Also called Knee Arthroplasty
Steps: prepare the bone, position metal implants, resurface patella, insert spacer. 
Loss of joint pain is common cause of pain and this surgery. 
Patients are mobile and exercising their knee hours after surgery. 
Will require physiotherapy.

Diagnosis and treatment of this potentially serious condition is complicated and often requires an interdisciplinary team. The main goal in treatment of young female athletes with the triad is a natural return of menses as well as enhancement of bone mineral density. maximizing energy availability and optimizing vitamin D and calcium intake are recommended.]]> 2020-11-26 15:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963752319 Arthroscopy https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963756436 2020-11-26 15:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963756436 Polymyalgia Rheumatica https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963757515  Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder that causes widespread aching, stiffness and flu-like symptoms. It is more common in women than men and is seen more often in Caucasians than other races. It typically develops by age 70 and is rarely seen in people younger than 50. PMR may last from one to five years; however, it varies from person to person. Approximately 15 percent of people with PMR develop a potentially dangerous condition called giant cell arteritis.

Causes

The cause of PMR is uncertain but it is believed to be an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks healthy tissues. Genetic and environmental factors (such as infections) are thought to play important roles. Because it is rare in people under age 50, its cause could be linked to the aging process.

It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. It is most commonly caused by repetitive strain injury to the ligament of the sole of your foot. (eg. excessive running or walking, inadequate foot gear, and jumping injury from landing.)

Joint pain and stiffness worsens with age. It is most common among women as they get older. There are multiple different kinds of arthritis ]]> 2020-11-26 15:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963759014 Ankle sprains https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963759414 There are about 1 million ankle injuries a year and about 85% of them are ankle sprains. Ankle injuries are a result of many different activities such as competitive sports, walking, running etc. The three most common ligaments involved in ankle sprains include the anterior talofibular ligament, posterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular  ligament. ]]> 2020-11-26 15:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963759414 Osgood schlatter syndrome https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963760420 Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition that causes pain and swelling below the knee joint, where the
patellar tendon attaches to the top of the shinbone (tibia), a spot called the tibial tuberosity.
Osgood-Schlatter disease most often occurs during growth spurts, when bones, muscles, tendons, and other structures are changing rapidly. Because physical activity puts additional stress on bones and muscles, children who participate in athletics — especially running and jumping sports  — are at an increased risk for this condition. 
Simple exercises like stretching, strengthening, raising, ice and rest is what is done to heal it.
This syndrome is also know as “knee pain”.

Bursitis occurs when the bursae becomes inflamed. The most common location for busitis are in the shoulder, elbow and hip. To treat it, you need to rest and apply ice. Bursitis is common for adults that are 40 or older. ]]> 2020-11-26 15:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963761183 shoulder dislocation https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963763648 -happens when your upper arm pops out of socket
-most mobile joint, so it’s more likely to dislocate
-cause by sports injuries, car accidents 
-falling on joint 
-most common in younger people from sport injuries, and elder people who fall
-to fix: relocate shoulder back into socket, (preferably by a doctor), use ice to reduce swelling, use a sling to keep arm still, take pain killers and anti-inflammatory and practice strengthening exercises 
- tearing of the muscles, ligaments or tendons can be a complication

Can be a result of a blow to outside of the knee, pivoting with your foot firmly planted or stopping suddenly. It can can be repaired by surgery, muscle strengthening exercises and medications. This type of tear affects athletes whose sport requires them to suddenly stop or change directions constantly. ]]> 2020-11-26 15:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963769536 Patellofemoral Syndrome https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963774638 Patellofemoral Syndrome is pain in the front of the knee around the kneecap. It may also be referred to as “jumpers knee” or “runners knee”. Causes include overuse of the knee joint, or trauma to the knee cap. It is most commonly found in athletes. Symptoms include: 
-Pain when exercising
-Pain when bending knee
-Cracking or popping sounds in knee
Patellofemoral Syndrome can be diagnosed without imaging, however an X-ray is needed to rule out other injuries. In terms of treatment, it is very basic. In most cases, it can be treated at home by icing, compression, rest and elevation. Anti- flammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, shoe inserts and sports massage can also improve symptoms. ]]> 2020-11-26 15:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/easchnur/z6zx4raa0tmzveri/wish/963774638
