Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, [1] named after Swedish surgeon Sven Christian Johansson (1880-1959), [2] and Christian Magnus Falsen Sinding-Larsen (1866-1930), [3] a Norwegian physician, is apophysitis of the inferior pole of the patella. It is analogous to Osgood–Schlatter disease which involves the upper margin of the tibia. This ...
Knee of a male with Osgood–Schlatter disease. Osgood–Schlatter disease causes pain in the front lower part of the knee. [9] This is usually at the ligament-bone junction of the patellar ligament and the tibial tuberosity. [10] The tibial tuberosity is a slight elevation of bone on the anterior and proximal portion of the tibia.
In running and jumping movements, extreme contraction of the knee extensors can result in avulsion fractures of the tuberosity apophysis. [3] A cast is all that is required if the fragment is not displaced from its normal position on the tibia. However, if the fracture fragment is displaced, then surgery is necessary to allow for normal ...
Spheroids of human autologous matrix-associated chondrocytes, sold under the brand name Spherox, is a medication used to repair defects to the cartilage in the knee in adults who are experiencing knee pain and problems moving the knee. [1] It is used where the affected area is no larger than 10 cm 2 (1.6 sq in). [1]
Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI, ATC code M09AX02 ()) is a biomedical treatment that repairs damages in articular cartilage.ACI provides pain relief while at the same time slowing down the progression or considerably delaying partial or total joint replacement (knee replacement) surgery.
Articular cartilage, most notably that which is found in the knee joint, is generally characterized by very low friction, high wear resistance, and poor regenerative qualities. It is responsible for much of the compressive resistance and load bearing qualities of the knee joint and, without it, walking is painful to impossible.
A lateral release is a surgical procedure to release tight capsular structures (lateral retinaculum) on the outer aspect (lateral aspect) of the kneecap ().This is usually performed because of knee pain related to the kneecap being pulled over to the outer (lateral) side and not being able to run properly in the centre of the groove of the femur bone as the knee bends and straightens.
Orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation Prepatellar bursitis is an inflammation of the prepatellar bursa at the front of the knee. It is marked by swelling at the knee, which can be tender to the touch and which generally does not restrict the knee's range of motion .
