Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury commonly results from a fall from height with the knee in flexion and the body rotating on the stationary foot. This results in abnormal internal rotation of it tibia. Similarly, hyper flexion or hyperextension with internal rotation of the tibia can also produce it. Mechanism of injury: Anterior Cruciate Ligament …
Introduction: Charcot Knee is the chronic, progressive, non-infectious destruction of bone and joints, in patients with peripheral neuropathy, as first described by William Musgrave in 1703 . Charcot neuroarthropathy of the knee (CK) is a rare and under-researched area, resulting in considerable morbidity. However, it is a common foot and ankle related pathology, especially in …
Introduction Pes cavus, commonly known as high arches. These deformities of the ankle and foot present in various degrees, from mild to severe. Mild deformities are easily stretchable needing rigid immobilization in a corrected position. Severe ones are rigid. Many a times, these deformities are present in combination. In about 50% of the cases, they …
Introduction Kyphosis, often perceived as solely a spinal issue, significantly impacts overall posture and movement patterns. The compensatory mechanisms adopted by the body to maintain balance in the presence of kyphosis can place abnormal stresses on various joints, particularly the hips, leading to pain, dysfunction, and even injury. Etiology The primary cause is the altered …
Introduction Spina Bifida is a birth defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don’t form properly. It falls under the umbrella of neural tube defects (NTDs), which are conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord or spine. Definition Spina bifida, a neural tube defect, is the result of the defective fusion of one or …
Introduction Cauda Equina Syndrome is seen in injuries below the level of first lumbar vertebra. It is essentially an injury to the nerve roots below L1. Compression of these nerves can lead to permanent damage if not promptly treated, making CES a true aesculapian emergency. Etiology Cauda Equina Syndrome most commonly arises from a massive …
Introduction Tuberculosis of the Hip Joint constitutes 15 percent of all osteoarticular tuberculosis. It is always secondary. The initial focus of infection could be either in the: (i) acetabular roof, (ii) epiphysis, (iii) metaphyseal region, (iv) greater trochanter, (v) synovial membrane (rare), and (vi) trochanteric bursae Pathogenesis Etiology TB bacillus is may responsible for TB …
Introduction Compression Fractures is produced as a result of compressive forces on the bone. The bony mass gets compressed within itself. It is ungentlemanly in cancellous bones (e.g., vertebral body). Compression fractures of the spine are a common yet often impairing condition. Clinical Features Investigation Physiotherapy Management Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in recovery. Risk …
Post Burn Rehabilitation is a crucial phase in the recovery of a burn survivor, focusing on restoring function, minimizing deformity, managing pain, and supporting psychological healing.
