Vertebral Osteomyelitis

  Overview Vertebral osteomyelitis is a rare but serious infection of the vertebrae, characterized by inflammation and infection of the bone and surrounding tissues. This condition can lead to significant morbidity if not diagnosed and treated promptly. It typically affects the lumbar spine but can occur in any part of the vertebral column. Understanding vertebral […]

Vertebral Fracture

  Overview Vertebral fractures, particularly vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), occur when one or more vertebrae in the spine collapse due to excessive pressure or trauma. These fractures are most commonly associated with osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones, but they can also result from high-energy injuries such as falls or accidents. Understanding vertebral fractures is […]

Unicompartmental Osteoarthritis

  Overview Unicompartmental osteoarthritis (UOA) is a degenerative joint condition that affects only one compartment of the knee, leading to pain and reduced mobility. The knee is divided into three compartments: medial (inner), lateral (outer), and patellofemoral (front). UOA typically occurs in the medial compartment and is characterized by the deterioration of cartilage, which can […]

Ulnar Nerve Entrapment

  Overview Ulnar nerve entrapment is a condition that occurs when the ulnar nerve, which runs from the neck down to the hand, becomes compressed or irritated. This nerve is crucial for providing sensation to the fourth and fifth fingers (ring and little fingers) and controlling many of the muscles in the hand. The most […]

Trochanteric Bursitis

  Overview Trochanteric Bursitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac near the greater trochanter of the femur. The condition causes pain in the outer part of the hip, especially during movement or pressure. While treatable, early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent chronic discomfort and reduced mobility. […]

Trigger Finger

  Overview Trigger finger, medically known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a common condition characterized by the locking or catching of a finger or thumb during movement. This occurs due to inflammation and narrowing of the tendon sheath, particularly affecting the flexor tendons that allow fingers to bend. Trigger finger can significantly impair hand function and […]

Tennis Elbow

  Overview Tennis Elbow, medically known as Lateral Epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by inflammation or degeneration of the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, the bony prominence on the outer elbow. While commonly associated with tennis players, it affects anyone involved in repetitive arm and wrist motions. Prompt diagnosis […]

Tendinitis

  Overview Tendinitis, also known as tendonitis, refers to the inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bones. It is a common condition that often affects the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels. Tendinitis can cause significant discomfort, impacting day-to-day activities. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial […]

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

  Overview Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) is a condition characterized by compression of the posterior tibial nerve as it travels through the tarsal tunnel, a narrow passage located behind the medial malleolus (the bony prominence of the inner ankle). This syndrome can lead to significant discomfort, affecting mobility and daily activities. Understanding TTS is crucial […]

Synovitis

  Overview Synovitis is the inflammation of the synovial membrane, the thin layer of tissue that lines the joints and produces synovial fluid to lubricate and nourish cartilage. This condition often leads to joint pain, swelling, and restricted movement. It can be a standalone issue or a symptom of an underlying disease like arthritis. Early […]
