You use it to run, walk, and jump. It is prone to Achilles tendinitis, which is a condition caused by degeneration and overuse, and is quite common. Achilles tendinitis causes you to suffer with pain down the back of your leg close to the heel. / 2 NILSSENORTHOPEDICS.COM | 855-998-FOOT ACHILLES TENDINITIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION & TREATMENT Schedule Consultation ACHILLES TENDINITIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION & TREATMENT What is Achilles Tendinitis? To put it simply, it is inflammation of your tendon. There are a couple forms of Achilles tendinitis, which are determined primarily by the area of the tendon that is experiencing inflammation. There are two common types. Noninsertional Achilles Tendinitis. Patients who are between the ages of 30 and 40 with an increased level of activity tend to suffer with Noninsertional Achilles tendinitis. Patients with noninsertional Achilles tendinitis are often treated with non-surgical therapy and are able to gradually increase activity. Insertional Achilles Tendinitis. When the area that the heel bone and Achilles tendon connects becomes painful with swelling, this is known as Insertional Achilles tendinitis.

  • Hangman's Fracture
    J Neurosurg Spine 14:198–208, 2011 Hangman’s fracture: a historical and biomechanical perspective Historical vignette MAHMOUD RAYES, M.D., MONIKA MITTAL, M.D., SETTI S. RENGACHARY, M.D., AND SANDEEP MITTAL, M.D., F.R.C.S.C. Department of Neurosurgery, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan The execution technique of hanging, introduced by the Angle, Saxon, and Jute Germanic tribes during their invasions of the Roman Empire and Britain in the 5th century, has remained largely unchanged over time. The earli- est form of a gallows was a tree on which prisoners were hanged. Despite the introduction of several modifications such as a trap door, the main mechanism of death remained asphyxiation. This created the opportunity for attempted revival after the execution, and indeed several well-known cases of survival following judicial hanging have been re- ported. It was not until the introduction of the standard drop by Dr. Samuel Haughton in 1866, and the so-called long drop by William Marwood in 1872 that hanging became a standard, humane means to achieve instantaneous death. Hangmen, however, fearing knot slippage, started substituting the subaural knot for the traditional submental knot. Subaural knots were not as effective, and cases of decapitation were recorded. Standardization of the long drop was further propagated by John Berry, an executioner who used mathematical calculations to estimate the correct drop length for each individual to be hanged. A British committee on capital sentences, led by Lord Aberdare, studied the execution method, and advocated for the submental knot. However, it was not until Frederic Wood-Jones published his seminal work in 1913 that cervical fractures were identified as the main mechanism of death following hanging in which the long drop and a submental knot were used.

Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis caused a severe talalgia and they were observed mainly in males with Reiter's syndrome or ankylosing spondylitis. On the other hand, sub-Achilles bursitis more frequently affected women with rheumatoid arthritis and rarely gave rise to severe talalgias. The simple calcaneal spur was associated with generalized osteoarthrosis and its frequency increased with age. This condition was not related to talalgias. Finally, clinical and radiological involvement of the subtalar and midtarsal joints were observed mainly in rheumatoid arthritis and occasionally caused apes valgoplanus. copyright.

  • Cervical Fracture Complicating Ankylosing Spondylitis a Report of Eight Cases and Review of the Literature
    Cervical Fracture Complicating Ankylosing Spondylitis A Report of Eight Cases and Review of the Literature GARVIN C. MURRAY, M.D. Fracture of the cervical spine is a serious and often fatal complication ROBERT H. PERSELLIN. M.D. of ankylosing spondylitis. An evaluation of eight patients and a re- Son Antonio, Texas view of 75 additional cases from the literature are presented. Al- though this complication is relatively uncommon, it is clear that people with advanced disease and complete ankylosis of the cervical spine are at increased risk of sustaining cervical fracture. When fracture occurs it usually stems from minor trauma resulting most commonly in disruption of the lower cervical segments (iIfth through the seventh cervical vertebrae). Fracture is most likely the result of a hyperextension type injury, occurs through what was formerly an intervertebral space, and is unstable. Severe neurologic sequelae occur in 57 percent of the cases and the mortality rate (35 percent) is twice that observed with similar fracture involving normal spines. The majority of patients are best treated with closed reduction with halo traction together with body cast or jacket. Laminectomy is rarely indicated except in the event of an advancing neurologic deficit. With appropriate understanding and execution of management principles, the outcome in these patients can be favorable. Unfortunately, rec- ognition of cervical fracture in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is often needlessly delayed. Distortion of normal anatomy in spon- dylitics, predominant fracture location in lower cervical spine seg- ments and lack of obvious displacement make identification difficult. Thus, management is often inappropriate resulting in exessive neurologic injury and mortality.

  • A Case Report on Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease with a Novel Periaxin Gene Mutation
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.5111 A Case Report on Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease with a Novel Periaxin Gene Mutation Sorabh Datta 1 , Saurabh Kataria 1 , Raghav Govindarajan 1 1. Neurology, University of Missouri, Columbia, USA Corresponding author: Sorabh Datta, [email protected] Abstract Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is one of the most common primary hereditary neuropathies causing peripheral neuropathies. More than 60 different gene mutations are causing this disease. The PRX gene codes for Periaxin proteins that are expressed by Schwann cells and are necessary for the formation and maintenance of myelination of peripheral nerves. Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4F (CMT4F) are the two different clinical phenotypes observed in association with PRX gene mutation. This article describes a case of an elderly male with a novel mutation involving the PRX gene. Categories: Genetics, Internal Medicine, Neurology Keywords: neurology, sensorimotor neuropathy, congenital, gene expression, genetic mutation, protein, pes cavus, demyelinating diseases, charcot-marie-tooth, autosomal recessive disorder Introduction As per the Dyck classification in the year 1970, primary hereditary neuropathies are divided into hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN) and hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) [1]. Charcot- Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a type of HMSN with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 2,500 [2]. CMT can follow autosomal recessive (ARCMT), X-linked recessive, and also an autosomal dominant pattern. CMT type 4 is a rapidly increasing ARCMT disease form in HMSN, although CMT type 1 and 2 still account for the most substantial proportion of the patient population [3]. CMT4F is a severe, demyelinating subtype of CMT type 4 and is characterized by childhood onset of slowly progressing weakness in the distal muscles associated with atrophy.

  • PE2260 Five-Finger Exercise
    The Five-Finger Exercise The 5-finger exercise is helpful for relaxation and calming your system. It does not take long, but can help you feel much more peaceful and relaxed and help you feel better about yourself. Try it any time you feel tension. What are the steps to the 5-finger exercise? On one hand, touch your thumb to your index finger. Think back to a time you felt tired after exercise or some other fun physical activity. Touch your thumb to your middle finger. Go back to a time when you had a loving experience. You might recall a loving day with your family or a good friend, a warm hug from a parent or a time you had a really good conversation with someone. Touch your thumb to your ring finger. Remember the nicest compliment anyone ever gave you. Try to accept it now fully. When you do this, you are showing respect for the person who said it. You are really paying them a compliment in return. Touch your thumb to your little finger. Go back in your mind to the most beautiful and relaxing place you have ever been.
