Tenon Disorders: A Literature Review

Solution Name of the professional Dr. Paul N. Abeyta, M.D Profession Engaged in the professions of Sports medicine and orthopedic surgery How did he decided on this occupation Dr. Abeyta has a faith that tremendous outputs can be attained with unambiguous treatment and conversation schemes that are customized to the individual necessities of patient. He put emphasis on wound deterrence and makes the most of a multidisciplinary group which comprises superiorly taught licensed athletic trainers and corporeal therapists. He believes that cautious diagnostic assessment, sympathetic care, and appliances of existing surgical technique and medical information are all vital for returning the patients to their pre-injury point of movement.

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

This tendon is located on the supraspinatus muscle and attached to the head of the humerus bone. This treatment would

The focus of the project is on the Plantar Fasciitis in the sport of the Soccer or Football if you are on the European side of the world. The Plantar Fascia, which is where the condition is mostly focus on, is made of thick fibers called fibrous aponeuroses. When the individual preforms activities, the stress and the tension begins to take a toll on the area. In soccer, or football, this is a very common

Tips for Preventing Temporomandibular Joint Pain Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) is a group of symptoms identified by the pain caused in the head, face and jaw. These symptoms include soreness in the chewing muscles, headaches, and stiffness or clicking of the joints. TMJ in most cases is a long-lasting painful condition that reduces the quality of life. Even though patients are aware of the symptoms, they are often misinformed about the possible treatment options.

The purpose of this essay is to describe structure and function of the tendon, present a discussion on the process of pathophysiological Tendinopathy and provide a review of known intervention used to manage or treat both acute and chronic tendinopathies. Tendons act to serve a connective tissue linking muscle to bony attachment points and in the case of the intermediate tendons that will act to link a muscle belly to another (Benjamin and Kaiser, et al). Tendons are a uniaxial and assist in force transmission thus being able to withstand external forces from multiple planes and angles (Kannus, 2008). Tendons are also responsible for storage of power and changes in the mechanical energy of the body of which in turn reduces muscular work by

Clinical Decision Rules are a set of guidelines for clinicians to evaluate the need for radiographs avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure and ruling out the possibility of fracture. It is important to mention that before Clinical Decision Rules were established most patients were exposed to radiographs many of them getting negative reports and costing unneeded time and money. In addition of those three important Clinical Decision Rules ‘benefits, we cannot forget the opportunity provided by them for consistency in care. I intend to discuss the Clinical Decision Rules for the knee/ankle/foot applicable to the pediatric population.

NEUROMUSCULAR , PROPRIOCEPTIVE AND BALANCE TRAINING VS BRACING AND TAPING FOR PREVENTING RECURRENT ANKLE SPRAIN IN ATHLETES INTRODUCTION An ankle sprain is an injury to the tough ligaments that surrounds the bones and keeps in contact with each other (1). In India more than ten million cases per year is recorded (2). Ankle sprain makes about 15% of all athletic injuries occurring each day (1).

This pathology is a posterior heel pain, which includes many other pathologies as well. Achilles tendonitis can be diagnosed clinically and radiographically. This pathology is a chronic pain only

Patellar tendonitis (PT) is a chronic overuse injury, associated with anterior knee pain sustained during activity, and is a result of the patella tendon becoming overstressed and inflamed (Kettunen et al., 2002). A tendon is defined as a dense, fibrous tissue which is made up of collagenous fibres and attaches muscles to other body parts; usually bones. The patella tendon is located on the anterior aspect of the knee, and is a continuation of the quadriceps tendon and attaching on to the patella and the tibial tuberosity (Kuntzman and Tortora, 2010) and is the main structure by which the knee straightens. When the quadriceps muscles contract, the patella tendon is pulled, and in turn this pulls on the tibia, causing the leg to straighten.

The non-invasive imaging techniques of X-ray, CT-scan, MRI, Bone scan and Ultrasound can capture only gross cartilage defects and may not be useful for early detection of cartilage pathology [6]. The semi-invasive 2 techniques of arthroscopy are a diagnostic and surgical procedure to

Knee pain is the leading symptom, usually becoming worse when the affected knee is put in motion and improving when it is at rest. Persistent pain at rest, or at night, can be a sign of advanced osteoarthritis. The physical examination should incorporate all relevant findings, including findings on inspection and palpation, testing of the range of movement, and special functional tests when needed (e.g., ligament stability, meniscus tests, gait analysis). In imaging studies, X-ray imaging are used both for primary diagnosis and to assess the progression of the disease.

The hind foot: Itconfigures the heel and the ankle. The talus bone upkeepsthe leg bones (tibia and fibula), creating the ankle. The calcaneus (heel bone) is the biggest bone in your foot. Ligaments, muscles and tendonscourse along the planes of your feet, allowing the complexarrangementsdesirable for movement and steadiness. The Achilles tendon attaches your heel to the calf muscles and is indispensible for loping, hopping, and being upright on yourtoes.

Tendons are fibrous connective tissues composed of mostly of parallel arrays of collagen fiber bundles that densely packed together. Tendon usually connects muscle to bone, functioning simply to transmit forces and withstand tension during the contraction of muscles. A rupture and laceration of the tendon is more often the result of tensile force beyond what the tissue can stretch. Annually, there are 16.4 million musculoskeletal injuries in the United States which involve tendon and ligament injuries. It was evaluated that 200,000 ACL tears happen every year in the United States with 100,000 ACL reconstructive surgeries performed annually.

Healthy and functionally instable subjects took part in this study. For the step down protocol, the test leg was used as the step down leg off a 20cm high platform onto a force plate. This protocol is a replication from a study by Colby et al about ACL deficits. The jump landing protocol was taken from the study mentioned above by Ross et al. The conclusion from the study by Wilkstrom et al concluded that the best protocol to use to compare health and functionally instable ankles is the jump landing and should be analysed using the unbounded third order polynomial
