They are lucky to have you Sam, you are very passionate about your work. The reason we, your viewers enjoy your videos so much is because you focus on one area of the body and explain its function in great detail, slowly in great dept. I am a massage therapist here in the states and my clients are mostly PCT hikers (the trail that runs from Mexico to Canada) and runners. I am very glad I discovered your videos, I am watching them daily, Thank you! Also UA-cam recommended your channel to me, probably because of my watching history, anatomy videos and such again thanks you are worth your weight in gold!
You are doing wonders!! I literally passed my upper limb test, although I went late to medical school, just because of you and I just can't thank you enough for all of your spectacular videos 😊❤️
I really want to thank you, sir, I'm speaking for myself when I say you brought change into my life. I'm a young architect in a country that speaks another language. Interested in health and exercise. It has been so tough to understand all of this for real but it all has come to a beautiful understanding of the human as a body. All thanks to you. Really thankful for your work sir. I send all the love and all the peace to you.
I love how easy to understand your videos are, even to someone who knows next to nothing about anatomy. I had quite a serious injury and your videos have been great source for understanding the bits and pieces involved. Thank you!
Hi Sam, fantastic lessons. I'm currently laid up with a complete pateller tendon tear from falling down stairs. I had my operation and am now in a leg brace, unable to do much. It took just two seconds of freefalling over four curved stairs to pull my patella out and now I'm trying to reassure myself that I'll recover back to some level of mobility but it's a long haul. My pateller tendon tore just below the pateller bone and the subsequent pull from the quadriceps pulled my kneecap up at an odd angle. I was actually able to walk but couldn't put more than 20 degrees of flexion without it buckling. I was walking with crutches for two weeks before I had my operation and had surprisingly little pain. Until after my op. Now it's bad!!! So it's nice to sit and learn about this complicated joint and get an idea of how this repair should heal. Keep up the good work.
well, one has to be immensely grateful that for whatever reason, u decided to do these videos...and rather than calling it your career on youtube i'd much rather call it your legacy !!
you all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Tommy Ben Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I cycle a lot! 25 miles a day to work. I thought my knee pain was tendon or cartilage damage, or misaligned traction of patella. 21:00 absolutely invaluable, thank you Sam, I watch so much videos and it helps my entire life more than you know!!!
Came here because of an anatomy exam, left with new hope for my early stage degenerating knees and even more motivation to work on my genu valgum ☺️ Hope maybe my cartrilege will be happy with me someday afterall
Just embarked on a 3 yr degree, Sports and Exercise Therapy, and I’ve just found your vids, which are fabulous - you’re a whole lot of fabulously quirky as well, which really helps! Thanks for fun education!
GREAT JOB ! such a pleasure to get some knolwledge from an orator like you , fun and rich , i guess schools miss peoples like you , thanks a lot for that !
You really make learning about anatomy something I actually look forward too. I look at my notes and begin to understand them while I listen to your lectures. Thank you so much for these videos.
The knee, the knee, always the knee. What an amazing design for a life time of functioning. Unbelievable tonnage of work forces over time and it still remains totally able to withstand the demands impinged upon it. Divinely engineered to provide mobility.
Omg I never knew that the iliotibial band could cause lateral knee pain, I always thought if it was with knees it had to do with the Quad muscles, especially the vastus medialis. But yeah this is why I watch these videos over and over and over again, because as a massage student I just want to know everything that I possibly can about muscles, tendon & ligaments ☺💖💗🧠
An excellent description and explanation of the knee - other so-called 'experts' on UA-cam clearly have no idea how the knee actually works! Glad to find out that my slightly turned in knee (whilst standing) is perfectly normal....(real life so-called experts are also ill informed!!!!)
Thanks! I'm not a knee expert. I have some experience in articular cartilage biology research and I teach the anatomy of the whole body. Knees are cool though.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this interesting topic, Please keep in mind you are teach young brains on how their body works THAT IS WONDERFUL and you should be so proud KNOWLEDGE is something that is to be shared.
Hey Sam, I'm wondering what the thought is behind stretching the ITB in a case of "runners knee". From what I have learned, studying sport injuries, the treatment would be more in line with complete rest from running, cold, NSAID and possibly manual therapy to relax the tissue instead of stretching.🧐
Wish you were closer..I'm in Odessa Tx..I've 🐝 thru so much and Drs here don't listen to what I have felt pop and hurting.they Don't check my tendons ect..
I am sorry sir but there is a mistake when you are speaking intertrochanteric space, it should be intercondyler notch or fossa. Cause as we are talking about distal end of femur !! right
HI Sam, thank you for your detailed explanations about the ligaments In the knee joints. I've been cycling for sometime. And now understand why I have pain on the inside of my knee joint. I'm 63 and love cycling. Any suggestions about how to repair this tear
so in a total knee replacement do they have to get rid of the meniscofemoral, menicotibial and transverse ligaments altogether? I'm having TKR within the month and am afraid to watch an actual surgery here on UA-cam but curiosity brought me here trying to understand the joint so I can gain knowledge to help me with recovery.
My left knee broken at 5/4 and I've had my leg in cast from sole to thigh since then, now is 5/26 and my right knee start to hurt at the lateral side, I am worry a lot, what is the possible problem to my right knee?
Given you history in cartilage research, do you have any insights into what's happening when one pops a joint (like the knee or a knuckle)? From what I had heard, it was still considered relatively unknown.
One idea is to do with gas coming out of solution in the joint (from the synovial fluid). It's a sealed space so when you stretch the joint the pressure drops and the gas forms bubbles maybe? Something crazy like that. Some clicks around joints are tendons sliding over other tendons or lumpy bits when under tension. The body makes lots of fun, strange noises.
Thank you again, Sam, for your invaluable help learning anatomy. And you connect it to so much other knowledge. I really wanted to send you a Christmas present- was trying to figure out how to send it to your medical school. Now I am self- quarantining due to COVID
thigh go landed on while sitting on floor with leg straight (hyper-extended pretty much?). Pop/snap in middle of knee rearward with no pain. still functional. What popped?
There is a bone of contention in the comments section as to whether this video is good or bad, some say it is bare bones, the others say it is as dry as a bone. For me it was like going down to the bone. Please don't make bones about it, the video is indeed good and to the bone. I know it in my bones that you all would love this video.😁
Thank you so much for this, it is incredibly useful. One issue I didn't fully understand was how all the parts work together to prevent twisting of the knee. None of the ligaments seem to counter twisting forces directly, am I right thinking that? Is it then the shape of the cartilages between the femur and the tibia stopping too much twist? Or is it more the patellofemoral groove with the patella nicely fitting in? (Asking because trochlear dysplasia goes through generations of the family with twisting injuries of the knee and I'm keen to understand as much of the mechanics as I can.)
Brilliant videos. I’m a little confused. Can you help please? In one video you say that in knees etc you don’t like the expression ‘wear and tear’ as you need to do weight bearing activity to make tendons / ligaments etc stronger but in this knee video you say that the meniscus is better removed because it doesn’t repair well? What am I missing? As these 2 statements seem contradictory to me.
Thank you. Tissues of the body generally respond to loading to adapt to that load. This applies to healthy muscles and articular cartilage even though they are very different tissues. But when articular cartilage or the meniscus in the knee are damaged they don't tend to repair well. That's the difference here.
Thank you Sam. You may find this interesting. I watched your coronary artery video (well all about the heart) and today my wife and I both had CAC scans done. She’s 50 and her score was zero. Mine was higher (I’m 55) but I noticed the LAD (which you explained brilliantly) was very calcified. I understood WHY that would be. My score was 635 and I’m a level 4 PT whose body fat % is great and I’m actually fit. So I’m going to do some dietary changes to assist lowering my score. I also have never smoked and I don’t drink. I do know what caused it but only realised 2 years ago. Thank you for truly brilliant videos.
Cheers. I’m hard of hearing so a look at the ear, bones etc would be fab by the way. Lastly, I’ve run a few half marathons, 10 milers etc so the running references always hit home!
@@optimalonlinecoach There's a bunch of ear videos and handily I just made a handful of playlists. See if this link works: ua-cam.com/play/PLSL-eqKP1SPEU-SZs88m3LjYCaZ_p7PBK.html
I’m here cause my knee feels weak & I’m having trouble with it. Lots of pain. I know it’s the muscles. I’m just trying to find answers & therefore solutions for myself
Thank you so much! Answered my question about light pain in Lateral condyle of the femur area after running, cycling or mountain hiking. So stretching is the solution. Would be nice to know what stretching help!
As a med student, you're an absolute lifesaver. Better than 90% of the teachers we have.
Somehow you don’t sounds boring at all talking anatomy , that’s why i am here. Please keep going! Thanks for sharing your teaching on UA-cam.
Science should never be boring. If a science teacher is boring they are not teaching it properly.
DrSpooglemon Well, sadly, most professors are good scientists but not good teachers because their main field is science and not teaching 😅 :(
im here for the same reason
cant agreeee moreee
