would play all season‚ and everyone was excited to test their skills against a tough opponent. However‚ I had a problem. I was carrying a knee injury that I had picked up in a game earlier in the season. Sometimes‚ my knee made it difficult to run‚ let alone play a game of high intensity rugby. However‚ I had been picked for the game‚ and I wasn’t going to let an injury stop me in a game as important as this.

Introduction The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body. The knee joins the femur to the tibia. The smaller bone that runs alongside the tibia is the fibula. The patella‚ also known as the knee-cap‚ is another one that makes up the knee joint. I decided to discuss this joint structure because of reoccurring knee injuries. The Knee Joint The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The fibula

Anatomy of Knee The knee is composed of 4 bones: the femur‚ tibia‚ fibula and patella. Every one of these bones are practical in the knee joint‚ aside from the fibula. The patellar tendon elongates from the inferior pole of the patella‚ as an extension of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle to the tibial tuberosity. The role of the patella tendon is to transfer the force of the quadriceps muscles‚ much like a rope around a pulley‚ as your knee straightens. (John Miller‚ 2015) Definition

Reconstructing a Cow’s Knee Lab Objective: To learn the function of the knee and how its ligaments work to create the movement the knee makes by taking apart the knee and reconstructing it with different materials to replace the ligaments. Hypothesis: If we replace the cow’s knee tendons with rubber bands then it will work like a new knee because the rubber bands will provide the support‚ strength‚ and flexibility it needs. Safety: Wear gloves while handling the knee‚ use precaution when using

P3/M2/D1 Ligament injuries The dictionary definition of a ligament is ‘’ A short band of tough‚ flexible‚ fibrous connective tissue that connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.’’ This basically means a ligament is a connective tissue that unlike a tendon which connects muscle to bone a ligament connects bone and also stabilised a joint. When someone damages a ligament it’s called a sprain. An example of a ligament injury is an ACL injury (Anterior cruciate ligament injury). This type

KNEE ARTHROSCOPY Procedure Steps: 1. The surgeon marks the anteromedial and anterolateral joint lines and portal positions with a skin marker. 2. The skin areas for portal placement are infiltrated with local epinephrine. If the knee has an effusion‚ the surgeon aspirates it with a 16-gauge needle on a 60ml syringe‚ followed by injection of a small amount of distending fluid. 3. After a small stab incision with a #11 or #15 knife blade‚ the surgeon inserts the irrigation cannula and trocar
