What is Articular Cartilage?Articular cartilage is the smooth, white highly specialized connective tissue that lines the end of bones within a joint surface. For example, within the hip, articular cartilage lines the end of the femur and the acetabulum....
What is the function of ligaments?Question:What is the function of ligaments?Ligaments:Ligaments are made up of collagen fibers and are flexible yet very strong. Injury to the ligaments can occur when the joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion.Answer...
The glenohumeral stability is usually provided by rotator cuff musculature and capsule-ligament structures (glenoid labrum, glenohumeral ligaments and capsule). In order to control the synergistic relationship between muscles and capsuloligamentous structures, the somatosensory system located in the...
The arthrodial membrane which is a colorless membrane, functions in joining these sclerites. Arthrodial membrane is therefore also known as the intersegmental membrane. Moreover, this arthrodial membrane is a flexible cuticle and ithelps in providing free movement to insects like cockroaches. The ta...
labrum arthroscopically with miniature tools inside the joint. They fixed the labrum and at the same time sculpted away the bony impingements that had caused the damage. Now the question is: After the labrum is repaired and the offending bone removed, will the hip be preserved for a life...
Prolotherapy is certainly an important clinical tool to treat damaged connective tissue—ligaments, tendons, cartilage, meniscus, labrum, fascia, etc. But perhaps a greater contribution made by Prolotherapy is that it sheds light on an important medical mystery. That ...

But just four days after that All-Star Game, Tulowitzki suffered a left hip flexor strain that ultimately led to season-ending hip labrum surgery in August. Not only was Tulowitzki's season over, but this marked the beginning of a rapid career decline. He missed large chunks of time due ...
Currently, intraoper- ative surgical decision-making varies among surgeons and is often decided on a patient-by-patient basis with no normative data regarding hip ROM before bony abutment. We therefore sought to establish normative data for hip motion and to understand how the labrum moves with ...
The labrum may be inverted and serve as mechanical block for concentric reduction of the hip. Other structures that may block reduction are the limbus, which is formed as a pathologic response of the acetabulum to abnormal pressure around the hip; the ligamentum teres, which lengthens and hyper...
