Dislocation of a joint means that the joint surfaces, which are normally closely applied to each other, are completely disrupted and do not touch each other any longer. The joint capsule surrounds the joint and supports it and is often damaged as the joint surfaces move apart from their normal position. Dislocations may also result in damage to the joint surfaces themselves as they move across each other in their journey to the dislocated position. Joint, ligament and nerve injuries can occur during dislocations.

The conservative treatment of dislocations of the shoulder is a controversial matter in orthopaedics, with management in a sling for anything from one to six weeks. An immobilising strap may be applied around the waist but this is not universal. The arm is kept in to the side with the forearm across the abdomen (officially internal rotation and adduction) to prevent stresses to the injured areas, avoiding arm away from the body and moving it outwards (officially external rotation and abduction).

Metatarsalgia is the name given to foot pain in the forefoot region, which can be a troublesome and disabling pain problem in the part of the foot bearing the metatarsals. It is not a condition in itself but an indication pointing to an underlying pathology. The types of condition which can cause metatarsalgia include Morton’s neuroma or Morton’s metatarsalgia (a nerve overgrowth is called a neuroma), an inflammatory arthritic condition and nerve inflammation. Anyone can suffer from this pain condition but high impact sports and being middle aged are risk factors.

There is a greater need for increased numbers of physiotherapists now than there has ever been. More and more aspects of people’s health have been shown to be amenable to improvement by physiotherapy interventions, with exercise as the main focus. The range of physiotherapy interventions is very great, covering the whole span of medical specialties from obstetrics and the newborn to the elderly, respiratory to orthopaedics, neurology to pain management. This wide spread allows a very great choice of specialised areas to work in and provides good opportunities for finding a fulfilling career.

Every person knows the value of our facial appearance. The prettier it is, the more advantageous it gets. Above anything else, it is the very first thing that others see when they look at you. Generally, our confidence relies on our level of contentment with our physical appearance. When one thinks he or she looks good, confidence really zooms.

Injuries to the groin are very frequent in many different sports, typically those where an inward movement of the hip with some force is a common action. This injury is more common in sports such as football (soccer), ice skating and hockey. Up to 5 percent of all musculoskeletal injuries in football may be of the groin area. If children, adolescents or women present with hip and groin related pain then the possibility of a more serious diagnosis rather than a muscle or tendon strain should be considered and checked for accordingly.

A stress fracture is a relatively common happening in those who pursue sport and in military personnel who march and train vigorously. Stress fractures are mostly a feature of the lower limb bones but can be present in other areas of the body. The foot metatarsals, the fibula and the tibia show the greatest frequency of this type of injury, with decreasing likelihood further up the leg. The application of repetitive strains to the bone at a level insufficient to cause immediate fracture can do so over time as the activity proceeds.

Compartment syndrome occurs when excessive pressure develops in one of the body’s compartments, exceeding the arterial pressure entering the compartment and so preventing blood from flowing in to supply the tissues. This can cause severe problems including great pain and tissue death if it is not treated quickly. This problem occurs mostly in the lower leg and in the forearm, where the muscles are all enclosed in a soft tissue section called a compartment, with the walls made up of bone and strong connective tissue called fascia. This makes the compartment inextensible and liable to pressure build up in certain circumstances.

Patients for amputation do not usually present diagnostic difficulties as they are mostly referred with a history of peripheral vascular disease and extensive treatment. The gradual blocking off of the minor blood vessels causes gangrene in the toes and ulcers on the areas which suffer pressure. This is followed by invasion by bacteria which leads to soft tissue infection and then to infection of the bone. Treatment can be long and drawn out with repeated operations and attempts at lesser amputations, leading to a long period where the patient is non-functioning and in pain.
