  Anterior cruciate ligament and   injuries The following article provides in-depth information about anterior cruciate ligament anatomy, injuries and its physiotherapy management . One of the most common knee injuries is an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprain, or tear. Athletes who participate in high demand sports like soccer, football, and basketball are more likely to injure their ACL. Anatomy knee joint if form by union of three bones: femur (thigh), tibia(shin), and patella (kneecap). Patella is situated in front of the leg to provide protection. Generally, bones are connected to other bodes by the help of ligaments. There are 4 primary ligaments working as a strong rope to hold knee joint together and provide stability while its moving. Collateral ligaments: These are found on both sides of your knee. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is on the inside and is a flat band of connective tissue that runs from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the me

  Importance of ACL ACL is a key structure in the knee joint kinematics as it resists tibial translation & rotational loads. Almost 85% of total restraining force of anterior translation is provided by ACL, and it also prevents excessive medial and lateral rotation tibia, as well as Varus and valgus stresses. It also has a primary role in proprioceptive function because of the mechanoreceptors in the it. As a consequence of its complex role in the kinematics of the knee, when an ACL injury occurs there are both clinical signs and subjective instability and therefore a comprehensive rehabilitation programe is needed. ACL injury is relatively common knee injuries among athletes and females as we discussed in the previous blog. Injury can range from mild (small tears, grade 1) to severe (complete ligament tear, grade 3) When ACL has complete rupture and there are clinical and subjective signs of instability, a surgical reconstruction is needed. ACL rehabilitation is for both,

  Description: Spondylolysis is a unilateral or bilateral bony defect in the pars interarticularis or isthmus of the vertebra. The term derives from the Greek words spondylos (vertebra) and lysis (defect). It can cause a slipping of the vertebra.  Relevant anatomy: Vertebrae consist of the vertebral body and a bony ring or arcus which protects the spinal cord.The arcus is formed by two pedicles which attach to the dorsal side of the vertebral body and two laminae, which complete the arch. The area between the pedicle and the lamina is called the pars interarticularis and is in fact the weakest part of the arcus. It is the pars interarticularis that is affected in spondylolysis. Aetiology: Affects 3-6% of population. This condition appears in the first or second decade of life; the frequency of spondylolysis increases with age until 20 years. Men are affected twice as often as women. There is a possible genetic tendency for people with lower cortical bone density at the pars
