Triple deformity of knee consists of 3 components:
1. Flexion deformity at knee
2. Posterolateral subluxation of tibia
3. External rotation of tibia over femoral condyle
Mechanism behind triple deformity of knee:
Causes of Triple deformity of knee:
Mnemonic: TRIPLE
1. Tuberculosis (TB) knee – commonest cause
2. Rheumatoid arthritis
3. ITB contracture
4. Polio
5. Low clotting capacity/
6. Excessive bleeding i.e. hemophilia
Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibitors A peptidoglycan monomer consists of 2 joined amino-sugars, N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) and N-acetyle muramic acid (NAM), with a pentapeptide coming off of the NAM. So, a peptidoglycan monomer is a NAG-NAM-pentapeptide. These peptidoglycan monomers are synthesized in cytosol and transported across cytoplasmic membrane by Bactoprenols (BP)….
Order of decreasing wavelength Mnemonic: CHyNa PuRE The laser tissue interaction can be remembered in the reverse order using the mnemonic ACiDiTy. Carbon dioxide (CO2): 10600 (photoThermal) Holmium YAG: 2100 (photoDisruption) Nd:YAG: 1064 (photoDisruption) Pulsed dye laser: 585-600 (photoChemical) aRgon green: 514 (photoChemical) Excimer: 193 (photoAblation) Indications of Laser aRgon…
