More often than not, the body provides clues about what's wrong with it. For example, high cholesterol may lead to your knuckles developing this peculiar trait.
40 yrs female with inability to extend 3rd finger of left hand following trauma. Frontal and lateral projections of 3rd finger of left hand showed flexion deformity of proximal interphalangeal joint and extension deformity of distal interphalangeal joint. moderate soft tissue swelling around the proximal phalanx. No evidence of fracture/ avulsion fragment. High resolution sonography of 3rd finger of left hand revealed rupture of central slip of extensor digitorum tendon at its insersion onto the middle phalanx (1st image. see normal central slip of other finger for comparision). The two lateral slips are intact(2nd image). Axial images of normal and abnormal fingers showing edema at the site of disruption with absent tendon fibres and widely seperated lateral slips(3rd image). Anatomy: · The extensor tendons to the four fingers pass across their respective metacarpophalangeal joints. · The deeper fibres of the tendons form the posterior capsule of the joints. · The bulk of each tendon passes freely across each joint. · The tendons then broaden out and divide into three slips on the dorsal aspect of each proximal phalanx. · The central slip passes on to the base of the middle phalanx. · The lateral slips diverge around the central slip and receive strong attachments from the interossei and lumbricals forming the extensor expansion. Boutonnière (“button hole”) deformity: · Injury to the central tendon results in an imbalance in the extensor mechanism. · Flexor digitorum superficialis is unopposed and it flexes the proximal interphalangeal joint. · This forces the head of the proximal phalanx between the lateral bands. · With time, the triangular ligament ruptures causing the lateral bands to displace volar to the axis of motion of the proximal interphalangeal joint and become flexors of the joint. · The extensor hood retracts proximally, causing extension at the metacarpophalangeal and distal interphalangeal joints. · This results in flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint and hyperextension of the distal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints, known as the boutonnière (“button hole”) deformity. · Types of injury: 1. Avulsion fracture of middle phalanx 2. Partial rupture with stretching of central slip 3. Complete rupture with seperation Reference : Ultrasound imaging of finger tendons at the bedside in the emergency department, Southern Cross University ePublications@SCU.
This was definitely a knife that I let myself have permission to get a little crazy with, which I dubbed the "Alehouse Messer" because I drew my design inspiration from the messers of medieval Europe and the reiver daggers of the Scottish Lowlands. The guard features three facets of hand protection: a large knuckle bow, an ample curling quillion for the back of the hand, and a small angel for the side. The handle is comprised of a single block of curly maple, carved into a birdshead grip for a secure and comfortable fit in hand. The blade is hand-forged from 80CRV2 with a sharpened false edge. Please check local and national ordinances before purchasing. The sheath is made from sturdy 8oz cowhide that is fully engraved, as was common during the Middle Ages. The longsword-esque wrapping allows for multiple carry options including horizontally at the small of the back. Overall length: 17 1/4" Blade length: 11 1/2" Handle length: 5 1/4" Knife weight: 1lb, 5oz Knife and sheath weight: 1lb, 11.9oz Blade width (at widest): 1 15/16" Blade thickness: 3/16"
Ah, the familiar sound of a snapping hip. Most dancers have experienced it at one time or another. Lauren takes us on a tour of the hip and what causes this popping sound, discusses the varieties of snapping hip, and lets you in on a 'little secret' that helped her get rid of the snap, crackle, and pop.
