1.1 Overview Of Knee Injury

Knee organ is the largest joint in the human body, specifically in the leg and it is the easiest part of the body to be injured. Knee injuries can be caused by a sudden injury, an overused injury or by an underlying condition. The treatment depends on the cause and type of injury. Early symptoms of knee injury can include pain, swelling, and stiffness. Most people have had a minor knee problem at one time or another. Most of the time, normal body movements do not incur injuries. As a result, knee injuries are common in sports such as soccer, football, and basketball, most of which involve frequent sudden stop movements among athletes.

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) has been studied in many different ways …show more content…

Conservative treatment includes RICE (rest, immobilization, compression bandage and elevate) and pain- killers. Physiotherapy in the form of exercises, electrotherapy modalities, knee braces and sports taping can also aid in recovery. Operative management includes arthroscopic evaluation and specific treatment of individual pathology. Meniscus injuries can result in excruciating pain and locking of the joint. Clinical test can lead to provisional diagnosis of the meniscal injuries. Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) will confirm the diagnosis. Whenever possible, that is, if the tear can be seen through light …show more content…

Extract several features from knee Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) for diagnosis.
3. Design artificial intelligent (AI) system to diagnosis injury type complies with a medical expert opinion.

This comprises a set of potentially useful features that are likely to be visible on knee radiographs and can be represented in a form suitable for machine learning (e.g. as categorical or numerical variables). Although other features such as the presence of sacral fracture are important in diagnosing knee injury, radiographs may not provide sufficient detail. This information is instead more likely to be obtained using a separate CT image analysis component.

It is vital to remember that the methods developed for these tasks must be fully automated if they are to be of use in a computerized anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) for knee injury. Furthermore, since different structures will be analyzed for different visual characteristics, segmentation must be performed before any other analysis can take place. This creates the need for an automated segmentation approach able to handle pathological cases and the complications inherent in magnetic resonance imaging, which will be described in Chapter

The ACL crosses diagonally in the middle of the knee behind the patella and it connects the tibia to the femur. Its function is to prevent the tibia from sliding in front of the femur and to prevent overextension of the knee. The LCL connects the femur to the fibula and its function is to keep the lateral side of the knee stable. RG3’s injury is due to an ACL and LCL tear. The ACL was torn when his foot planted in the field and his knee cut into internal rotation.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament The ACL is a ligament in the outer leg next to the knee. Most anterior cruciate ligament tears require surgery, unless the orthopedic surgeon says otherwise. An ACL tear is the most common injury and in the knee. These injuries are happening more frequently in teenagers now. The ACL can be strengthened to help prevent it from tearing.

Prevention programs The main focus of this paper was base on ACL injuries within young female athletes. As previously mentioned ACL rates have shown an increase over the past 20 years with females being more at risk than males. What is a prevention program? Prevention programs are programs designed to modify or eliminate risk factors in order to reduce injuries (Alentorn-Geli et al., 2009).

The author of "Simplicity," William Zinsser has discovered that writing frequently deals with clutter. He makes it obvious in his essay that writing "fuzz" and clutter can annoy and weary a reader. Zinsser emphasizes that clutter in writing not only frustrates readers but also obscures the intended message. He argues that simplicity is key to effective communication, as it allows ideas to shine through and resonate with the audience. Zinsser provides examples of how "clutter" or “fuzz” is harmful to both the writer and his audience, as well as a resource for messy writing.

Elbow Injuries Tennis Elbow: This injury is called tennis elbow due to the problem being significant for tennis players. Tennis Elbow is caused by the overuse of the arm, forearm and hand muscles. The abrupt or subtle injury off the muscle or tendon area around the outside of the elbow, is a major contributor to the pain that people who have tennis elbow receives. The area where the muscles and tendons of the forearm attaches to the outside of the bony area (lateral epicondyle) is where it is affected. Tennis players mostly receives this injury on their dominant arm but it can occur or either arm.

This kind of injuries treatment mainly calls for strengthening the hips and core region, and listening to the body, knowing when to slow down or stop, one can take over the counter pain medicine.

There are two different options you have after a torn ligament in the knee has occurred, you can undergo surgery or let the ligament heal naturally. Some reasons that you may go the natural route are the following: Partial tears in the ligament, young children with open growth plates, stability is not an issue and not involved in any activities that rely on your ACL daily (Cluett 26). It may be the best option to stay away from surgery if you are not involved in heavy physical activities and take care and rest your leg on its own. How this is done is with rest, ice, compressing and elevation, which is commonly referred to as RICE (Zelman 2). You can rest byy using crutches and laying down to take the weight off the injured leg, and ice should be applied every two hours for twenty minutes at a time while awake.

Understanding the cause of sports injury requires a precise description of the injury mechanism. Over two million anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur worldwide annually, and the greater prevalence for ACL injury in young female athletes is one of the major problems in sports medicine. The most common gender differences are reduced knee and hip flexion when landing, increased knee valgus, internal rotation of the femur and high quadriceps activity unbalanced by the hamstrings in female athletes (Renstrom 2013). The female ACL is smaller in length, cross-sectional area, and volume than the male ACL, even after adjusting for body anthropometry (Shultz 2010). The mechanical and molecular properties of the ACL are likely influenced not only by estrogen but also by the interaction of several sex hormones, secondary messengers, remodeling proteins, and mechanical stresses (Shultz 2010).

Also with even a partial tear the knee will be unstable and unable to bear weight and because the ACL does not repair itself you would have to have surgery to rebuild it. If you do not plan on having ACL surgery you should at least have a doctor look at it to make sure it will be able to hold up to everyday life. Some people also feel it is not necessary to have surgery on and ACL tear but if you have problems for example if it hyperextends all the time you may want to have

In each knee joint, there is two pieces of C-shaped cartilage which lies between the surfaces of the femur and tibia. The lateral side of the meniscus is known ad lateral meniscus while the medial side is known as medial meniscus. The major role of the menisci is to absorb the impact load between the femur and tibia and also to provide some degree of stabilization to

Once the patient was asleep, he started by making a small incision on the kneed and inserting the scope which showed a full picture on the camera screens. One of his tools vacuum sucked all the torn ligament pieces away to make it easier to see the part that needed fixed. I got to see the ACL ligament and the meniscus. The doctor stated that it wasn’t as bad as many cases he had seen. When he was done taking out all the torn parts he left, and the assistant sewed her up, the patient was then taken back to get ready for discharge.
