Plantar Fibromatosis is a rare medical disorder that marks the beginning of the growth of benign tumors under the foot. These tumor-like nodules are referred to as plantar fibromas. They develop on the underside of the foot or the plantar surface. The heel is connected to the bottom of the foot by a band of connective tissue, plantar fascia. The tumors grow slowly and are made up of excess collagen. The condition may affect both the feet (Ledderhorse’s disease) and is not likely to get resolved on its own. It affects males more than females and is relatively widespread among...

TFCC or the triangular fibrocartilage complex is placed in the little finger of the wrist. It not only supports the small-sized carpal bones but also allows the flexion, pronation, supination, deviation, and rotation of the wrist joint. The radius and the ulna (two bones of the forearm) are stabilized by this cartilaginous tissue. An injury to the TFCC may lead to dysfunction and chronic wrist pain. TFCC Tears can be classified into two types: Type 1 Tears - these are the traumatic tears caused by direct injury to the joint Type 2 Tears - these are the degenerative type of...

The knee joint is one of the largest in the body, comprising of three bones - femur, tibia and the kneecap (patella). The kneecap fits into a groove like cavity in front of the femur called the trochlea. All these bones have a protective tissue lining around their surface to reduce friction between them. The quadriceps tendon that lies near the patella connects the quadriceps muscle to the tibia. In normal joints, the patella is placed in the center of the trochlea but in some people it is pulled to one side of the groove and does not slide within the cavity as the leg moves....
