fractures or ligament injuries require intensive care as well as a substantial amount of time for recovery. Sports horses by very nature have a higher percentage to encounter such injuries. These injuries can become a huge problem not only physically‚ but can also determine the lifespan of the injured horse.

topic=a00420 PCL Injury (Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury) Anatomy of the knee: Two bones meet to form your knee joint: the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). Your kneecap sits in front of the joint to provide some protection. Bones are connected to other bones by ligaments. There are four primary ligaments in your knee. They act like strong‚ supportive ropes that help hold the bones together and keep your knee stable. Collateral Ligaments. These ligaments are found on the medial and lateral
Premium Knee Anterior cruciate ligament Ligament
Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important stabilizer of the tibiofemoral joint. The ACL has a proximal attachment on the posteromedial portion of the lateral condyle of the femur and creates an anterior medial vector to reach its distal attachment at the anteromedial tibia. The anteromedial vector the ACL makes allows it to prevent primarily anterior translation of the tibia on the femur and secondarily tibial rotation subluxation on the femur and both valgus and varus forces

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury HPE 101 February 22‚ 2010 The anterior cruciate ligament‚ or ACL‚ is one of four major knee ligaments. The ACL is critical to knee stability‚ and people who injure their ACL often complain of symptoms of their knee giving-out from under them. Therefore‚ many patients who sustain an ACL tear opt to have surgical treatment of this injury. An ACL tear is most often a sports-related injury. ACL tears can also occur during rough play‚ mover vehicle collisions‚

anterior cruciate ligament injury also referred as an ACL injury “caused by a sudden deceleration or landing maneuver with the leg in a vulnerable 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

These bones are the femur (thigh bone)‚ shinbone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). All of which are connected to other bones by ligaments. The four primary ligaments in the knee are the LCL (lateral collateral ligament)‚ PCL (posterior cruciate ligament)‚ MCL (medial collateral ligament) and the ACL.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four main ligaments in a person’s knee (Nieman). The knee joint contains four ligaments‚ one tendon‚ and some meniscus and cartilage. The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) runs from the femur to the fibula on the inner half of the knee. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) runs from the femur to the tibia on the outer half of the knee. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) crosses behind the ACL. The meniscus and cartilage

The forced motion usually hyperextension and lateral motion which is the lateral motion means stresses the collateral ligament and hyperextension means stresses the anterior capsule.

dislocation happens when power or heavy amount of weight is put on a ligament‚ resulting the ends of two connected bones to detach. Ligaments are flexible bands of fibrous tissue that attach numerous bones and cartilage. Ligaments also bore the bones in a joint together.

vertebrae. In between the bones there are joints that connect these together. A ligament connects bone to support joints. Muscles work by the fibers they contain contracting; this makes the muscle shorten. When the muscle shortens it pulls on the tendon and then on the bone to which it is attached. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Bones in limbs are covered with tissue. Not moving an individual correctly can cause ligaments to sprain.

Not moving an individual correctly can cause stress and injury to the spinal column‚ this can cause ligaments to sprain. this is why individuals should never be dragged when moving them as the joints in their back may over stretch and cause sprained ligaments.
