Jersey finger, the opposite of mallet finger, is when your finger is forced from flexion into extension, causing a loss of flexing ability at the DIP joint. This commonly occurs when athletes hold onto someone else’s jersey, just for the other player to suddenly break away

Lateral ankle sprains, also known as inversion sprains, are one of the most common injuries in sports. Specialized balance and proprioceptive training may improve joint function to prevent initial and recurrent sprains from occurring.

IT Band syndrome is common in athletes (specifically runners and cyclists) or people new to exercise. Women are also at a higher risk for developing IT band syndrome. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to recover after exercise!

One of the leading causes of pain and disability in older adults is osteoarthritis (OA), affecting 1 in 4 Americans. It typically affects those with an increased body mass index, a genetic predisposition for the disease, or joint injury.

Did you know that rotator cuff tendinitis is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain? Rotator cuff tendinitis is where tendons in the shoulder become severely inflamed. If left untreated, this condition could advance and invoke tearing and fraying of the tendon tissue!

Did you know that you don’t have to get surgery after a complete tendon rupture? If the two broken parts are close together for long enough, the tendon will approximate and grow back together! It’s crazy how the body works #achillestendon #science

Frozen shoulder, aka adhesive capsulitis, is characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It has four stages: the Pre-freezing Stage, the Freezing Stage, the Frozen Stage, and the Thawing Phase. Do you know anyone with a frozen shoulder? What stage are they in? #MSD

Did you know that the shoulder is the most unstable joint in the body? It has a lot of mobility, but not much stability. Because of this, the shoulder is predisposed to dislocation and degeneration and is the 3rd most common type of pain. So take care of your shoulder! #MSD

A characteristic sign of carpel tunnel syndrome is numbness of the first 3 1/2 fingers, and pain in the first 4 fingers. So if a patient reports pain or numbness in their pinky finger, this is a sign it not caused by carpel tunnel.

Lifting a heavy load that is far away from the body creates a large torque on the spine. To avoid injury, always attempt to maintain a neutral spine, avoid rotation, and keep loads close to the body when lifting.

Posture is very important in discussing spine health, however it can be damaging to remain static for too long even if maintaining proper posture. If you’re sitting for long periods during the day don’t forget to move your spine and maintain mobility!

Having trouble memorizing sections of the spine? Think of meal times to remember the number of vertebrae: you eat breakfast at 7:00 (7 cervical), lunch at 12:00 (12 thoracic), and dinner at 5:00 (5 lumbar). What other tricks do you know?

Sciatica is very common, but what causes it? The most common cause is a bulging or herniated disc, but piriformis syndrome, spondylosis, hip dislocation, and more can contribute. Thanks for sharing, @All_About_MSD !

Your intervertebral discs contain a center called the nucleus pulposus. This has a gel like consistency that moves within the disc as we move, which allows for greater flexibility! The outer layer is called the annulus fibrosus, and it is made up of collagen for strength! #spine
