An Overview Of Knee Joint Preservation Techniques

Joint Preservation As opposed to joint replacement surgery, joint preservation techniques focus on retaining the natural bone and soft tissues of a joint while restoring its functions surgically or non-surgically. It is most commonly recommended for the knee, hip, and shoulder joints, which are more prone to cartilage or ligament damage.  The knee joint’s articular cartilage generally wears out as we age. It is also highly prone to arthritic conditions, accidental injuries, and sports injuries that lead to a limited range of motion, stiffness, and varying pain. Since this cartilage cannot regenerate, knee joint replacement has always been considered the traditional approach to treat its symptoms. But with the modern joint preservation surgery in Mumbai , our orthopedic surgeon can help avoid replacing the natural bone by stimulating new cartilage growth and stabilizing the surrounding tissue structures. Techniques used in knee joint preservation Non-surgical techniques ...

What Is A Tennis Elbow?

Image
  Anatomy Our elbow joint holds the upper arm bone (humerus) and the two forearm bones (radius & ulna) together with several bands of muscles and tendons.  Many of these muscle bands start from the bony bumps at the end of the humerus, known as epicondyles, and extend further towards the wrist and fingers. Now, the tendons that connect the muscle bands from the bony bump on the lateral side (outside edge) experience pressure when we use our wrists and fingers to grip or grab something with force. The tennis elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis is a condition that indicates inflammation or tears of these tendons and muscles. Note that its incidences are not limited to tennis players, and it can occur in anyone who uses their grip persistently. However, the name remains accurate as tennis players mostly seek tennis elbow treatment in Mumbai. S ymptoms Of Tennis Elbow ●         Sharp pain in the outer edge of the elbow that worsens with...

Treating Hip Labral Tears

Image
  Essentially, the hip labrum is the circular cartilage tissue over the outer surface of the hip bone sockets and the ball-like heads of the thighbones. It maintains a strong and flexible cushioning for this ball-and-socket joint while allowing a significant range of motion. As it rims around the joint, it locks the joint fluids within the joint capsule and helps align the bones when pivoting or sprinting.   Despite its flexibility, the labral cartilage can get strained due to overuse or extensive stress and develop a tear. Though mild hip labral tears can be managed nonsurgically, severe tears may require you to undergo an arthroscopy in Mumbai. What Causes Hip Labral Tears? Such tears are more common in athletes involved in running and pivoting sports, like football, hockey, cricket, golf, etc., where the labrum is continually strained and overused. Other causes of hip labral tears may include: Hip Impingement: In this condition, either of the joint bones develop e...

3 Essential Types Of Ankle Injuries And Their Treatments

Image
  All musculoskeletal joints in our body develop to offer a limited range of motion and rotation at their junctions. The ankle joint is one such junction of the tibia, fibula, and talus bones where two sets of ligaments limit its flexion and extension motion when walking, sprinting, or jumping. Any extensive movements of the foot directly impact these ankle bones and ligaments and cause ankle injuries. Though they are more common in athletes, ankle injuries can occur in anyone who suffers from a fall or an accident, or even due to age-related overuse. The term ‘ankle injuries,’ however, can be considered an umbrella term for three essential types of damages that ankle bones and tissues can sustain.  How To Differentiate Between Different Types Of Ankle Injuries? All mild to moderate ankle injuries show similar signs and symptoms, such as pain, swelling, and bruising. Hence, one can easily misjudge their ankle’s condition and opt for the wrong ankle treatment options. It is cr...

Causes, Diagnosis & Treatments For TFCC Injuries Of The Wrist

Image
  The Anatomy Of TFCC: The Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) is a long ligament structure placed along the little finger’s outer edge, passing over the carpel bones and connecting to the radius and ulna bones at the wrist joint. It collectively comprises the triangular fibrocartilage disc (TFC), extensor carpi ulnaris tendon subsheath, ulnotriquetral and ulnolunate ligaments, dorsal and volar distal radioulnar ligaments, the ulnocarpal collateral ligament, and meniscal homolog. The TFC has some blood vessels on the ulnar aspect, while the rest of the structure is avascular. The meniscal homolog is mostly composed of various loose connective tissues. Typically, it acts as a stabilizer for the ulnar aspect of the wrist and enables load transmission while rotating or gripping the wrist. What Are TFCC injuries? Ulnar-sided wrist injuries or tears are directly or indirectly associated with TFCC injuries. As TFCC comprises multiple ligaments, any excess tension or impact w...

Treating Dislocated Elbow - With Its Causes & Symptoms

Image
  The Anatomy Of Elbow: The elbow is a synovial joint that holds the bottom of the humerus bone and the head of the radius and ulna bones in two types of structures, i.e., a ball-socket junction and a hinged junction. Each of these bones has a distinct shape and forms a couple joint with the other two bones. The ball-socket junction allows the elbow to rotate along the humerus bone axis with the palm faced up and down, known as supination and pronation, while the hinge junction enables the arm to bend and extend at the elbow allowing flexion and extension movements. Various types of ligaments and tendons surround the elbow joint to hold the bones in place and contract or relax according to the pressure exerted on the joint. What Is A Dislocated Elbow? Since the bones are only held together by ligaments and aren’t hooked or fixed to each other, there are chances of them moving out of their joint position under extreme force. And when any of the three bones move out of thei...

Understanding Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Tears

Image
  What Is The TFCC? The Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) is a collective structure made up of the triangular fibrocartilage disc (TFC), the radioulnar ligaments (RULs), and the ulnocarpal ligaments (UCLs) that cushion and support the carpal bones in the wrist. It is located along the side of the little finger, passing over the carpel bones and connecting to the radius and ulna bones. It stabilizes the wrist at the distal radioulnar joint and enables load transmission while rotating or gripping the wrist. It creates a sturdy yet flexible joint between the ulna and the radius bones towards the wrist end, allowing proper forearm rotation. Since it is made up of elastic ligaments, any excess tension or impact force can cause the TFCC to sprain or tear. Common Causes Of TFCC Tears: TFFC tears are common wrist injuries in people who excessively use their wrists. Typically, falling hard with an outstretched hand and backward wrist is most likely to damage the TFCC ligaments. Gymn...

4 Common Basketball Injuries And How To Treat Them

Image
Basketball is an excellent sport for kids and adults to develop physical strength and improve mental focus. It utilizes almost every muscle of your body and mind to build your movement strategies on the spot. But with your mind so invested in the game, some unfortunate injuries are only natural. Basketball players extensively use their legs for making complex turns and twists. Which is why most of their injuries are leg-related. Apart from this, they also prone to falling and impact injuries that usually occur in ball games. Some of the most common types of these injuries may include the following:   Patellar Tendonitis: It is a common knee condition that is caused due to a strain or a tear to the patellar tendon, which runs through the kneecap and connects to the shin bone. This tendon is mainly responsible for stabilizing the knee while kicking, running, or jumping, hence, its injury is often referred to as the ‘jumper’s knee.’ In most cases, it is caused by regular wear an...

The Elbow Joint - Brief Anatomy & Common Injuries

Image
Anatomy Of The Elbow: The elbow joint is the most used hinge joint by athletes or anyone in general. It comprises of three different hinge and pivot joints made by the three arm bones with each other at the elbow junction. These three joints are namely: Ulnohumeral joint : where the bottom of the humerus connects to the top of the ulna Radio-humeral joint : where the bottom of the humerus connects with the top of the radius bone Proximal radioulnar joint : where the top of the radius and ulna bones connect Being a synovial joint, these individual joints are supported by watertight sacs called synovial capsules and synovial bursae that lubricate and cushion these joints as the elbow moves. The hinge joints allow bending and lateral stretching of the arm, while the pivot joints allow the lower arm to twist and rotate. These joints are firmly held by thick Medial and Lateral ligaments on the inside and outside along with Annular ligaments that form a ring around the...

Understanding Shoulder Arthroscopy Treatment

Image
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) which is derived from endoscopy and can be used for diagnosing and treating skeletal joints that have suffered damage from multiple conditions. Similarly, shoulder arthroscopy is an MIS procedure developed for treating the shoulder joint, which has suffered an injury or developed a systemic disorder. When is shoulder arthroscopy needed? Shoulder arthroscopy is typically recommended for performing a biopsy on a shoulder to diagnose its condition and to treat shoulder conditions which haven’t improved by other non-surgical treatments. Shoulder arthroscopy is more effective for: ●         Treating inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, synovitis, or tendinitis ●         Treating torn ligaments in rotator cuff caused due to overuse ●         Removing bone fragments and cartilage pieces from a br...

Everything About Ankle Sprains - Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

Image
The ankle joint is a synovial joint forming the junction of the tibia and fibula bones of the leg snugly holding the talus bone of the foot with two sets of ligaments securing its flexion and extension movements. When the ankle is twisted, rolled or turned abruptly and excessively, the two sets of ligaments get over-strained and sprained causing pain and instability thereafter. Moreover, the lateral ligaments are most vulnerable to such injuries which are commonly observed in athletes involved in running-based sports such as football, cricket, hockey, basketball, etc. however, they can occur in any person who accidentally strains the ankle in any direction. Chronic Ankle Instability: An ankle sprain, if not healed in time, can lead to further repeated ankle sprains with severe damage to the ligaments and cartilage bone, and chronic ankle instability. This condition occurs as after spraining, the connective tissues of the ankle are damaged and loosened, affecting its stability....
