Anterior cruciate ligament

The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the major ligaments of the knee, which passes between the femur and tibia obliquely. Its function is to provide stability to the knee, keeping the leg is moved forward with respect to the thigh. Of the four major ligaments of the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament is the one most commonly injured, especially when a sudden change occurs in the direction of the knee. The most common injuries are torn anterior cruciate ligament and partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament. Symptoms include pain, inability to walk or stand for long periods, or up and down stairs. For the treatment of both lesions can opt for surgery by arthroscopy or conservative treatment based on rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles. ...

Patients whose onset is gradual usually have previous symptoms of tendinitis by impingement. The tendon degeneration with age also causes breakage. ...

broken collarbone

The clavicle is the long, thin bone at the top of the chest between the sternum and shoulder. Its function is to connect the upper limb to the chest and shoulders aligned maintain. It contains various muscles (deltoids and trapezoid on the top face and subclavian muscle, ligament and ligament conoid trapezoid on the bottom) are inserted.

Elbow Pain

Elbow pain encompasses all issues that may affect the elbow joint. The cause most often causes pain in this area is tendinitis, or inflammation of the tendons. In this sense, the players tend to injure the tendons on the outside of the elbow, a condition called epicondylitis or tennis elbow. That injury also suffer the people who make repeated movements, especially of rotation of the forearm or wrist extension. Other causes of elbow pain may be bursitis, arthritis, muscle strain or infection. The painful elbow can also occur as a result of a problem in the spine. Therefore, treatment depends on the cause and type of injury. ...

Epicondylitis

Usually, the trouble is most noticeable during working hours and after the completion of efforts like picking up objects by hand, which sometimes causes the patient lack of strength in his forearm. The usual treatment includes rest, ice, medication management, stretching, compression or point of pain with an elbow strap. ...

Fracture Shoulder

The shoulder fracture is a break or a crack in the collarbone, in the scapula or the proximal humerus. In the latter case it would be called fracture of the humerus. Shoulder fractures often result from a sudden force applied on the arm (a sharp drop, bump occurred during sports or a car accident). The most common symptoms of this injury are pain, swelling, tenderness, deformity under the skin, violet color or skin discoloration, cracking and inability to move the arm. In general, the treatment of a fractured shoulder surgery needed, but we must also take into account the conservative options and minimally invasive surgical options such as arthroscopy. ...

Fractured elbow

  The elbow fracture occurs when there is a break in one or more of the bones of the elbow. The main cause of this injury is usually a trauma to the elbow bones, which can be caused by a fall on an outstretched arm, fell directly on the elbow, a direct blow or twist exceeds the normal range of motion. Other factors that increase the options of having an elbow fracture are advanced age, reduced muscle mass, osteoporosis and excessive practice of certain sports. The general symptoms of an elbow fracture is pain, swelling and bruising around the elbow, numbness in the fingers, hand or forearm; decreased range of motion; and visible bulge.

Usually, these bones are injured by falls, traffic accidents, injuries in contact sports and exercise, shock and other injuries. Symptoms of knee fracture are pain, swelling, limited range of motion, deformed leg and inability to walk, among others. Treating knee fracture depends on fractured bone and the type of fracture. If parts of the bones are properly aligned, perhaps it is enough to placing a splint or cast to the knee. However, if the patella is affected, you could specify an operation.

Lateral external ligament

The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) or lateral collateral ligament is one of four major ligaments that support the knee joint. Connects the femur to the tibia: it goes from the top of the tibia in the lower section of the femur. Its function is not to allow lateral mobility of the knee joint stable and maintain the outer side of the joint. The most common injuries occur by pressure or an injury that pushes the knee joint from the inside, which results in stress on the outside. The symptoms of a rupture or tear of the lateral collateral ligament are: swelling of the knee, blocking knee motion, pain or tenderness on the outer side of the knee, the knee gives way or feels like to do when It is active or voltage. You must make an examination of the lateral collateral ligament laxity possible to study this. It involves bending the knee to 25 degrees and putting pressure on the inner surface. They should also take X-rays of the joint, MRI, among other studies. The patient should apply ice to the area, in addition to anti-inflammatory, knee and constantly raise physical activity until the pain and swelling go away. ...

Medial collateral ligament

The medial collateral ligament of the knee is one of the ligaments that support the joint, and limit their movement from side to side. It runs from the inside of the bottom of the thighbone to the inside of the top of the shin bone, ie joins the femur to the tibia. The main injury affecting this area are the medial collateral ligament sprain and rupture of the medial collateral ligament usually caused by trauma to the knee when it is in a flexed position or external rotation and valgus (outward deflection by congenital) malformation. Another complication affecting this ligament is the Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome, which is the ossification of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. ...

Meniscus

The menisci are cartilage located within the knee, both on the inside (medial meniscus) and outer (lateral meniscus), which dampen the shock between the femur and the tibia. The menisci of the knee are the most damaged structures to be hit in that area, especially in sports like soccer. In fact, the medial meniscus is more prone to injury than the lateral meniscus, and which is connected to medial collateral ligament and the joint capsule, so that it is less mobile. Treatment of a meniscus injury as broken medial meniscus may involve surgery, depending on the patient. In case of surgery, only the damaged part of the meniscus is cut by arthroscopy. ...

  The term encompasses painful shoulder all the problems that can cause shoulder pain. The causes that can trigger a disease or injury in the shoulder may be in the degeneration of the tendons due to wear, work, or sports physicals efforts repeatedly and violent trauma. The general symptom of shoulder pain is pain that may be accompanied by loss of arm mobility. The concept encompasses clinical conditions as rotator cuff tendinitis, calcium tendinitis, rotator cuff tear, biceps tendinitis, subacromial bursitis and adhesive capsulitis or retractable. The shoulder pain can also be caused by a disease of the connective tissue or connective such as rheumatoid arthritis. ...

Patellar Tendonitis

Patellar tendinitis is inflammation of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the tibia. It is located in the front of the knee, just below the kneecap, and intervenes in the movements of knee extension. This tendon can become inflamed and cause pain in the performance of certain activities involving overexertion and repetitive minor trauma. The main symptom of this type of tendinitis of the knee is pain that increases when the tendon force (usually with running, jumping or climbing stairs), and in the most severe cases, can hurt even when walking. The treatment of patellar tendinitis is rest, anti-inflammatories, local application of cold and rehabilitation exercises of the quadriceps muscles. If the above measures no improvement is obtained infiltrations may be required and only sometimes opt for surgery. ...

Posterior cruciate ligament

The posterior cruciate ligament connects the tibia and femur. Its function is to limit the play of the tibia relative to the femur, as well as limiting the tibial external rotation and along the anterior cruciate ligament, the forces applied to restrict the movement of the knee inward or outward, especially when important the knee is flexed. PCL injury may be caused by direct trauma to the front of the tibia that may occur, for example, in an accident in which the knee is bent and a strong impact causing it to bend backwards or is forcibly deformed. When the injury is caused by high-energy trauma, it relates to more serious injuries, fractures of long bones, pelvis or postero-external injuries or other complex structures. In most cases, partial immobilization support is applied for approximately 4 or 8 weeks and once this period is carried out rehabilitation. ...

Rotator cuff injury

The rotator cuff injury is an inflammatory process, or partial or total damage of the shoulder tendons. The rotator cuff is a group of four tendons that come together and surround ahead, behind and above the head of the humerus. These tendons are connected individually with major muscles attached to the shoulder blade or scapula. By contracting these muscles, stimulate the rotator cuff tendons, causing the lifting movements, separation and internal and external rotation, hence the name "rotator cuff". ...

Second medical opinion

The second opinion is the medical report containing the diagnostic or therapeutic proposal from the illness of a patient by a different professional who established the first diagnosis. Patients may request a second medical opinion are those who want to confirm or know the valuation of another specialist. If the second opinion is different and the patient chooses the latter option, you can receive assistance both in the center normally attending the patient, as in the center where the final diagnosis is made. ...

Shoulder dislocation

The shoulder dislocation is an injury that occurs when the humeral head (the main arm bone) slips out of the joint cavity. Usually the result of a direct blow to the shoulder or a fall in the whole body on the extension arm rests. It is a painful injury that prevents moving the arm. Sometimes the humerus comes to tear the capsule that surrounds and damages the ligaments of the shoulder, making projecting the bulk of the humeral head. They are more likely to suffer an injury that people who practice certain sports, like judo, hockey, rugby, skiing and handball. Usually, to treat dislocated shoulder sling is placed on the arm for at least four weeks. Next, it is advisable to do rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the muscles in the area. If the injury is repeated frequently, surgery may be necessary. ...

Shoulder Prosthesis

The shoulder prosthesis is the replacement of the joint by a plastic part by surgery, where it is indicated that the shoulder joint is seriously damaged by osteoarthritis. With this technique a reduction of pain and restoration of mobility is achieved. In the shoulder prosthesis a metal part to the humeral head and a piece of polyethylene shoulder blade, both sealed with cement or embedded is set. There is also the reverse shoulder prosthesis, aimed at patients aged 60 years, who returned shoulder mobility. In the inverted, in place of the humeral head is placed the receiver and where the receiver should be, the humeral head is placed. These prostheses are indicated in the massive rupture of tendons, beyond repair, which is associated with certain joint osteoarthritis. ...

Shoulder Tendinitis

Tendinitis means inflammation of a tendon, in which micro cracks and areas of necrosis. The shoulder tendinitis can affect especially the long head of the brachial biceps and muscles called the rotator cuff: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. The main causes of this injury include age, repetitive in certain work activities or throwing sports movement, and poor blood supply to the tendons of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles, a fact that favors degenerative processes. Symptoms of shoulder tendinitis are inflammatory pain, the pressure on the tendon, pain in performing active movements of the shoulder and pain upon stretching the muscle tendon. The appropriate treatment for shoulder tendonitis is physiotherapy. ...

SLAP Shoulder

It is an injury to a shoulder area known as the Glenoid Labrum or impeller, and the name is an acronym for its acronym in English: S uperior L abrum from A to P osterior nterior (SLAP).

Ulnar nerve entrapment

Understanding the elbow nerve it is known as cubital tunnel syndrome. It is the erosion of a nerve (ulnar), which travels from the neck to the hand and who is responsible for the function of different hand muscles and sensation in the ring and little fingers. When the ulnar nerve is compressed produces what we call ulnar nerve compression or entrapment of the ulnar nerve. The patient has pain, tingling, numbness or burning, and sometimes, reduction or exaggeration of feeling in some fingers and medial edge of the forearm. Symptoms worsen to keep bending the elbow.
