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 ...

  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...

  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...

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...
