ligament can wear down tremendously that without having the surgery‚ the layer’s career can presumably be declared over. During the surgery‚ a tendon from another area of the patient’s body is removed (usually from the non-throwing arm) and put in the place of the damaged elbow ligament. The tendon is surgically attached similar to a figure eight pattern. The tendon must then learn to function as a ligament and generally requires about twelve to sixteen months of rest and rehabilitation before the athlete

Make no mistake about it‚ but some athletes never return from injuries similar to the one as Adrian Peterson’s ACL tear. If someone would have said that Peterson would be up for the 2012 MVP‚ everyone would have just laughed. Everyone but Peterson himself would have told you that it is impossible for him to be a contender.

and (b) tendon and an aponeurosis. (a.) In direct or fleshy attachments‚ the epimysium of the muscle is fused to the periosteum of a bone or perichondrium of a cartilage. In indirect attachments‚ the muscle’s connective tissue wrappings extend beyond the muscle either as a ropelike tendon or as a sheet like aponeurosis. The tendon or aponeurosis anchors the muscle to the connective tissue covering of a skeletal element (bone or cartilage) or to the fascia of other muscles. (b.) a tendon is a cord

However‚ I’m going to do a research on one of the most common and alarming sports injury which is the injury of the soft tissues.

group of four muscles that work together to stabilize the shoulder while connecting the humerus to the scapula. The four muscles include the Teres minor‚ Infraspinatus‚ Supraspinatus‚ and Subscapularis. A cuff around the humerus is formed from the tendons of these four muscles. While lying below the scapular spine‚ the teres minor and infraspinatus muscles are in charge of externally rotating the shoulder. Teres minor is initiated more when the arm is abducted to 90 degrees while the infraspinatus

injuries. The most common two shoulder injuries include rotator cuff tear‚ and shoulder separation. A rotator cuff connects the humerus to the scapula‚ the tendons attach the muscle to the bones‚ and the muscle move the bones by pulling on the tendons. It helps raise and rotate the arm. Constant strain on the rotator cuff tendons‚ cause them to wear thin and develop tears over time. The causes of this are over use and repetitive motion or strong force from falling on an out stretched hand and

encountered in jogging athletes. Other terms that have been used to describe this situation are "anterior knee pain"‚ "chondromalacia patella"‚ or "patellofemoral discomfort syndrome (PFPS)". Runner’s knee entails the kneecap‚ quadriceps tendon‚ patellar tendon‚ and also the associated soft tissue which are critical to extension of the knee. Historically‚ "runner’s knee" was attributed to irritation and softening of the cartilage lining around the undersurface from the kneecap ("chondromalacia")
