WINGED SCAPULA

WINGED SCAPULA - The scapula (shoulder blade) is the largest bone of the shoulder complex and has the greatest number of muscles attached to it. These muscles both stabilise the arm to the body and move the arm around in space. All these muscles act at the same time sometimes and oppose each other at other times, but work together like a well trained team to allow the arm to move in space. If any of these muscles are not working in the right way at the right time this leads to a break in the rhythmic motion of the scapula. This is known as a scapula ' dysrhythmia '. This leads to apparent 'winging' of the scapula.

TRIGGER FINGER

Trigger finger is a condition in which one of your fingers gets stuck in a bent position. Your finger may bend or straighten with a snap — like a trigger being pulled and released. Trigger finger is also known as stenosing tenosynovitis. It occurs when inflammation narrows the space within the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger. If trigger finger is severe, your finger may become locked in a bent position.

SYMPTOMS:

• Finger stiffness, particularly in the morning
• A popping or clicking sensation as you move your finger
• Tenderness or a bump (nodule) in the palm at the base of the affected finger
• Finger catching or locking in a bent position, which suddenly pops straight
• Finger locked in a bent position, which you are unable to straighte

People whose work or hobbies require repetitive gripping actions are at higher risk of developing trigger finger. The condition is also more common in women and in anyone with diabetes. Treatment of trigger finger varies depending on the severity.

FLOATING KNEE INJURY

FLOATING KNEE INJURY - Floating knee is a flail knee joint resulting from fractures of the shafts or adjacent metaphyses of the femur and ipsilateral tibia. Floating knee injuries are always due to high energy trauma. The force required to fracture two of the strongest bones in the body is immense. Not surprisingly, these injuries are associated with other injuries - bony and soft tissue. These patients are usually haemodynamically unstable and need close monitoring and resuscitation during the initial period of following injury.

FEMALE ATHLETE TRIAD

FEMALE ATHLETE TRIAD - The female athlete triad is a disorder that women can develop. It consists of three related conditions that affect one another. These are:

• - eating habits
• - menstrual cycles
• - bone mass.

Signs and symptoms of the female athlete triad include:

• - fatigue
• - weight loss
• - bone loss
• - absent or abnormal periods
• - stress fractures
• - fasting or limiting food intake
• - binge eating
• - self-induced vomiting
• - extreme exercise

SLIP DISC

A slipped disc can occur in any region of your spine: lumbar, thoracic, or cervical. But it’s more common for you to experience it in your lower or lumbar back region.

Cervical or neck slipped disc symptoms:

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in your shoulder, neck, arms, or hands
• Pain experienced in your shoulder, neck, arms, or hands
• Muscle weakness
• Usually, symptoms increase with movement
• Pain on one side of your body
• Sciatica or nerve root pain
• Pain worsens at night 

Lumbar or lower back slipped disc symptoms:

• Pain experienced in your buttocks, legs, or knees
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in your buttocks, back, legs, or feet
• Issues controlling your bowel or bladder movements
• Muscle weakness
• Pain on one side of your body
• Sciatica or nerve root pain
• Usually, symptoms increase with movement such as coughing
• Pain worsens at night

COMPARTMENT SYNDROME

Compartment syndrome occurs when excessive pressure builds up inside an enclosed muscle space in the body. Compartment syndrome usually results from bleeding or swelling after an injury. The dangerously high pressure in compartment syndrome impedes the flow of blood to and from the affected tissues. Acute compartment syndrome is the most common type of compartment syndrome. About three-quarters of the time, acute compartment syndrome is caused by a broken leg or arm. Acute compartment syndrome develops rapidly over hours or days.

Compartment syndrome can develop from the fracture itself, due to pressure from bleeding and edema. Or compartment syndrome may occur later, as a result of treatment for the fracture

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (CFS) is a complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that can't be explained by any underlying medical condition. The fatigue may worsen with physical or mental activity, but doesn't improve with rest. The cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is unknown, although there are many theories — ranging from viral infections to psychological stress. Some experts believe chronic fatigue syndrome might be triggered by a combination of factors. 

Symptoms 
#Fatigue 
#Loss of memory or concentration 
#Sore throat 
#Enlarged lymph nodes in your neck or armpits 
#Unexplained muscle or joint pain 
#Headaches 
#Unrefreshing sleep 
#Extreme exhaustion lasting more than 24 hours after physical or mental exercise
