Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative disease caused by the progressive wear and tear of the joint cartilage. It often occurs in older age. Osteoarthritis is broadly classified into two categories. In the first category, the degeneration of the cartilage occurs without a known cause and is called primary osteoarthritis. In the second case, osteoarthritis is due to a specific cause
Chronic pain is a significant health issue, especially among the elderly population. Unfortunately, non-cancer chronic pain is not well understood by the medical community, as it typically does not respond to a single medication. The internationally accepted definition of chronic pain highlights that pain is a personal, individualized experience...
Knee pain (gonalgia) is a common complaint across all ages. Possible causes can stem from the bones that make up the joint (tibia, femur, patella) or from the soft tissues such as ligaments, articular cartilage, menisci, and tendons that support or surround the knee.
Pain localized in the lower back, medically referred to as lumbago, is defined as occurring in the area beneath the chest down to the horizontal line that connects the buttocks. Often, lumbago is accompanied by sciatica, meaning the pain extends along the thigh and calf, reaching in some cases all the way to the toes. Lumbago is...
The shoulder is a joint with a large range of motion. To achieve this, nature has designed a joint involving two bones (the humerus and scapula) and a multitude of muscles, ligaments, and tendons whose purpose is to keep the shoulder joint in place and to move it in nearly all directions (360-degree rotation).
Cervical pain, as referenced in medical literature, is the pain that originates from the cervical spine and the soft tissues surrounding it, and it is a common issue among modern urban dwellers. Neck pain requires particular attention when it results from any direct injury to the spine or the head.
The knee, as a joint, is one of the most important in the human body. It belongs to the large joints of the body and bears significant loads—thus also experiencing strain—during walking, running, and jumping. Structures within the knee, such as the menisci, are tasked with the challenging job of distributing these loads and providing stability to the joint...
This syndrome is relatively common in the population and occurs more frequently in middle-aged women. It is a clinical entity described as the narrowing of the sheath of two tendons: the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis.
Here’s the translation of the passage: "Physiologically, the flexor tendons of the hand are surrounded by structures called sheaths, which serve to protect and nourish them. At specific intervals on the palmar surface of the phalanges of the fingers, there are other structures known as annular ligaments (pulleys). These ligaments function like pulleys: they encircle the flexor tendons and, with contraction [...]"
