Introduction Robotic knee replacement surgery has emerged as a groundbreaking advancement in the field of medical science. This innovative procedure combines the precision of robotics with the expertise of orthopedic surgeons to provide patients with improved outcomes and faster recovery times. In...
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...
THE KNEE JOINT Joints are the areas where bones meet, and movement occurs. The knee joint is made up of the femur above and the tibia below. The two bones are separated by cartilage that acts as a cushion and allows movement. REASONS FOR SURGERY The reasons for are: severe...
Every athlete who suffers from hip pain usually faces a very similar journey: when the first symptoms appear, they start conservative treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers. When the pain improves a little, they try to return to activity. After a little while, they are in pain again. But when drug treatment no longer has any effe...
Knee replacement surgery, also known as "knee arthroplasty," can help relieve pain and restore function to severely diseased knee joints. This procedure involves cutting out damaged bone and cartilage from the femur, tibia, and patella, and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, premium plastics, and polymers....
What is patellar tendinitis? One of the most common knee tendinitis or knee tendinopathies are those that result from inflammation of the patellar tendon. The patellar tendon attaches proximally to the lower pole of the kneecap (or patella). This sesa...
