Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

2.9K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Microtubule Instability02:17

Microtubule Instability

6.2K
Microtubules are hollow cylindrical filaments having a diameter of approximately 25 nm and a length that varies from 200 nm to 25 μm. GTP-bound tubulin subunits form αβ-heterodimers for microtubule assembly. These core building blocks interact longitudinally, polymerizing into protofilaments. The protofilaments then interact with one another through lateral bonding forces to form stable cylindrical microtubules. These cylindrical filaments are dynamic as they undergo repeated...

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes01:28

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

4.1K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs02:57

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

7.6K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

In- and Out-Groups01:31

In- and Out-Groups

43.7K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

44.7K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The deltoid ligament complex, comprising superficial and deep components and the spring ligament, is the primary stabilizer of the ankle joint.
  • Injuries to these structures are common but frequently overlooked, potentially leading to chronic pain, instability, hindfoot deformities, and ankle arthritis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of deltoid ligament injuries.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment strategies for deltoid ligament injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical assessment and patient history are initial steps in identifying deltoid ligament injuries.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic modality.
  • Ankle arthroscopy can serve as a valuable adjunctive tool for injury assessment.

Main Results:

  • Deltoid ligament injuries are often underestimated in frequency and clinical significance.
  • Inadequate management can result in long-term complications affecting ankle function and leading to degenerative changes.

Conclusions:

  • Early recognition of deltoid ligament injuries through clinical evaluation and advanced imaging like MRI is crucial.
  • Treatment must be individualized, addressing associated injuries and deformities, and may involve conservative measures, surgical repair, or reconstruction.
