MRI Excels at Detecting Wrist Ligament Tears

The most advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is nearly as effective as going in surgically to detect tears in wrist ligaments, according to a recent study.

The author of the paper in the American Journal of Roentgenology, Thomas Magee of Neuroskeletal Imaging in Merritt Island, Fla., examined the magnetic resonance (MR) wrist images of 300 patients at his community imaging service.

The Shoulder and Its Many Sources of Pain

With all the extraordinary array of muscles, bones, ligaments and nerves that cluster in the shoulder, it's sometimes called the "spaghetti junction" of our bodies.

And with this dizzying array of layered elements, it's not surprising that the shoulder is prone to many pains that may have causes as diverse as poor posture, stress, psychological problems, computer overuse, playing tennis and lifting and carrying heavy objects. Not to mention that this 10-pound thing called a head must be supported by the relatively slender neck, which may produce strains in the neck area that will in all likelihood spread to the shoulders.

Artificial Disc Treats Lower Back Pain

Jumping off rooftops, running through burning buildings, crashing cars, it's all in a day's work for Jeff Gibson. "I did Batman movies, Robocop, Conspiracy Theory, War of the Worlds."

Catcher's Mitts Cushioning

They’re the guys on the baseball diamond that get the brunt of the bangup: catcher’s get run over, they destroy their knees by crouching all day long. And now, there’s evidence that they suffer significant hand trauma, perhaps, because their gloves aren’t protecting them enough. It’s interesting in that modern catcher’s mitts have less padding than gloves used prior to the 1960’s. The glove is more flexible, allows a better handle on the ball, an easier release if the runner is going. But the downside is that perhaps, it’s putting the catchers at risk for short term and long term hand injury.
