The objective of this paper is: (a) to present a rating scale for the evaluation of the musculoskeletal stress markers; (b) to analyze the medieval population from Cedynia in terms of the degree of expression and frequency of the musculoskeletal stress markers. The presented rating scale was developed based on the variability of the morphology of muscle attachment sites, observed in the skeleta...

BACKGROUND Impulsive forces in the knee joint have been suspected to be a co-factor in the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis. We thus evaluated the impulsive sagittal ground reaction forces (iGRF), shock waves and lower extremity joint kinematics at heel strike during walking in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients and compared them to those in healthy subjects. SUBJECTS AND MET...

Patella: accounts for 1% of all fractures, most common in ages 20-50 Femoral condyles: these usually fracture when the knee is stressed. Tibial eminence: caused by accidents, such as a blow to the proximal tibia when the knee is flexed, or if the knee is hyperextended during an accident. Usually seen in patients aged 8-14. Tibial tuberosity: more common in men than in women, and in younger pati...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to quantify the meniscal root anatomy of the New Zealand white rabbit to better understand this animal model for future in vitro and in vivo joint degeneration studies. METHODS Ten non-paired fresh frozen New Zealand white rabbit knee stifle joints were carefully disarticulated for this study. Measurements were made for all bony landmarks and ligamento...

Rupture of the extensor mechanism knee joints is rare in patients without any systemic disease. Many reports have described tendons getting ruptured at various sites mechanism. We report a case patellar tendon avulsion from tibial tuberosity on right side and quadriceps patella left sustained one accident. A 54 years old man presented with above non-identical bilateral rupture who had no pre-ex...

Genu recurvatum is characterized as an hyperextension deformity of the knee in sagittal plane and can be associated to structured equinus ankle foot. Amongst its causes are conditions like arthrogryposis, cerebral palsy, tibial tuberosity arrest, poliomyelitis syndromes with generalized ligamentous hyperlaxity. The treatment this condition challenging, specially when foot and, date, aggressive ...

Objectives: The quadriceps angle (Q-angle) measures the force vector of pull extensor mechanism knee. A larger Q-angle is thought to be a predisposing factor for patellar dislocation, but previous literature has reported poor reliability and validity clinically measured Q-Angle. In response reliability, new “Standard Q-Angle” (SQA) was developed by Merchant et al. (Merchant 2020) in an attempt ...
