  Overview Myositis Ossificans (MO) is a condition in which bone tissue forms within the muscle or soft tissues following an injury. This abnormal bone formation typically occurs in the muscles around joints, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. The condition most often affects the large muscles of the limbs, particularly in the thighs and […]

  Overview Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a condition characterized by chronic pain in the muscles and connective tissue, particularly the fascia, which is the layer of connective tissue surrounding muscles. This pain is often triggered by the formation of “trigger points” — tight, contracted areas in the muscle tissue that can cause intense discomfort. […]

  Overview Myelopathy is a neurological condition resulting from compression or injury to the spinal cord, leading to a range of symptoms that can affect motor function, sensation, and reflexes. This condition can arise from various causes, including degenerative diseases, trauma, infections, or tumours. Myelopathy can occur in different regions of the spine, with cervical […]

  Overview Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition that affects the ball of the foot, most commonly occurring between the third and fourth toes. It involves the thickening of the tissue surrounding one of the nerves leading to the toes, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This condition is often described as feeling like there […]

  Overview Microvascular compression syndrome refers to a group of neurological disorders caused by the compression of cranial nerves by nearby blood vessels. This compression can lead to various symptoms, including pain, spasms, and sensory disturbances. Common conditions associated with microvascular compression include trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Understanding microvascular compression syndrome is […]

  Overview Metastatic bone disease, also known as bone metastasis, occurs when cancer cells spread from their original site to the bones. This condition can lead to significant complications, including bone pain, fractures, and impaired mobility. Common primary cancers that metastasize to bone include breast, lung, prostate, and kidney cancers. Understanding metastatic bone disease is […]

  Overview A meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries, occurring when the cartilage that cushions the knee joint is damaged. This can happen during sports, accidents, or due to age-related degeneration. The meniscus serves as a shock absorber, helping stabilize the knee. A tear can lead to pain, swelling, and limited […]

  Overview Mallet finger, often referred to as “baseball finger,” is a common injury that affects the distal phalanx of the finger, specifically the tendon that straightens the fingertip. This condition occurs when the extensor tendon is damaged, leading to an inability to extend the fingertip, which droops downwards. Mallet finger can result from various […]
