SpecialtyRheumatology Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries or pains to the human musculoskeletal system, including joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, and structures that support the limbs, neck and back. [1] MSDs can arise from sudden deployment (e.g., lifting heavy objects)[2], or they can arise from making the same movement repeatedly, or from repeated exposure to force, vibration, or awkward posture. [3] Injuries and pain to the musculoskeletal system caused by acute traumatic events such as car accidents or falls are not considered musculoskeletal disorders. [4] MSD can affect various parts of the body including the upper and lower back, neck, shoulders and extremities (arms, legs, legs, and hands). [5] Examples of MSD include carpal tunnel syndrome, epicondylitis, tendinitis, back pain, neck strain syndrome, and arm vibration syndrome. [3] The cause of MSD can arise from the interaction of physical factors with ergonomic, psychological, social, and occupationn factors. [6] Biomechanical MSEs are caused by biomechanical loads which are the forces that must be applied to perform tasks, the duration of the force applied, and the frequency with which tasks are used. [7] Activities involving heavy loads can result in acute injury, but most work-related MSDs come from repetitive movements, or from maintaining static positions. [8] Even activities that do not require much strength can result in muscle damage if the activity is repeated often enough at short intervals. [8] MSD risk factors involve performing tasks with heavy strength, repetition, or maintaining a nonneutral posture. [8] Special attention is the combination of heavy loads with repetition. [8] Although poor posture is often blamed for lower back pain, systematic reviews of literature fail to find consistent connections. [9] Individual differences in people vary in their tendency to obtain MSD. Gender was a factor, with women having a higher incidence of MSD than men. [8] Obesity is also a factor, with overweight individuals having a higher risk of some MSDs, in particular down. [10] Psychosocial There is a growing consensus that psychosocial factors are another cause of some MSDs. [11] Some theories for this causal relationship were discovered by many including increased muscle tension, increased blood pressure and fluids, reduction in growth function, reduction in pain sensitivity, pelebasi pupils, body remaining in a state of increased sensitivity. While there is currently no consensus,[12] some workplace stresses found to be associated with MSMEs in the workplace include high job demands, low social support, and overall job tensions. [11] Researchers have consistently identified a causal link between job dissatisfaction and MSD. For example, improving job satisfaction can reduce 17-69 percent of work-related back disorders and improving job control can reduce 37-84 percent of work-related wrist disorders. [15] Because workers maintain the same posture during long and frequent work days of several years, even natural postures such as standing can cause MSD such as lower back pain. Less natural postures, such as twisting or tension in the upper body, are usually contributors to the development of MSMEs due to the unnatural biomechanical load of this posture. [3] There is evidence that posture contributes to MSD in the neck, shoulders, and back. [3] Repetitive movement is another risk factor for MSD from the job because workers can perform the same movement repeatedly over a long period of time (e.g. typing leading to carpal tunnel syndrome, lifting heavy objects leading to hernia discs/disc slips), which can wear on the joints and muscles involved in the movement in question. [3] Workers who perform repetitive movements at high work speeds with little recovery time and workers with little or no control over movement time (e.g. workers on assembly lines) are also susceptible to MSMEs due to the motion of their work. [16] The strength required to perform action on the job can also be associated with a higher risk of MSD in workers, as movement that requires more strength can make muscles fatigue faster which can lead to injury and/or pain. [3] In addition, vibration exposure (experienced by truck drivers or construction workers, for example) and extreme hot or cold temperatures can affect a worker's ability to assess strength and strength, which can lead to the development of MSD. [16] Vibration exposure is also associated with arm vibration syndrome, which has symptoms of lack of blood circulation to the finger, nerve compression, tingling, and/or numbness. [18] The UMK Diagnosis Assessment is based on its own reports of symptoms and pain as well as physical examinations by doctors. [3] Doctors rely on medical history, recreation and occupation hazards, pain intensity, physical exams to find pain, and sometimes laboratory tests, X-rays, or MRIs[19] Doctors look for specific criteria for diagnosing each different musculoskeletal disorder, based on the location, type, and intensity of the pain, as well as what types of limited or painful movements are restricted or painfully painful Experience. [3] A popular MSD measure is the Nordic Questionnaire which has body images with various labeled areas and asks individuals to indicate where they are experiencing pain, and in areas where pain interferes with normal activity. [5] MSD prevention relies on identifying risk factors, either by self-reporting, observation on the job, or posture measurements that can lead to MSD. [20] Once risk factors are determined, there are several intervention methods that can be used to prevent the development of MSD. The target of MSD prevention efforts is often the workplace in order to identify the incidence rate of both disruption and exposure to unsafe conditions. [21] Workplace control of certain risky Groups can be identified, and modifications to the physical and psychosocial environment can be made. [21] Prevention approaches to workplace settings include matching the person's physical abilities with tasks, improving the person's abilities, changing the way tasks are performed, or changing tasks. [22] Employers can also use engineering controls and administrative controls to prevent injuries that occur at work. [4] The implementation of engineering controls is the process of designing or redesigning the workplace to take

  • Supracondylar Femoral Extension Osteotomy and Patellar Tendon Advancement in the Management of Persistent Crouch Gait in Cerebral Palsy
    Original Article Supracondylar femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon advancement in the management of persistent crouch gait in cerebral palsy Sakti Prasad Das, Sudhakar Pradhan, Shankar Ganesh1, Pabitra Kumar Sahu, Ram Narayan Mohanty, Sanjay Kumar Das ABSTRACT Background: Severe crouch gait in adolescent cerebral palsy is a difficult problem to manage. The patients develop loading of patellofemoral joint, leading to pain, gait deviation, excessive energy expenditure and progressive loss of function. Patella alta and avulsion of patella are the other complications. Different treatment options have been described in the literature to deal with this difficult problem. We evaluated outcome of supracondylar femoral extension osteotomy (SCFEO) and patellar tendon advancement (PTA) in the treatment of crouch gait in patients with cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods: Fourteen adolescents with crouch gait were operated by SCFEO and PTA. All subjects were evaluated pre and postoperatively. Clinical, radiographic, observational gait analysis and functional measures were included to assess the changes in knee function. Results: Cases were followed up to 3 years. The patients walked with increased knee extension and improvement in quadriceps muscle strength. Knee pain was decreased and improvements in functional mobility and radiologic improvement were found. Conclusion: SCFEO and PTA for adolescent crouch gait is effective in improving knee extensor strength, reducing knee pain and improving function. Key words: Crouch gait, patellar

  • Treatment of Patellar Dislocation in Children
    Petri Sillanpää MD PhD Treatment of Patellar Dislocation in Children Introduction Lateral patellar dislocation is a common knee injury in pediatric population1, and is the most common acute knee injury in the skeletally immature. Over half of the cases cause recurrent patellar dislocations and pain. The mechanism of injury is most often with the foot planted and tibia external rotated. It can also occur with jump landing and/or decelerating. The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is frequently injured in an acute patellar dislocation.2-7 Initial management of the pediatric patellar dislocation is mainly nonoperative. Surgery is indicated if a large osteochondral fragment is present or patella is highly unstable or extensively lateralized due to massive medial restraint injury. Surgical stabilization is recommended if redislocations are frequent and cause pain or inability to attend sports acitivites. Reconstruction of the MPFL is a preferred surgical option in the skeletally immature knee, as operations that involve bone are contraindicated. MPFL reconstruction techniques that do not involve drilling or disruption of the periosteum near the femoral physes are safe for the skeletally immature knee. Treatment of patellar dislocation in the skeletally immature patient is presented with specific discussion of surgical technique and results of double bundle MPFL reconstruction. Epidemiology and predisposing factors A population-based study have estimated annual incidence rate of first-time (primary) patellar dislocations in children,1 resulting in 43 / 100 000. Buchner et al11 reported a 52% redislocation rate in patients aged <15 years compared with 26% for the entire group. Similarly, Cash and Hughston12 showed a 60% incidence of redislocation in children aged 11-14 years compared with 33% in those aged 15-18 years.

Dimensions and classification of patellae are important anthropologically as well as clinically. Aims & Objectives- Morphometry of patella has a definite role in implant design and reconstructive surgeries of knee joint. The present study aims to find out different dimensions of patella and its facets on both sides and compared. Material & Methods- The morphometric study comprised of sixty (30 left and 30 right) dry human patella collected from department museum by using sliding digital calliper. The different parameters studied are height, width, thickness of patella, length and width of medial and lateral facets. Classification of patella was done by using the measurements of its articular facets. Observations- The mean height, width, thickness of patella of left side were found to be 37.79mm, 38.26mm, 19.35mm and that of right side were 35.72mm, 34.91mm, 17.64mm respectively. The mean width of medial and lateral articular facet of left side were 19.42mm, 21.21mm and that of right side were 18.33mm,20.97mm respectively. Width of lateral articular facet is significantly larger than that of medial articular facet of same side(p<0.05) and 85% of patella belongs to Wiberg typeB.The mean patellar thickness on left and right side is 19.35mm & 17.64mm respectively,left side being significantly more than(P<0.05) that of right side.
