Osteoarthritis
Fractures
Fractures are breaks in bones caused by trauma, overuse, or medical conditions like osteoporosis. They can range from simple, clean breaks to complex ones with multiple fragments. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and inability to move the affected area. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination and imaging, such as X-rays. Treatment varies from immobilization with casts or splints to surgical intervention, depending on the fracture’s type and severity.
Herniated Discs
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon, often due to overuse or repetitive motion. Commonly affected areas include the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and tenderness around the affected joint. Diagnosis is typically based on physical examination and patient history. Treatment involves rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and, in severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery to relieve symptoms and promote healing.
ACL
The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is crucial for knee stability, connecting the femur to the tibia. It prevents the tibia from moving too far forward and provides rotational stability. ACL injuries are common in sports that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction, leading to pain and instability. Treatment options include physical therapy and, in severe cases, surgery to reconstruct the ligament and restore knee function.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries are physical injuries sustained during athletic activities, ranging from minor sprains and strains to severe fractures and ligament tears. Common injuries include ACL tears, sprained ankles, tendonitis, and concussions. Symptoms vary based on the injury but often involve pain, swelling, and limited movement. Treatment depends on the severity and may include rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), physical therapy, medication, or surgery. Prevention focuses on proper training, equipment, and techniques.
