ARTHROSCOPY SURGERY
OVERVIEW
Shortly put it is a keyhole surgery where the bones are examined for treatment and diagnosis. A surgical procedure where the internal structure of the joint is examined for diagnosis and or treatment using Arthosocope. Used basically for joints on knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hips.
Where is Arthoscopy Surgery used ?
This type of surgery involves the use of a device named arthoscope to examine the joints. A thin metal tube about the size of a straw with camera and a light source added. Pictures are sent to the surgeon for joints to be visible. Mainly used for examining and diagnosing any variations in the bone structure. This surgery is the ideal one for all having persistent
That's basically it. A surgery that baseball players and fans have grown to appreciate, and one of the more scientific breakthroughs in modern sports medicine. And after doing this report I’m fascinated by the modern science and how a tendon in your wrist can be used as a ligament.

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.
Stethoscope functionality generally has not changed over the past few decades evolving from the monaural hollowed out wooden tube first invented in the early 1800’s by Rene Laennec to the more familiar long multi tubular version, improved upon by George Cammann 50 years later, we so typically see today. The core components of a modern stethoscope are comprised of ear tips, binaural piece, tubing and a diaphragm with a bell on the back. The bell transmits low frequency waves all the way up to the ear pieces, while the diaphragm is designed to carry the higher frequency sound. The two fathers of the stethoscope left little room for improvement on the near perfect design for just over a century until a Harvard Medical School professor by the name of David Littmann turned the simple listening device into the versatile diagnostic tool resting around almost every health care professional’s neck today.

Summary: Gynecomastia treatment in Mumbai is an excellent option to get rid of excess fat and mass from the chest area among males. Many males develop breasts which can be removed by gynecomastia surgery in Mumbai. Here are some safety precautions and risks involved with gynecomastia.
This type of joint mainly includes long bones as it’s necessary for movement in the skeletal
My patient was a twenty-two year old female and she suffers from bunions on both of her feet. Only the left foot was treated, because the severity level was higher. After her diagnosis, she was taken to surgery and had the first metatarsal operated on. Type of surgery that was performed is called a bunionectomy. This surgery requires a small piece of bone to be removed and repositioned by a piece of hardware (UPMC, 2014). My patient had a screw inserted from the lateral border of her first metatarsal. After the surgery, she came to x-ray to get post operation images. The order called for a left foot series, which includes the anterior posterior (AP), oblique, and lateral views. After the surgery she had a cast on, which meant techniques were increased on each view accordingly. The AP view was done with the tube angled about ten degrees cephalic with a technique set at 65 kVp and 3.2 mAs. Next the oblique was done by rolling her foot medially about thirty degrees with no angle on and using the same technique as the AP. After she was placed in a lateral position and increasing the mAs to 4.
Saint John’s One Day Surgery (ODS) offers patients a convenient and efficient same day surgical procedure that allows most patients to return home on the same day to recover. The objectives of this paper is to describe the physical environment of the ODS unit and explain the unit’s criteria so that the patient’s surgery may proceed as planned. It will also discuss some of the many roles of the ODS nurse and list one actual diagnosis and two potential nursing diagnoses, with associated supporting evidence, for a patient in the ODS on this particular day. This paper will conclude with my personal experience, both positive and negative, during

With the invention of the external fixator by an orthopedic surgeon from Russia, it manually pulled apart the patient's bone to increase height. This procedure was successfully used during WWII, for veterans who had leg fractures that would not heal.
A standing broad jump is a jump for distance from a standing position. It can be divided into four temporal phases: countermovement, propulsion, flight, and landing. In the countermovement phase, the subject squats to load up and extends the shoulders and the arms. In the propulsion phase, the goal is to generate enough force to propel the body forward. The person must stand erect in full extension of the trunk, hips, and knees. Then, the person flexes at the hip and the knee, which results with the trunk being rotated in a forward direction. Next, the arms become slightly flexed to hyperextension, to full flexion. Prior to the flight phase, the body goes into full extension. The flight phase begins as soon as the feet have left the ground. During this phase, the body stays in full extension or can become hyperextended. Towards the end of the flight phase, the trunk rotates forward in an anterior direction along with minor hip and knee flexion just before landing. During the landing phase, the knees and the hips are in maximum flexion and forward rotation of the trunk. There is also arm movement by moving both arms in the vertical direction to improve jumping distance. At the onset of the jump, the arm swings forward and during landing, they swing back and forth.
I chose the Da Vinci Surgical system as my topic because I am interested into going to physical therapy or into the orthopedics field after undergrad. Surgical equipment is highly important due to the hundreds of accidents that happen and also the high percentage of diseases. As these incidents occur it is important to consider the safety of the patient when it comes to cutting into their bodies. With the invention of the Da Vinci Surgical system it helped with vision and different viewpoints of the patient’s body and also improves precision. It is important to have a machine or tool for more than one type of surgery, one to use on patients with different injuries or diseases. Overall, this surgical system helps improve and help further research how precise and how in control a surgeon can be.
The proper title of this medical specialty is orthopedic surgery, although orthopedics is a generally accepted term.
Orthopedic surgeons are responsible for mending and operating on the musculoskeletal system. “Orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, care, and treatment of patients with disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and skin” (Career in Orthopaedics). Depending on the damage the patient has sustained determines how the orthopedic surgeon is able to correct the patient’s injury. In many cases there are multiple ways of correcting the patient’s injury such as; using medical, physical, and rehabilitative techniques to using complex surgical methods. “Typically, as much as 50 percent of the orthopedic surgeon’s practice is devoted to no surgical or medical management of injuries or disease and 50 percent to surgical management” (Career in Orthopaedics). The majority of surgeons, including orthopedic surgeons, prefer to choose the least invasive procedures such as; arthroscopy which is a technological advancement allowing orthopedic surgeons to use special cameras in order to diagnose and treat a joint with minimal cutting and trauma to...
