Answer 1

Assesment Data Supports Damage

A 25-year-old athlete reports a sudden popping sound in the knee. This results in difficulty with weight bearing and acute swelling of the knee. This assessment data supports damage to anatomic structure which is the anterior cruciate ligament is placed in the knee and is compatible with a shredding sensation.

The talofibular ligament is also probable place of injury and it is present in the ankle. Bursae are placed in areas of high friction. Inflammation is very severe. Joint movement may be limited. Connective tissues which are around muscles are organized in sheaths that cover the muscle so the tissue is selected fascia. Trauma to the fascia, as with any soft tissue, may cause edema and scarring. The injury makes a limitation of joint function.

Answer 2

Anterior cruciate ligament. The athlete may be experiencing a common sports-related injury. Pain and swelling due to forceful twisting or rotating of the knee can result in a torn meniscus. Rest and a cold compress may be of help in reducing the swelling and in difficulty in walking or other motions that shift the weight to the knee.
