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...

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...

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....

Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that causes a significant rise in the intraocular pressure (IOP) within the eye and damages the optic nerves, which leads to degradation of the eyesight. Aqueous Humour is a fluid that is produced and drained out of the eye, maintaining a certain amount of pressure within the eye, known as the intraocular pressure (IOP). It nourishes the inner tissues and nerves of the eye by moving through a small space between the iris and the cornea’s innermost surface called the anterior chamber. If this fluid slows down within the chamber and starts accumulating, it also increases the IOP that the nerves and tissues in the eye experience. The rising pressure damages the optic nerves and hinders their light-detecting and signalling functionalities causing severe to complete loss of vision. As the development of glaucoma in the eye is a painless and symptomless process, it is extremely difficult to detect its presence even when it grows s...

From moving metal tools and boxed packages, to providing countrywide towing and on-road assistance, pick-up trucks are a standard choice by both individual and large scales businesses today.

Rosemary oil plays an imperative role in overcoming hormonal imbalances which is one of the fu...

All the muscles and tendons that hold the upper arm bone and the shoulder blade together are collectively known as ‘rotator cuff’. They hold the ball-head of the humerus firmly in the shoulder socket and control some of the rotary movements of the shoulder & contribute to its stability. It generally consists of four categories of muscles, i.e., Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Subscapularis, and Teres minor. ‘Rotator Cuff Injury’ is a general term which defines the different types of injuries a rotator cuff may suffer from. These injuries are quite common, especially in athletes involved in contact sports like basketball, football, volleyball, swimming, etc. where the rotator cuff muscles are used extensively. And although these problems maybe caused due to different reasons, there are some shoulder-related signs which are shared amongst them, such as aching muscles, sudden weakness and restricted overhead movements. Rotator-cuff problems usually occur due to trauma an...
