About 30 percent of the body's proteins are collagen, a molecule found in skin, cartilage, and connective tissues. As we age, collagen production decreases and this has consequences for our body, which is why experts recommend including it in the diet. Although collagen is fundamentally known as a component of creams and cosmetic products th...
During , the damaged bone and cartilage are covered with metal and plastic components. In a unicompartmental knee replacement (also called a “partial” knee replacement), only part of the knee is covered. This procedure is an alternative to total knee replacement for patients whose disease is limited to just one area of ...
What is Patellar Instability or Patellar Dislocation? The patella, formerly known as the kneecap, is the front bone of the knee, responsible for transmitting the strength of the thigh muscles. In some situations, this bone can move out of its normal location, called patellar instability or patellar dislocation, explains t...
Hip wear (hip arthrosis) is a very frequent and limiting problem. It is the aging of articular cartilage that is responsible for free joint movement and pain-free. When the cartilage is worn out, the hip joint can no longer move freely and bear load, causing pain and movement rest...
Repetitive strain or motion is often the cause of tendonitis. We explain how this injury alerts you to be taken seriously because it could become chronic. Muscles are attached to bones by long, fibrous structures called tendons, which are responsible for transmitting the necessary force from the muscle to the bone to generate movement. When a...
