A tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is an injury to one of the ligaments on the inside of the elbow. This ligament connects the inside of the arm (humerus) to the inside of the forearm (ulna) and helps to support and stabilize it.

The relaxed and stretched ligaments and tendons supporting the pelvis and lumbar spine are particularly stressed during pregnancy. Excessive mobility in these areas can cause the surrounding muscles to spasm in order to provide support. The woman's posture is altered as the increasing weight of the baby shifts the centre of gravity forward. These factors combine to cause poor posture such as hyperlordosis and hypercyphosis, both of which can cause and exacerbate back pain.

Chronic abdominal wall pain is an important but unrecognized cause of non-specific abdominal pain [1]. On the other hand, if it is caused by myofascial structures, it will be called abdominal myofascial pain syndrome, which is an important cause of refractory abdominal pain. Abdominal myofascial pain syndrome develops as a result of trigger points in the abdominal musculature. Trigger points are points of exquisite tenderness and hyperirritability in the muscles [6,7].

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a premature wear and tear of the cartilage. The cartilage becomes frayed and rough, leading to friction, wear and tear and a reduction in joint space. To stabilise the joint laxity thus formed, the joint surface will form bone spurs (stabilisation, see Dr Kirkaldy-Willis). Eventually, the joint wear will limit the movement of the knee.

Introduction The human body is an intricate network of structural and functional systems, and nowhere is this complexity more evident than in the female anatomy. With adaptations that have evolved over millennia, the female body has developed unique features that serve specific reproductive and biomechanical purposes. These adaptations influence not...

Introduction Weightlifting, a physically and mentally demanding discipline, relies on brute strength, technique, and perseverance. Athletes engaged in this practice subject their bodies to extreme loads, making it a sport where musculoskeletal injuries are common. Among these injuries, osteolysis of the distal clavicle, also known as "weightlifter's shoulder," stands out...
