MYOSITIS OSSIFICANS

Myositis ossificans is a condition where bone tissue forms inside muscle or other soft tissue after an injury. It tends to develop in young adults and athletes who are more likely to experience traumatic injuries. Myositis ossificans usually occurs where a person has experienced a single traumatic injury, such as sustaining a hit while playing football or soccer that causes a deep muscle bruise.

It can also happen when there is a repetitive injury to the same area, such as in the thighs of horseback riders. Very rarely, myositis ossificans can occur after a severe muscle strainRegardless of the cause, myositis ossificans happens when the body makes an error in the healing process. Muscle cells, also known as fibroblasts, are accidentally replaced by immature bone cells at the site of the injury. Eventually, this can cause a hard lump or bump to develop within the muscle. This is a gradual process and begins within a few weeks after the initial injury. It can be hard to predict who will get myositis ossificans, but the condition is more prevalent in active young adults and athletes.

CARPAL INSTABILITY

CARPAL INSTABILITY - Carpal instability is defined as an injury where there is a loss of normal alignment of the carpal bones and/ or the radioulnar joint. The loss creates a disturbance of the normal balance of the carpal- and radioulnar joints which results in changes to the range of motion. If undiagnosed, carpal instability can lead to progressive limitation of movement, and later to degenerative intercarpal and radiocarpal arthritis, chronic pain and disability Contact us at 011-45656944, 9868328426

ADDUCTOR TENDINOPATHY

A common source of groin pain is adductor tendinopathy. There are five hip adductor muscles: pectineus, adductor brevis and adductor longus (called short adductors) go from the pelvis to the thigh bone and the gracilis and adductor magnus (long adductors) go from the pelvis to the knee. The main function of these adductor muscles is to pull the legs together. They are also used quite a lot in sprinting, playing football, horse riding and hurdling. Tendon injuries (tendinopathies) are common. They can occur through overuse or as a result of a previous injury such as a groin strain.

SYMPTOMS

• Pain in the groin at the top of the adductor muscles that can radiate down the leg.

• Pain on resisted hip flexion.

• Pain at a specific point on the bone in the groin.

• Pain when you press the legs in together against resistance. 

• Have difficulty in running especially sprinting.

CHIARI MALFORMATION

Chiari malformation is a condition in which brain tissue extends into your spinal canal. It occurs when part of your skull is abnormally small or misshapen, pressing on your brain and forcing it downward. Chiari malformation is uncommon, but increased use of imaging tests have led to more frequent diagnoses. Doctors categorize Chiari malformation into three types, depending on the anatomy of the brain tissue that is displaced into the spinal canal, and whether developmental abnormalities of the brain or spine are present. Chiari malformation type I develops as the skull and brain are growing. As a result, signs and symptoms may not occur until late childhood or adulthood. The pediatric forms, Chiari malformation type II and type III, are present at birth.
