This means that individuals with such implants, often experience more frequent and significant inconveniences at airport security checkpoints.

Did you know? 💡 Your knee is held together by strong ligaments that help to connect the bones in your upper and lower legs and stabilise your joint. Those ligaments include the:

✔️ Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
✔️ Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
✔️ Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
✔️ Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
✔️ Posterolateral corner (PLC).

Lining the ends of the joint surfaces is cartilage, providing a smooth frictionless surface for movement. There are also two menisci (medial and lateral), which act as shock absorbers and stabilisers in the knee. 💥

Repair those muscles!

The process of muscle repair and regeneration consists of several stages, including degeneration, inflammation, regeneration, remodelling, and maturation. When it comes to larger muscles like the quadriceps or gluteal muscles, which are utilized in various sitting and standing movements, the recovery time may be longer.

What is the impact of pregnancy on your hip area?

When a woman's body gains additional weight, particularly centralised around her midsection, this can considerably increase the mechanical strain on both knee and hip joints. Combine this with joint looseness caused by altering hormone levels during pregnancy and you've got a recipe for severe discomfort in the hips.
