Name the long thin tendon that is a common source for tendon transplants?
The long thin tendon commonly used for tendon transplants is the flexor tendon from the hamstring muscle, known as the "semitendinosus" tendon.
Where is the ACL?
The ACL is the smallest of the four main ligaments of the knee and is the primary stabilizer. ACL stands for the Anterior Cruciate Ligament. The others are the posterior cruciate ligament and the lateral and medial collateral ligaments. You could live without it, but if you want to participate in sports, or want to have a full life without the constant worry that you might hurt your knee even more, you might want to consider getting it fixed if yours is damaged. They have some amazing arthroscopic surgeries today that make recovery and prognosis much better than it used to be years ago. The ACL prevents the tibia/fibula from gliding forward, and the femur backwards.
What do ligaments do for the knee?
Keeps from luxating back and forth the distal femoral end from the tibial proximal end.II.As their name suggests, each ligament of the cruciate ligament pair crosses the other between its own attachment points, respectively, on laterally opposite aspects of the femur and of the tibia; and conversely for the "opposing" cruciate ligament in the cruciate ligament pair. So, then, you have two restraints (think of them like ropes . . . which, incidentally, is just the thing used to repair joints with severed tendons): one with origin on the medial (inside)aspect of distal femur which attaches to lateral aspect of proximal tibia and restricts forward flexing of tibia (this preventing backward flexion of knee joint; the other attached on opposite aspects, respectively, of femur and tibia and imparting similar leg anti-back-flexion restriction; and also combining, each with the other, to double the force which would be required (to double the tensile strength needing to be "overcome") in order to cause backward (unstable) flexion of the knee joint.It is the "crossing" aspect of the ligament pair (over and above said doubling of tensile strength without doubling of ligament size and pathway) that contributes substantially to imparting knee joint stability: in that the two ligaments, functioning in tandem while also opposing each other at their limits of extension, also restricts transversely-directed torsion/twist between humerus and tibia, a motion which direct, femur-tibia ligament attachment on each side of the knee joint could not effectively do, if at all . . . because a ligament (or rope) cannot effectively impart or resist any force other than in the same direction as its stretched-out length; a femur-attached tendon cannot effectively influence a laterally imposed force applied at its distal attachment to the tibia, but stretching a ligament between those same limits of twist (and on both sides in opposition) can effectively accomplish that same action.
Where is your Achilles tendon at?
A late legend has Achilles' goddess-mother dipping him in the River Styx to make him invulnerable, but holding him by the heel, didn't immerse that part. Crafty Paris shot him in the heel with an arrow, and so killed him. The word Achilles heel is used as an expression for someone's vulnerability. The tendon attaching the calf muscle to the heel is now called the Achilles tendon.
What is tendonotomy?
Tendonotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting a tendon to release tension and allow for greater movement of the associated joint. It is typically used to treat conditions such as chronic tendonitis or tightness in the tendon that is limiting range of motion. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are usually recommended post-surgery to help restore strength and function.
Are any ligaments removed during a total knee replacement?
The anterior cruciate is often removed, and the posterior is removed by some surgeons, and a different implant used.
What is test used to diagnosis anterior movement of tibia in relation to femur?
The test used to diagnose anterior movement of the tibia in relation to the femur is the anterior drawer test. It is commonly utilized in the evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in the knee joint. During the test, the examiner stabilizes the femur while pulling the tibia forward to assess for excessive anterior translation, which may indicate ligamentous instability.
What results would you see from anterior drawer test?
The anterior drawer test is used to assess the stability of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. A positive result would show excessive forward translation of the tibia relative to the femur, indicating a potential ACL injury. This test is commonly used in evaluating for ACL tears in athletes and individuals with knee injuries.
What does 'negative anterior drawer' mean?
A "negative anterior drawer" test indicates that there is no significant forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur when the knee is flexed at 90 degrees. This suggests that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is intact and functioning properly, as a positive result would indicate potential injury or laxity in the ACL. The test is commonly used in clinical assessments of knee injuries.
What is a instrument used to cut a tendon?
Usually a scalpel is used to cut a tendon when doing surgery.
What is a plastic ops tendon?
If you have a tendon that tears and cannot be repaired then it must be replaced. A plastic ops tendon may be used in place of the original tendon if necessary.
Name the long thin tendon that is a common source for tendon transplants?
The long thin tendon commonly used for tendon transplants is the flexor tendon from the hamstring muscle, known as the "semitendinosus" tendon.
Which word is used to describe front or in front of?
Anterior or anterior to.
English word for marathi word 'dambar' which is used to reconstruct the road?
The English word for the Marathi word "dambar" used to reconstruct the road is "road construction."
How did the US Reconstruct the Gov't after the Civil War?

What muscles are used front raises?
anterior deltoid pectoralis major serratus anterior
Does a Deep tendon reflexes are tested with a reflex hammer used to strike a joint?
Yes, deep tendon reflexes are tested with a reflex hammer, which is used to strike a tendon directly. This action stretches the muscle attached to the tendon, leading to a reflex contraction that is then assessed for strength and speed.
