External Shoulder Impingement

  Overview External Shoulder Impingement, also known as subacromial impingement syndrome, is a common condition where the tendons or bursa in the shoulder become compressed during shoulder movements. This leads to pain, inflammation, and reduced range of motion. Common among athletes and individuals with repetitive overhead activity, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent […]

Extensor Tendinitis

  Overview Extensor Tendinitis refers to the inflammation or irritation of the extensor tendons, which are responsible for straightening the fingers, wrist, or toes. This condition commonly affects athletes and individuals performing repetitive hand or foot movements. It can cause discomfort and limit the affected joint’s mobility. Early intervention is crucial to prevent long-term complications […]

Extensor Mechanism Injury

  Overview Extensor mechanism injuries affect the structures responsible for extending the knee, including the quadriceps tendon, patella, and patellar tendon. These injuries can result from trauma, overuse, or degenerative conditions, significantly impairing mobility and quality of life. In India, where physical activity and labour-intensive tasks are common, timely diagnosis and treatment of such injuries […]

Erosive Osteoarthritis

  Overview Erosive Osteoarthritis (EOA) is a rare but aggressive form of osteoarthritis that primarily affects the small joints of the hands. Unlike typical osteoarthritis, EOA is characterized by joint inflammation and cartilage destruction, leading to bone erosion and deformity. This condition often affects middle-aged women and can significantly impair hand function, impacting daily activities. […]

Epiphyseal Dysplasia

  Overview Epiphyseal Dysplasia is a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the growth and development of the epiphyses (the rounded ends of long bones), leading to skeletal abnormalities. It manifests in various forms, such as Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia (MED) and Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia (SED), and often results in joint pain, reduced mobility, and short […]

Dupuytren Contracture

  Overview Dupuytren’s Contracture is a progressive condition affecting the connective tissue beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. Over time, this disorder can lead to permanent deformities, restricting hand function and affecting the quality of life. Introduction Named after French surgeon Guillaume Dupuytren, who described the condition in the 19th century, Dupuytren’s Contracture […]

Distal Radius Fracture

  Overview A distal radius fracture, commonly known as a wrist fracture, occurs near the larger of the two forearm bones, close to the wrist joint. It is one of the most frequent types of fractures, especially among individuals who experience falls or trauma. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to restoring wrist function […]

Dislocated Shoulder

  Overview A dislocated shoulder occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) slips out of its socket (glenoid) in the shoulder blade. This condition is common due to the shoulder joint’s wide range of motion, making it prone to instability. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to restore joint alignment and prevent complications. Introduction The shoulder […]

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis

  Overview Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by abnormal calcification and ossification of ligaments and tendons at their attachment points to bones, primarily in the spine. It is a non-inflammatory disorder, distinct from arthritis, but may lead to stiffness and discomfort. DISH predominantly affects middle-aged and older adults and is more […]

Diabetic Foot Complications

  Overview Diabetic foot complications, often associated with microvascular issues, represent a severe consequence of uncontrolled diabetes. These complications include ulcers, infections, and tissue damage, which may lead to amputations if untreated. In India, with its high prevalence of diabetes, diabetic foot conditions are a significant public health challenge, necessitating awareness, early diagnosis, and effective […]
