Orthopedic Treatment For Baker’s Cyst
A fluid-filled cyst or small sac that forms behind the knee joint is referred to as the Baker’s Cyst. It is also named as Popliteal Cyst. This condition occurs when the joint functioning is hampered due to an internal cause such as damage to the soft tissue structures, Arthritis etc. Such conditions provoke excessive synovial fluid development within the joint which tends to get stored in a soft tissue sac resulting in the formation of a cyst. In normal conditions, the synovial fluid helps to reduce friction between the constituent bones and makes it feasible for us to flex,...
Congenital Vertical Talus
Vertical Talus is a foot deformity that occurs at the time of birth. It is a rare condition that affects the talus, a small bone that is placed between the lower leg bones (fibula and tibia) and the calcaneus (heel bone) to form the ankle joint. This bone acts an important node between the foot and the leg that enables transfer of body weight on to the foot while walking and other physical activities. Congenital Vertical Talus disrupts the formation of the talus bone which in turn displaces the other two bones of the lower leg that then shift on top of the talus. Either one or...
Wrist Dislocation
The wrist joint connects the two bones of the forearm (ulnar and radius) to the smaller bones of the hand. There are eight carpal bones in the hand which are held together and connected to the other bones by ligaments. The eight carpal bones that form the wrist joint are named as the Capitate, Trapezoid, Hamate, Pisiform, Trapezium, Lunate, Scaphoid and Triquetrum. Displacement of any of these bones may result in Wrist Dislocation. The condition may also be accompanied by ligament and nerve damage. Causes Fall on an outstretched hand Sports injuries Vehicular accidents...
PCL Injury
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a tough tissue structure with a high tensile strength that essentially controls the positioning of the tibia and the femur. Besides connecting the bones, it stabilizes the knee joint while it rotates in different directions. Any tear or stress in this ligament is termed as PCL injury. It is not common condition and generally occurs in combination with other ligament injuries and cartilage damages. PCL injury can vary in degree from a mild stretch to complete tear of the ligament, with a piece of the bone being dethatched along with the...
