Physical Therapy for a Colles Fracture
A Colles fracture is a break in one of the forearm bones near the wrist that commonly requires physical therapy after a period of immobilization. The exercises used in physical therapy are focused on restoring wrist flexion (bending the hand down at the wrist), wrist extension (bending the hand up at the wrist), and deviation (bending your hand side to side at the wrist).

Four common toe problems can affect your appearance, as they cause deformities in bones and joints. These conditions, such as bunions, hammertoe, and hallux rigidus, may also cause significant pain and progressively worsen.
Surgeons demystify labral pathology in overhead athletes
Since superior labrum lesions were first described in 1985 and the term “SLAP” lesion was coined in 1990, surgeons began to fixate on that region as a pain generator, especially in the overhead athlete population. In the wake of the burgeoning interest in superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions and the surrounding region, the SLAP repair emerged as the preeminent surgical treatment. Widespread overemphasis on SLAP repair diminished when surgeons learned more about the biomechanics of the throwing athlete’s shoulder.
Q&A: How lunges, squats and holds can build stronger tendons and ligaments
UC Davis Health molecular exercise physiologist Keith Baar specializes in sports medicine. He studies the effects of exercise on bone, muscle and tendon health. In this Q&A, he discusses how intensive exercising after injury or when overweight can cause damage to ligaments and tendons. He also talks about the importance of integrating isometric or static exercises into our fitness routines.
Results of surgical treatment of Hoffa fractures in pediatric population: 8-case series
Hoffa's fractures are extremely rare in children. Very few cases have been published in connection with this condition. The present study highlights the healing outcomes of surgical treatment in pediatric Hoffa's fractures without direct comparison to conservative treatment.
