Autumn Hollingsworth Knee Injury Case Study Part 5 What are the primary movements of the knee joint? The primary movements of the knee joint are flexion and extension but can also slightly rotate. What muscle groups are the most important in flexion and extension of the knee? The muscle groups most important are the quadriceps and the hamstrings. The quadriceps extend the knee using the following muscles; rectus femoris‚ vastus medialis‚ vastus intermedius‚ and vastus lateralis. The hamstrings

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

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

A cold sweat began to bead at the base of my neck as I urged the muscles in my knee to work their way through the set of squats my physical therapist had asked me to perform. My appointment was scheduled at seven in the morning‚ but already I could feel the adrenaline rushing up and down my spine as I watched the sun rise over the waking city through the large paneled windows of the gym. Sharp pain shot up the inside of my right knee as I slowly lowered myself‚ making it difficult to continue the

Being currently in the military I have mixed reactions when viewing this video. I perform the same role as “Doc” Krebbs did‚ but for the Air Force Reserve. There is a lot to consider when discussing this documentary. It was well constructed in the sense that those interviewed held various positions representing nearly every step of the larger process that is the war. First I would like to discuss the issue of battle itself. Few of our nation’s military actually sees combat‚ it is largely support

Introduction: Short term functional results of modern bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) with 2 independent modern implants showed better results than those of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conserving 2 cruciate ligaments may explain these results but another hypothesis is that independent adjustment of the rotation of patello-femoral and tibio-femoral implants may optimize knee reconstruction. Objectives: The aim of our study was to compare the positioning of BKA implants to those of primary

MRI of the Knee Materials utilized for the procedure KC Hutchins The materials used in the MRI of the knee are surface coils‚ volume coils‚ knee positioning pads‚ sandbags‚ and Gadolinium‚ in the case of a Magnetic Resonance Angiogram. Firstly‚ in some cases‚ a surface coil is used. They are of the simplest design‚ a loop of conducting material. It is used as a transmitter of radiofrequency energy. This receiver coil is placed on the region of interest or the knee‚ in this example‚ for greater

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
