Muscle or Fascial System Lesion (Part I): Understanding the Continuum From Micro to Macro From a Clinical Perspective

Tendon: “From a hierarchical perspective, the tendon exhibits a histological and architectural organization similar to that of skeletal muscle. However, there is no clear terminological or structural equivalence with IMCT.

The tendon is externally covered along its entire length by the epitenon, a layer of loose connective tissue that serves as a smooth gliding surface for the tendon fascicles and also provides supply routes for the nervous and lymphatic systems of the tendon.

Internally, the endotenon (which is the basal membrane containing type IV and VI collagen) surrounds each tendon fiber and also links individual fibers into larger units that form the tendon fascicle (Figure 4). Toward the outside, the endotenon continues into the epitenon.”

THE KNEE LIGAMENTS ✍️

The knee joint is stabilized by four primary ligaments that connect the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone) and fibula. These ligaments are classified into two groups based on their location and function: cruciate ligaments (inside the joint) and collateral ligaments (on the sides of the joint).

1. Cruciate Ligaments (Internal Stability)
Located deep within the knee joint, these two ligaments cross each other to form an "X," controlling the forward and backward motion of the tibia relative to the femur.

🤝 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL): Positioned in the front, it prevents the tibia from sliding too far forward and provides rotational stability. It is the most commonly injured knee ligament, often due to sudden twisting movements.

🤝 Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL): Located behind the ACL, it is thicker and stronger. It prevents the tibia from sliding too far backward. Injuries typically occur from a direct blow to the front of the knee, such as a "dashboard injury" in a car accident.

2. Collateral Ligaments (Side-to-Side Stability)
These ligaments act like straps on the sides of the knee to stabilize it against sideways movements and unusual bracing.

🤝 Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL): Found on the inner (medial) side of the knee. It connects the femur to the tibia and prevents the knee from bending inward (valgus stress). It is frequently injured by a force hitting the outside of the knee.

🤝 Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL): Found on the outer (lateral) side, it connects the femur to the fibula. It prevents the knee from bending outward (varus stress) and is thinner and more cord-like than the MCL.

As a doctor I want to talk to you about the snapping when you open your mouth.

The image shows the temporomandibular joint (ATM), one of the most complex joints in the human body. She is in charge of allowing you to open, close, talk, chew and yawn. The pointed point corresponds to the articulated disc, a cartilage structure that acts as a cushion between the cranial bone and the jaw.

Why does the snapping pop up?

In normal conditions, the disc moves harmoniously along with the jaw.

When this disk moves from its position, the jaw "leaps" on it as the mouth opens or closes, generating the classic snap or click.

This phenomenon usually corresponds to a temporomandibular disorder, and although it often starts without pain, it should not be ignored.

** Frequent causes

- Witchcraft (grinding or gritting the teeth).
- Chronic stress and muscle tension
- Bad dental occlusion.
- Trauma to the jaw.
- Repeated excessive openings (forced yawns, prolonged dental procedures).
- Postural alterations of the neck.

** Associated Symptoms

- Cracked or crumbled when opening or closing the mouth.
- Pain in front of the ear or jaw.
- Difficulty opening my mouth fully.
- Jaw Locking sensation.
- Headache, neck or ear pain for no apparent cause.
- Accelerated dental wear and tear.

What if it's not about it?

Eventually, the disk can stop relocating, leading to:

- Chronic pain.
- Functional limitation.
- Persistent inflammation.
- Degeneration of the joint.
- Difficulty eating and talking.

A jaw snap doesn't always hurt, but it almost always warns. Attending it on time can avoid complex treatments and permanent consequences.

Herniated Spinal Disc
This medical illustration shows a herniated (or slipped) disc between two vertebrae in the human spine. The disc's soft, jelly-like center (nucleus pulposus) has pushed through a crack in the tougher outer layer, compressing a nearby spinal nerve root. This pressure can cause significant pain, numbness, and weakness, often radiating down a limb.
