Rotator Cuff Tears: Overview
This video provides an overview of how rotator cuff tears develop, relevant anatomy, and how health care professionals diagnose a patient.
-
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries, resulting from twisting or rolling the ankle. This overstretches the ligaments that support the ankle, which can make the ankle unstable.
-
Bunions
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the inner side of the foot at the base of the big toe. Bunions result from poor alignment of the bones that make up the big toe joint. They may get...
-
Chronic Ankle Sprains (Lateral Ankle Instability)
Repeated ankle sprains over time may result in loosening of the ligaments around the ankle. When the ligaments around the ankle become too loose, they cannot properly stabilize the ankle joint. This is referred to as ankle instability, which can...
-
High Ankle Sprains
High ankle sprains are a unique type of injury that damages the ligaments between the tibia and fibula bones of the ankle. These ligaments are located above the ankle joint and help hold the bones together. High ankle sprains most...
-
Ankle Fractures
A broken ankle, or ankle fracture, is a break in one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint. Ankle fractures typically result from falls or high-impact injuries that involve twisting or rolling the ankle. Depending on...
-
Meniscus Tears
The menisci are small, shock-absorbing cartilage discs within the knee joint. Meniscus tears can occur with planting and twisting injuries or develop gradually with wear and tear over time. Meniscus tears typically cause knee pain and instability.
-
Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis is a slowly developing condition that results from the breakdown of cartilage within the knee joint. This leads to knee pain, swelling, and stiffness that can make standing, walking, and going up and down stairs very difficult.
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This occurs as the median nerve moves through a narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome results in numbness and tingling in...
-
Wrist Fractures
A broken wrist, also called a wrist fracture, is a common injury typically caused by a fall onto an outstretched hand. Some wrist fractures can be simple in nature and require little intervention. Others can be complex and need surgery...
-
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears
The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is a strong ligament within the knee joint. It stabilizes the knee and is important for staying active in sports and walking. ACL tears often occur from falls or with quick, twisting or pivoting...
-
Thumb Injuries
The thumb is the most moveable joint in the hand, and it moves in a combination of different ways to hold and manipulate objects. Repeated strain or direct injury to the thumb can damage the supporting joint and ligaments, which...
-
Shoulder Arthritis
Shoulder arthritis results from the loss of cartilage in the shoulder joint. This causes pain and stiffness within the shoulder, which can affect daily tasks like getting dressed, reaching, and lifting the arms.
-
Rotator Cuff Tears
The rotator cuff muscles surround and stabilize the shoulder joint. Rotator cuff tears result when the tendons of these muscles are torn from the upper arm bone. This can occur with sudden injuries or develop slowly from wear and tear...
-
Shoulder Instability
The ball and socket of the shoulder is the most moveable joint in the body. Because of this, it is also susceptible to dislocation, where the ball slips out of the socket. This is referred to as shoulder instability, which...
-
Thumb Sprains
Thumb sprains result from injury to a ligament that stabilizes the thumb joint. This causes pain and swelling and weakens the ability of the ligament to support the thumb.
-
Thumb Arthritis
The thumb is the most common place in the hand to develop arthritis. Thumb arthritis results from the breakdown of cartilage within the joint at the base of the thumb. This results in inflammation and pain with everyday tasks, such...
-
Achilles Tendon Tears
The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone. Although it is very strong, it can tear off with sudden, forceful movements. Achilles tendon tears result in pain and weakness, making it difficult to walk.
