An abrasionis another term for a scrape. This occurs when the skin rubs against a rough surface, such as asphalt or cement. A minor abrasion takes off just the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and can be treated at home. Serious abrasions that involve bleeding and more layers of skinmay need medical attention.
A laceration is a cut or puncture woundthat causes a tear or hole in the skin. If you fall and land on something sharp like a nail, you can end up with a laceration. Like abrasions, lacerations can be minor with little or no bleeding, or very deep requiring medical attention. Lacerations caused by rusty objects such as a nail, may also put you at r...
A knee contusionor bruise is a common injury if you fall on a hard surface. The impact can cause a blood vessel or capillaryin the skin or muscle underneath to leak blood into the surrounding area, creating the black and blue sign of a bruise. A bruised knee is usually treated at home with rest, ice, elevation and an over the counter anti-inflammat...
A knee sprainoccurs when one — or more — of the ligaments in the knee is overstretched. A ligament is a structure that connects one bone to another. If you fall hard or your knee is struck by something heavy or powerful — think of a football tackle — you may experience a knee sprain. If the sprain is minor, you can usually rest at home and treat it...
The meniscus is a rubbery piece of cartilage that sits in between the femurand tibia and helps to cushion and support the two bones. A meniscus tearusually occurs when making a sharp turn in sports such as basketball or football, but a hard fall can also result in a meniscus tear. Some meniscus tears can be treated conservatively (without surgery);...
There are two main tendons in the knee: 1. Quadriceps tendon: The quadriceps tendon connects the quadriceps muscle in the front of the thigh to the top of the patella(kneecap) 2. Patellar tendon: The patellar tendon connects the bottom of the patella to the tibia(shinbone) Patellar tendon tears are more common, and both injuries can result from a f...
The kneecontains four main ligaments that connect the tibia to the femur (thighbone) and allow the knee to move forward, backward, and rotate side to side: 1. anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) 2. posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) 3. medial collateral ligament (MCL) 4. lateral collateral ligament (LCL) A high-impact injury such as a fall or a blow to...
A dislocated kneeoccurs infrequently, but it’s a very serious injury and requires emergent medical attention. Knee dislocations usually occur following high-energy injuries such as car accidents, falls from significant heights, etc., but low energy injuries can occur and push the thighbone out of alignment with the shinbone causing a dislocated kne...
Dec 7, 2021 · Prepatellar bursitis happens when your bursa is frequently irritated, damaged or infected and makes too much fluid. The extra fluid causes your bursa to swell and puts pressure on other parts of your knee. You can usually “see” prepatellar bursitis because the front of your knee will look swollen.
Mar 2, 2024 · Knee bursitis is a condition in which one or more small fluid-filled sacs near the knee joint become inflamed. The sacs are called bursae. Bursae reduce friction and cushion pressure points between bones and tendons, muscles and skin near the joints. Any of the bursae in the knee can be affected by painful swelling, also called inflammation.
Prepatellar bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa in the front of the kneecap (patella). It occurs when the bursa becomes irritated and produces too much fluid, which causes it to swell and put pressure on the adjacent parts of the knee. (Left) Normal knee anatomy shown from the side.
