few paragraphs will explain what the ACL is, the signs and symptoms of an ACL injury, and how it is repaired. To begin, ACL stands for Anterior Cruciate Ligament. An ACL is one of the two ligaments in the center of the knee that helps hold the femur to the tibia and properly stabilizes the knee (Still 4). Twisting and/or hyperextension of the knee commonly cause an ACL injury. An ACL injury is a very common in sports such as basketball, football, and soccer, however, an ACL injury can happen in
bone. Stress fractures are often caused by increasing your level of physical activity too quickly. Most hip stress fractures happen in the femoral neck. The femoral neck is the area of the upper leg bone (femur) that connects the ball of the femur to the rest of the femur. The ball of the femur fits into the socket of the pelvis to form the hip joint. Stress fractures may happen on the bottom side of the femoral neck (compression fractures) or on the top side of the femoral neck (tension fractures)

This could be a result of poor excavation skills. Most elements show signs of root etching, varying in visibility. This erosion varies in severity throughout all of the elements. The left and right femur and the left tibia are peeling due to an unknown cause. Works Cited Trotter, M., Gleser G.C. 1958. A Re-Evaluation of Estimation of Stature
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Jayson Garcia Eng 102 April 29th 2016 APA Medical Paper Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also called fragile bone ailment or Lobstein disorder, is an inherent bone issue portrayed by weak bones that are inclined to break effortlessly with practically zero cause. A arrangement of various sorts of OI is regularly used to depict how seriously a man with OI is affected.OI is brought on by hereditary deformities
A femoral neck fracture is an injury sustained to the weakest part of the femur bone, the neck. These injuries are usually seen in active young individuals after serious trauma and in elderly populations from falling. That being said, the elderly population is more prone to this injury due to the lack of density and the loss of minerals overtime within their bones. Femoral Neck Fractures can be devastating and can cause many obstacles in a person’s life. Treatment is a crucial part of rehabilitation
joint is comprised of the head (“ball”) of the femur (“thigh bone”) and the acetabulum (“socket”) of the pelvis. Surrounding the hip joint are many tough ligaments that provide support and protection to prevent the dislocation of the joint but allow a wide range of movements. The strong muscles of the hip region also help to hold the hip joint together, to move the bones and prevent dislocation. Cartilage lines both the acetabulum and the head of the femur, providing a smooth surface and preventing friction
Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and gnarled. Although any vein can technically become varicose, most often, those varicose veins appear in your feet and legs. This is because the pressure that is caused when you are standing or walking puts pressure on those veins more than veins in other parts of the body. Are Varicose Veins Painful? In some cases varicose veins are simply a cosmetic nuisance that don't cause any pain. However, in other situations, they can be pretty painful
Introduction Perilunate dislocation (PLD) and perilunate fracture dislocations are complex types of wrist instabilities, resulting from high energy injuries such as motor vehicle accidents, falls from height, and extreme athletic activities that constitute about 10% of all carpal injuries (1), while scaphoid fractures, associated with dislocation of capitate from the lunate, referred to as transscaphoid perilunate dislocations (TSPDs) are observed in 61% to 65% of these types of injuries (2). Perilunate
1.Introduction Bones are rigid organs that help remain internal structure of vertebrates and the femur is the largest bone in human. Femurs can withstand approximately ten times body weight in static but we can easily break them in dynamic situations. There are many types of bone fractures, but still can be classified roughly by the force directions and causes. Transverse fracture: a fracture at a right angle to the bone's axis. Oblique fracture: a fracture in which the break has a curved or Comminuted
In this essay, taking a process from everyday life and discussing it as a staged process that involves layers of decision making. The process chosen for this purpose involves acquiring, preparing, using and discarding a leg of meat, and in the process producing products and by products. Endeavoring to identify the processes involved in treating the leg of lamb in such a way that they will be “interpretable” to future generations is the ultimate aim of this essay.

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
grasshopper and human subject. The jumping distance of the grasshoppers was more than the jumping distance of humans and the TTEST value was less than 0.05. 2. Relative Femur Muscle Mass The grasshopper jumps farther relative to humans because the ratio of grasshopper’s femur mass to body mass is greater than the human’s ratio of femur mass to body mass. Relative leg length The grasshopper jumps better relative to humans because the leg length compared to the body length ratio is more for the grasshopper
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 well with
surgery is done by an orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon has to open the knee and move that patella to get a better view of the affected areas. After the 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
standing. The knee joint is the largest joint in the body and it relies on a variety of ligaments, tendons, and soft tissue structures to maintain flexibility, stability, and strength. The knee joint is formed by articulations between the patella, femur and tibia. The knee joint is a hinge synovial joint. Like all synovial joints, the knee is surrounded by soft tissue structures and ligaments that support the joint and help facilitate a wide range of movement. The knee joint requires these multiple

The hip joint is the articulation between the pelvis and the femur, characterized by the joint surface opposition of the acetabulum and the head of femur creating a synovial ball and socket joint. It is one of the largest and most stable joints in the body. Figure ( ): Anatomy of the hip, adapted from (Connecticut, 2006) The stability of the hip joints is achieved by the depth and congruence of the articular surfaces, further deepened and stabilized by the acetabular labrum. The fibrocartilagenous
Hospital). The ACL is a ligament that runs diagonally in the middle of the knee and found at the front of the patellar bone. Its function involves controlling the back and forth motion of the knee, preventing the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur, and providing rational stability to the knee. Interestingly, women are more prone to ACL injuries than men. The occurrence is four to six times greater in female athletes. Knee injuries are the second most common injuries in basketball players, as
