142.44cm. Then for the negroid formula 148.2-156.7cm was the height range.

Understanding the cause of sports injury requires a precise description of the injury mechanism. Over two million anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur worldwide annually, and the greater prevalence for ACL injury in young female athletes is one of the major problems in sports medicine. The most common gender differences are reduced knee and hip flexion when landing, increased knee valgus, internal rotation of the femur and high quadriceps activity unbalanced by the hamstrings in female athletes (Renstrom 2013). The female ACL is smaller in length, cross-sectional area, and volume than the male ACL, even after adjusting for body anthropometry (Shultz 2010). The mechanical and molecular properties of the ACL are likely influenced not only by estrogen but also by the interaction of several sex hormones, secondary messengers, remodeling proteins, and mechanical stresses (Shultz 2010).

To make the knee joint in the center, we would need to move the field size anteriorly half an inch to an inch. There is optimal exposure with no motion. This image also visualizes the soft tissue, including fat pad region anterior to knee joint and sharp trabecular markings. My marker is clearly demonstrated and is out of any anatomy. There are no artifacts on this

The knee joint is one of the strongest and most important joints in the human body. It allows the lower leg to move relative to the thigh while supporting the body’s weight (Taylor, n.d.) as knee joint is one of the major weights bearing joint in the body. Knee joint plays an important role in our daily lives such as walking, running, sitting and standing. It allows physiological movement such as flexion and extension.

The most common knee injuries and torn ligaments are in football. Some of these injuries could end your college season of football, and you would not even get paid once you have to stop because of an

As more young men and women play sports in today’s society there is a greater risk of an ACL tear; however, there is also more knowledge about the procedures to fix it as well. Warren explains, “In the 1960’s and 1970’s, ACL injuries were often missed diagnostically, treated relatively poorly, or not treated at all.” About fifty years ago no doctor had the technology or knowledge of the body that doctors have now to fix an ACL tear. Back then doctors either let the athlete play while they were still injured or they would give them a shot to feel better. In the past ACL tears were not as usual as they are now.

No parent or coach wants to see a sport-loving child on the sidelines, which is why safety must always come first. For this reason, the first step towards successful knee injury prevention is understanding the types of football knee injuries. Sprains – the knee sprains involve damage to the ACL and/or the MCL. In severe cases, sprains involve complete tears of one or more knee ligaments.

(2002), it was found that females with a history of stress fractures showed greater peak impact forces, higher loading rates and a greater peak tibial acceleration than a group of control females who did not have a history of stress fractures. James et al. (1978) stated that the average runner could run up to 130km/week meaning the lower limb is subjected to approximately 40000 impacts over a weekly period. He also states that although a limb with normal alignment may withstand this type of repeated loading, an athlete with abnormal alignment, such as overpronation, can be a risk for developing an overuse running related injury. Soft tissue structures of the body such as muscles are adaptive to these forces and act to disperse forces as they move up along the

The gastrocnemius muscle of the frog was dissected away from the tibio-fibula bone while still being attached to the knee. The other parts such as the foot, thigh muscles and others were removed from the tibio-fibula except for the sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius. Bone shears was used to cut the tibio-fibula bond 8-10mm below the knee. The femur was cut close to the hip joint. The muscle left in the petri dish was moistened using the Frog Ringer’s until ready to

This can used as a parameter in improvising designs of prosthetic feet, on obtaining the radius of curvature values. Roll over shape is like the fingerprint for a person when it comes to gait. From roll over shapes, we can get radius of curvature, which is a measurement of stability of a person’s gait. The study also showed us results about the three most widely used prosthetic feet, proving Jaipur foot to be a better option when it comes to choosing prosthetic
