Where is the wrisberg ligament located?
The Wrisberg ligament is located in the knee joint, specifically within the posterior part of the knee joint near the lateral meniscus. It is a small ligament that can contribute to the overall stability of the knee.
What are the differences between the medial and lateral meniscus?
Both the Medial and lateral menisci are outside the synovial cavity but within the joint cavity. The Medial meniscus is larger than the lateral meniscus. The Medial meniscus is C shaped where as the lateral mensicus is circular shaped. The Medial meniscus is directly attached to the medial collateral ligament, where as the Popliteal muscle interferes in between the attachment of lateral meniscus and lateral collateral ligament.
What muscles on the knee are damaged real bad that a football player cannot play football anymore?
It's not muscles that are damaged bad enough to end a player's career but meniscus and ligaments. The more common injuries are to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and meniscus (cartilage). Severe ligament or meniscus injuries require surgery to repair and it is possible to damage all three at the same time. An single injury to meniscus is generally not considered career threatening but an injury to the ACL and/or MCL certainly can be.
What is the Unhappy triad?
The unhappy triad was a phrase coined by O'Donaghue in 1950. It is when the following structures in the knee are compromised. Rupture of the medial collateral ligament, damage to the medial meniscus, and rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.
Which ligament at the knee protects it from lateral rotation?
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps to prevent the knee from excessive lateral (sideways) rotation. It provides stability by limiting the tibia's forward movement in relation to the femur.
What does a hit on the lateral side of the knee result in?
A hit on the lateral side of the knee can result in injuries to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), iliotibial (IT) band, biceps femoris tendon, or fibular collateral ligament. It can also lead to lateral meniscus tears or fractures of the fibular head.
What is the average settlement cost for a total knee replacement with lateral collateral ligament repair?
Normally you are looking at about 90k yet for medial meniscus I got 35k and for lcl surgery about 70 k.
What are the parts of the lateral knee?
The lateral knee consists of the lateral collateral ligament, lateral meniscus, iliotibial band, biceps femoris, and the fibular collateral ligament. These structures provide stability and support to the knee joint during movement.
