Knee Plica syndrome is an infirmity generated by inflammation in the wall of the knee joint. It ends in achy knee pain which grows more critical with movement, especially up and downstairs, a sense of instability in the knee and occasionally catching or fastening sensation. Plicae are small pleats in the synovial membrane, the thin formation that encompasses and lines the knee joint. Plica syndrome, aka plica synovialis, can occur in any of the four-knee plica, the most popular being in the middle plica. Knee plica irritation occurs when the plica gets caught or pinched between the knee bones, usually due to a knee injury or from overuse. Here we watch at how plica synovialis begins, the causes and symptoms, and eventually look at the different therapy options for knee plica syndrome. Role Of The Knee Plica Knee plica are natural folds in the synovial membrane of the knee, a thin, fluid-filled enclosure that encases the joint, like a bag. Throughout the first trimester of fet

Our backbone is the combination of several vertebrae (individual bone in the flexible column) placed one over the other and connected by small joints to form an elongated structure which we call as the spine. The vertebrae are separated by intervertebral discs. A disc is a cushioning structure between the individual bones of the spine, (called vertebra). The discs may be thought of as spinal shock absorbers, for they absorb the load of the body and also helps in the movement. The spine is divided into 5 sub-sections with a total of 33 discs - Cervical (the neck region with 7 discs), Thoracic (the middle back region with 12 discs), Lumbar (the lower back region with 5 discs), Sacral (bottom of the spine with 5 discs) and Coccygeal (Fused together in one to form the tail bone-4 discs). There are many types of spine problems that may lead to severe backache with radiating pain. Degenerative disc disease is one type of ailment leading to such back pain and is prompted by wearing a

Lateral release knee surgery is performed to manage patella malt racking induced by tightness in the construction on the outside side of the kneecap. This tightness can extract the kneecap out of its natural resting position and make it to sit at an angle, both of which can create anterior knee pain and weakness. What Happens In Lateral Release Knee Surgery? Lateral release operation comprises releasing the tight retinaculum on the outer side of the kneecap. This helps to realign the patella so it lies in the center of its depression which allows it to move easily, and relieves pain and stiffness. Lateral release knee surgery is provided out arthroscopically, known more generally as keyhole surgery, and is normally conducted under general anesthesia. Small cuts are made around the knee through which a camera and surgical tools are inserted into the joint. The fixed structures of the lateral retinaculum are rescued by cutting through the connective tissue. The surgeon must be

Knee replacement surgery isn’t a new term in medical science. It is the growing common term with the issues mainly found in elderly people than the younger group. The knee is one of the most common joints of the human body that suffer from wear and tear. Though injuries are often culprit, simply daily use of the knees can often lead to a need for surgery. With the increasing awareness of this surgery among people, the total number of surgeries is increasing year by year. Over the years when people refused to take such surgeries because of fear of pain and lack of knowledge about the procedure, medical science proves this technique successfully positive and due to this people got confidence in these techniques. Knee surgery is not always the basic treatment which is recommended for knee issues, there are more basic treatments usually recommended by the doctor at first, but if they do not provide any result, surgery may be the only and best option.
