Joint dislocation

Injury is a big part of every sport. Many times with injuries, the important thing is not what happens, but how the athlete responds to it. The more proactive with getting treatments and the more determined the person is, the less the injury matters. I have a history of shoulder problems, but it never held me back from playing. Since I had a manageable injury, I was able to continue playing the football with the right help. When I first started playing football, in 8th grade, I dislocated my shoulder for the first time. Little did I know that when my shoulder dislocated, it stretched part of my labrum. The labrum is the socket that holds the ball of the shoulder and keeps it secure. After stretching it that first time, it only made it more susceptible to happen again. As a three sport athlete in highschool, I had no offseason to let my injury heal. In return, my shoulder would dislocate more often, and during other sporting events. Over the first half of my high school athletic career, I ended up tearing my labrum along with two other ligaments. By the time my junior year football season rolled around, my shoulder would dislocate up to three times a game. Junior year was the biggest year of my life in several aspects, but especially in football. This was the year where I solidified my position as a captain of my team and an impact player in my area. There was a lot of hype behind my team and I; there was no way I was sitting out due to an injury. Every game my trainer would…

Everyone has that one thing in life they enjoy doing. For me that is spending time with my horse, Sparkle. I could spend hours with her every day. I look at Sparkle as my best friend more than I look at her as a horse. So, the day I jumped on her bareback I thought nothing of it. Sometimes even simple decision like that are the ones that you have to pay for. What I find important is that you are always learning from those decisions. Even today I am still learning from that decision even if it…

resistivity were measured by the Hall measurement set up (Ecopia – HMS 3000) at RT in van der Pauw configuration. The optical transmittance was obtained using a Perkin Elmer make (Model: Lambda-35) spectrophotometer in the wavelength ranging from 200 nm to 900 nm. 3. Results and discussion 3.1 X-ray diffraction The XRD patterns obtained from CdO: Cr thin films deposited on glass substrates are comparatively shown in Fig. 1 as a function of Cr- doping concentrations. All the deposited films…

Elbow dislocation -When any of the various elbow surfaces are separated or moved out of their original place an Elbow dislocation occur. - Elbow dislocations are the second most commonly dislocated in adults next to shoulders. They are the most commonly dislocation in children. -The greatest causes and events that can cause an elbow dislocation are falling, outstretching the hand so that the force sent through the arm can dislocate the elbow when hitting the floor. Traumatic injuries that…

Glenohumeral joint dislocations are injuries involved with damaged ligaments, fractures and neurovascular damage (Cunningham, 2012). The anterior dislocation, also known as the “subcoracoid dislocation” is when the humeral head (shoulder head) lies anterior and medial to the glenoid cavity (the fossa the humeral head articulates with). With this movement of the bone it causes pain, instability and restricts the joint. Static and dynamic forces prevent this joint from relocating (Cunningham,…

The sports injury that we’ll be talking about is joint dislocation. We will be investigating into two types of joint dislocations, shoulder and knee, whilst comparing the similarities and differences between the two injuries. The shoulder joint is actually one of the most ambulatory, meaning, it is a commonly dislocated joint in the body. Shoulder dislocations usually entail the head of the humerus being forcibly removed from its cup-shaped socket in the glenoid fossa. In simple terms, the…

Movement: -The positioning of the bones forming the elbow joint produce the hinge synovial joint. This allows the elbow to make extensions and flexion. The extension involves the Triceps brachii and anconeus (the continuation of the tricep brachii). Flexion is involving the; Brachialis, biceps brachii, and brachioradialis. - The bending of a joint part so that the angle decreases and the two parts come closer together, it called Flexion. The straitening of a joint increasing the two parts to…

the anterior ankle joint causing impingement and pain with active range of motion. The left ankle fracture is well healed by x-ray evaluation. The most likely diagnosis is post-traumatic osteoarthritis after an open fracture dislocation of the left ankle 20 years ago. In a fracture dislocation of the ankle, the exposed cartilage can be disrupted and lead to osteoarthritis. In this case osteophytes formed, causing ankle impingement and pain. The less likely diagnoses are tendonitis, gout or…

Injury, illness or congenital defect can cause hip pain. Pain in this joint can be debilitating and interfere with activities of daily living essential to quality of life. Here is an overview of the joint, causes of problems and types of hip pain treatment. Basic Anatomy The hip joint is a major joint. It is classified as a ball-and-socket joint. The top of the femur (thigh bone) is rounded and fits into a socket in the pelvis. The proper name for the pelvic bone in question is acetabulum.…

It is possible to dislocate the bones within the midfoot joint complex (aka Lisfranc joint) of the foot: This joint complex consists of the ligaments and bones that connect the forefoot to the midfoot. Lisfranc injuries include strains and tears to the ligament itself in addition to bone dislocations and fractures. The Role of the Midfoot As an individual walks, the midfoot is responsible for transferring the forces that the calf muscles generate to the front of the foot. Furthermore, the…
