The knee has four ligaments that work together in concert. They act like strong ropes to hold the bones together and keep the knee stable for walking, pivoting, turning, and almost any athletic activity. It’s bad when just one ligament like the ACL gets injured, but when two or three or even four get injured, […]
Cancer is always frightening, no matter where it occurs. One type of cancer that is particularly distressing is chordoma, a rare malignant bone tumor that forms in the spine or the base of the skull.

It can be hard to do the things you’re used to doing because movements like putting on a seat belt or reaching for something high up can be painful. Advanced AC joint injuries […]
A femur fracture is a serious injury that usually causes immediate, severe pain. You will not be able to put weight on the injured leg, and it may look deformed—shorter than the other leg and no longer straight. The break may also injure the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves of the leg. When a femur […]
Compartment syndrome is a painful condition that is the result of a buildup of pressure around a muscle within a muscle compartment.
