Often there are no symptoms. [2] If symptoms do occur these may include swelling and pain behind the knee, or knee stiffness. [1] If the cyst breaks open, pain may significantly increase with swelling of the calf. [1] Rarely complications such as deep vein thrombosis, peripheral neuropathy, ischemia, or compartment syndrome may occur. [2] [3]
The popliteal fossa (also referred to as hough or kneepit in analogy to the cubital fossa) is a shallow depression located at the back of the knee joint.The bones of the popliteal fossa are the femur and the tibia.
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
The symptoms are pain in the hip region on walking, and tenderness over the upper part of the femur, which may result in the inability to lie in comfort on the affected side. [citation needed] More often the lateral hip pain is caused by disease of the gluteal tendons that secondarily inflames the bursa. This is most common in middle-aged women ...
For instance, sciatica is a common injury that can cause shooting pain in your lower back, hip, and down the back of your leg. The location of your pain can give doctors, physiotherapists, and ...
This results in claudication and chronic leg ischemia. This condition mainly occurs more in young athletes than in the elderlies. [2] Elderlies, who present with similar symptoms, are more likely to be diagnosed with peripheral artery disease with associated atherosclerosis. [2]
the deep infrapatellar bursa between the upper part of the tibia and the patellar ligament. [2] It allows for movement of the patellar ligament over the tibia. [4] the subcutaneous (or superficial) infrapatellar bursa between the patellar ligament and skin. [2] the pretibial bursa between the tibial tuberosity and the skin. [2]
The popliteus muscle in the leg is used for unlocking the knees when walking, by laterally rotating the femur on the tibia during the closed chain portion of the gait cycle (one with the foot in contact with the ground). In open chain movements (when the involved limb is not in contact with the ground), the popliteus muscle medially rotates the ...
