can occur. A common injury that occurs during a lacrosse game is tearing your ACL. ACL stands for anterior cruciate ligament. ACL is one of the four main ligaments you have in your knee. While playing lacrosse‚ you tend to make very quick movements‚ which can cause this tear to happen. Without this ligament‚ your knee will be unstable and surgery is essential. ACL tears in athletes happen far too often. The long recovery process is what motivates athletes to become a better player when they get back

Texas Tech Medical Center and a team physician for Texas Tech‚ female rabbits were subjected to different levels of estrogen to test for laxity in the knee joint. The ACL load failure rate was measured to be higher in those rabbits that received the estrogen supplements. This supported the hypothesis that females have increased laxity in their knee joints due to increased estrogen levels. The study further concluded that estrogen might play a factor in weakening the strength of the ACL in women. In

Whenever an alternative surgical approach was considered over a standard approach the rate of the adverse complications should be given serious consideration. The component alignment is one of the most important factors for long term survival of implant and good functional knee scores. There were many studies comparing clinical and functional outcomes between medial

position” tearing the anterior cruciate ligament. There are three major bones that meet to form your knee joint known as the femur (thighbone)‚ tibia (shinbone)‚ and kneecap (patella). These bones are then connected to each other by ligaments that act as strong ropes in order to hold the bones together and stabilize the knee. One of these ligaments is the anterior cruciate that is located in the middle of the knee in the form of a “X” in front of the posterior cruciate ligament in the back. The role of the

A tibial plateau fracture is a break in the bone that forms the bottom of your knee joint (tibia or shinbone). The lower end of your thighbone (femur) forms the upper surface of your knee joint. The top of the tibia has a flat‚ smooth surface (tibial plateau). This part of your shinbone is made up of softer bone than the shaft of your shinbone. If a strong force drives your femur down into your tibial plateau‚ it can cause the tibial plateau to collapse or break away at the edges. A displaced tibial
