Achilles tendonitis is a common overuse injury affecting the large tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel. It develops when the tendon becomes irritated, inflamed, or starts to break down from repetitive stress, often caused by running, jumping, or sudden increases in activity. While athletes are frequently affected, everyday activities like walking, stair Read More »
Lateral epicondylitis, better known as tennis elbow, is one of the most common tendon injuries affecting the outer part of the elbow. It develops when the tendons responsible for wrist and finger extension become overloaded, often from repeated gripping, lifting, or twisting. While athletes can develop it, most cases occur in everyday settings, making it Read More »
The knee is one of the most frequently used and complex joints in the body, relying on bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage to provide both stability and smooth movement. Among these structures, the meniscus plays a critical role in absorbing shock, distributing body weight, and protecting the knee from excessive wear and tear. Meniscus injuries Read More »
The knee is one of the most complex and heavily used joints in the body. It relies on multiple ligaments, tendons, and cartilage to provide stability, mobility, and shock absorption. Among these structures, the posterolateral corner (PLC) plays a critical role in stabilizing the knee, especially against rotational forces and varus stress (forces that push Read More »
Hip labrum tears are a painful condition affecting the ring of cartilage (the labrum) that surrounds the hip socket, helping stabilize the joint and cushion movement. Although often seen in athletes who perform repetitive twisting, pivoting, or high-impact activities, labral tears can also occur due to trauma, structural abnormalities, or age-related wear. When the labrum Read More »
Osteitis pubis is a painful condition that affects the front of the pelvis, specifically at the pubic symphysis, the joint where the two halves of the pelvis meet. It is commonly associated with athletes, particularly those involved in sports that require repetitive twisting and kicking movements. When the inflammation of the pubic symphysis begins to Read More »
Shoulder and elbow injuries can significantly affect mobility, strength, and daily function. Two common conditions that often bring patients to the clinic are biceps tendon injuries and distal humerus fractures. While both involve the elbow region, they differ in cause, severity, and treatment approach. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how these injuries occur, the Read More »
A fall onto an outstretched arm can leave you with more than just a bruise — it’s one of the most common ways people injure the radial head, the rounded top of the radius bone in the forearm. When this part of the elbow joint cracks or breaks, everyday movements like bending the arm, turning Read More »
Persistent hip pain can be more than just an inconvenience—it may be a sign of structural issues within the joint. Two common causes of hip discomfort, especially in active individuals and athletes, are cam and pincer lesions. The root of that discomfort may be a condition known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), which involves abnormal contact Read More »
