Best Knee Hip and Shoulder Surgeon

Arthroscopy of The Knee Joint

The knee comprises the joint between the femur and the tibia but also the joint between the patella and the front of the femur. Between the femur and the tibia sit two crescentic cartilages or menisci. . The ligaments around the knee stabilise the knee. They include the collateral ligaments; medial and lateral, lying either side of the knee and the cruciate ligaments, anterior (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), lying within the joint. The fibrous capsule, which surrounds the knee, completes the stability of the joint. The muscles supporting the knee joint are the quadriceps muscle, which is the large bulk of muscle lying at the front of the thigh, and the hamstrings which lie behind the thigh.

Articular cartilage repair

Chondral injures present an unique exceptional challenge to the treating physician in view of the poor natural healing capacity of the articular cartilage cells
Articular cartilage is avascular and therefore has a limited repair capacity. The function of the articular cartilage is to allow lubricated low friction gliding movements of joints and to cushion the loading across the joint. Articular cartilage is made up of dense Type II collagen, a proteoglycan matrix and chondrocytes fixed within the matrix. The fluid contained as hydrostatic pressure within the homeostasis within the extracellular matrix of articular cartilage. This maintains the mechanical integrity of the articular cartilage to withstand the compressive loads across a joint and allow gliding and sliding movement.

Anemia and Hair Loss

Almost one in 10 women aged 20 through 49 suffers from Anemia ( Anemia Hair Loss ) due to an iron deficiency (the most common type of anemia), which is an easily fixable cause of Hair Loss . Your doctor will have to do a blood test to determine for sure if you have this type of anemia. Consult your doctor to rule out a thyroid problem or anemia. Sometimes excessive Hair Loss can be due to certain conditions, such as issues with your thyroid, lack of iron, or an excessive level of male hormones. Estrogen levels can rapidly drop after menopause causing elevated male hormones in a woman’s body. Many factors may result in hair loss, including certain illnesses and poor nutrition. Prolonged fevers are another culprit. Anemia and other vitamin deficiencies can cause both men and women to lose hair, as can low-calorie or low-protein diets. The thing about Hair Loss is that it’s something that can happen to anyone. It doesn’t really discriminate. When you’re ready to fight back and ...

The Women Men Adore and never want to leave

Do Great Relationships Just Happen? Relationships were a mystery to me when I was growing up. It seemed you were lucky if you met people you “clicked” with as friends or lovers. Although I grew up in Sweden where sexual relationships are as natural as your morning muesli, it’s not like “how to have great sex” was a topic in high school biology. As I grew up, I began to see that there might be more than luck involved. I gradually learned that it’s possible to build personal and sexual chemistry. Contrary to what you see in romantic movies, successful relationships don’t happen by chance. They’re the result of hard work and commitment. Yes, it’s true: Initial attraction is either present or absent. Our first emotional connections with partners seem to happen according to chance. It’s what happens later that we should work on. The emotional and sexual attraction that brings us together at first is just a foundation for a fulfilling, lasting relationship. Love may be uncondit...
