Biomechanical consequences of a tear of the posterior root of the medial meniscus. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Tears of the posterior root of the medial meniscus are becoming increasingly recognized. They can cause rapidly progressive arthritis, yet their biomechanical effects are not understood. The goal of this study was to determine the ... Read more...

Morphologic variations of the fibular malleolar groove with recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: The shallow malleolar groove of the fibula is believed to be one of the important causes of dislocation of the peroneal tendons. However, no studies have investigated the morphological differences between patients with and without ... Read more...

[Observation on therapeutic effect of bee needle therapy on chronic lumbar muscle strain]

30 Mar 2009 OBJECTIVE: To explore a new method for treatment of chronic lumbar muscle strain. METHODS: One hundred and fifty cases were randomly divided into 2 groups, an observation group of 78 cases and a control group of 72 cases. The observation group was ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Sprains and Strains'

Definition: A collective term for muscle and ligament injuries without dislocation or fracture. A sprain is a joint injury in which some of the fibers of a supporting ligament are ruptured but the continuity of the ligament remains intact. A strain is an overstretching or overexertion of some part of the musculature.

Descriptor UI: D013180
