two menisci (plural of meniscus)-one at the outer edge of the knee and one at the inner edge. The menisci keep your knee steady by balancing your weight across the knee. The menisci of the knee are important load shares and shock absorbers in the joint. A torn meniscus can prevent your knee from working right. There are three types of meniscus tears. Each has its own set of symptoms. With a minor tear‚ you may have slight pain and swelling. This usually goes away in 2 or 3 weeks . A moderate tear

There are three surgical options: Ankle fusion – Ankle fusion involves removing the damaged ankle joint and fusing the talus bone to the tibia to form a stiff ankle. Triple fusion – Triple fusion is the surgical fusion of three joints‚ either as a treatment for arthritis within these joints or as a method of correcting a stiff foot deformity . Ankle replacement – An ankle replacement involves

A joint is a meeting‚ or juncture‚ between two or more bones within the skeletal system. They are classified as synarthrotic‚ amphiarthrotic‚ or diarthrotic‚ based upon how much mobility they provide to that particular part of the body. A synarthrotic joint provides little or no movement‚ whatsoever. The suture lines

The acromioclavicular joint is a synovial joint located superior to the GH joint and consists of the junction between the acromion and the clavicle. The sternoclavicular joint is a synovial saddle joint between the manubrium of the sternum and the clavicle

complex of joints of the lower rear limb of the horse. It is composed of six bones (tarsal bones) that comprise four different joints. The uppermost or most proximal joint (tarsocrural) has the widest range of motion. The other three joints are less mobile (low motion joints) but do experience torsional forces that affect the overall health of the hock. Bone spavin usually affects the two most distal lower joints of the hock [distal intertarsal (DIT) and tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints]. What

Bursitis Bursitis is a disorder that causes pain in the body’s joints. It most commonly affects the shoulder and hip joints. It is caused by an inflammation of the bursa‚ small fluid-filled bags that act as lubricating surfaces for muscles to move over bones. This inflammation usually results from overactivity of an arm or leg. What is bursitis? Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. A bursa (the plural form is bursae) is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce

Muscles are attached to bones via tendons for example‚ the distal biceps tendon attaches the bicep muscle to both forearm bones (radius and ulna); while ligaments holds different bones together at a joint‚ for example ligaments hold the femur and the tibia bones together at the knee joint.
