Tendons connect muscle to bone. Is it possible to have any sort of surgery on tendons? I guess that might solve cracking joints?

I know someone who's uncle had his tendons cut and sewn back together without anaesthetic to make him stop cracking. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top bod8 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:30 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly Really?

However i do know that the reason why your fingers curl in is because you weaken the tendons so the fingers are pulled taut. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top bod8 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:33 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly wow joints etc. are so complex - i should've become a doctor / surgeon, i'd be so rich lol Back to top Blaze Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:37 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Lol my dad's friend is a high flyer doctor and told me not to be a doctor - always work and people always ill lol. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top bod8 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:44 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly I bet he drives around in a Mercedes lol Back to top Blaze Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:48 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Nope - he is very down to earth. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top bod8 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:49 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly Cool Back to top MasterCracker Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 10:39 am    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Feb 16, 2008 Posts: 300 Location: Cali Since there are tendons running down your hands nearly to your finger tips on both the anterior/palm side of your hand and the posterior/top side of your hand If your fingers curl toward your palm(like everyones do when relaxed) it means the tendons on top/posterior surface are Flexible and the ones on the palm/anterior side are tight ( how often do you have your fingers extended(pulled back) or hyper extended(pulled back far) to have flexibility in those tendons??) Imagine if everyone's fingers just sprung back after curling them. You would then be struggling to curl/flex your fingers Blaze: As for your weak tendons theory , I struggle to swallow it at all. I tried to find any info on google or yahoo about 'weak tendons" and all they mention are treatments to injury, age and arthritis. Of course disease like arthritis can weaken tendons and after an injury tendons need time to heal, where you could call them 'weak' and...Also age, can make Everything weaker, depending on circumstance. For a tendon to be injury prone or weak it would be from LACK of movement + exercise that would make the ROM tiny and the fibers tight and ready to tear easier. None of us crackers have made our tendons weak or our fingers curled by cracking. If anything we have made our tendons flexible w greater ROM and more resistant to a tear or injury. Think about it. Then Please bring some rational support to the 'weak tendon' theory. or stop scaring us with it so we can all learn together Real Facts, proof, where did you get it in your head from? or your unlearning us at the place we came to learn, brother[/quote] Back to top Blaze Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:43 pm    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden MasterCracker wrote: Since there are tendons running down your hands nearly to your finger tips on both the anterior/palm side of your hand and the posterior/top side of your hand If your fingers curl toward your palm(like everyones do when relaxed) it means the tendons on top/posterior surface are Flexible and the ones on the palm/anterior side are tight ( how often do you have your fingers extended(pulled back) or hyper extended(pulled back far) to have flexibility in those tendons??)

So, i don't understand how that is not fact. Also, GP's i know have said this can happen and that even one of their mums has had their fingers curl in. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top bod8 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:09 pm    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly I think I'm gonna do some more research on this, it seems really interesting.. Back to top MasterCracker Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2008 4:05 am    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Feb 16, 2008 Posts: 300 Location: Cali I agree it's interesting. I find anatomy fascinating. And a broad subject w LOTS of info And thats why were here to understand the crack factor which there is NOT a lot of info about and there is contradicting info also BUT... telling us someone you know's Unlce 'something or other' is pretty much 'Hearsay' It doesn't stand in a court of law as proof and it is lame at best for a debate but to twist it into fact is how 'old wives tales' get started and part of the issue of cracking and weather or not it's Perfectly Normal or horribly bad is 'old wives tales' accepted as fact w no proof. Like "cracking your knuckles give you arthritis" B.S. Your GP's mom???? How old do you think she was? 70 maybe ? Blaze by that time your fingers curling would just be a Another sign of age, and probably normal. Muscle and bone density and posture drastically change when your that old(old enough to have a son that is a GP). Thats why you need exercise and stretching and still age will take it's toll on you. As I mentioned senior could have 'weak tendons" but they would have weak everything, like bones, muscles, immune system etc. Blaze:I got the tendon thing when the person had them cut from someone i know who's uncle cracked for ages. I still don't understand. This sentence makes no sense. And I honestly would like to know how/where you got the weak tendon theory. I'm not on your case I'm just trying to understand and learn more in the process. and hope you are learning more too. I've have gained a bunch of knowledge since I joined this site. Hope you have 2.

Doesn't matter in old age either - things in earlier life could be helping and i know another person who has had it. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top MasterCracker Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2008 4:27 am    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Feb 16, 2008 Posts: 300 Location: Cali as long as were straight on hearsay and fact. you still have given no facts about "weak tendons' and for the old age thing your right, I agree if you stretch and take care of yourself you won't have to worry as much about 'weak tendons' when your older you could be 70 and healthy and flexible or like BKS Iyengar who will be 90 this Dec: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eEFlYVff4Q empirical fact>preliminary knowledge Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First     Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next Page 1 of 3 Jointcrackers Forum Index » Joints in general » Tendons Jump to: Select a forum General----------------Feedback & suggestionsOff-TopicHelp Joint Cracking----------------IntroductionsJoints in generalJoint cracking Medical----------------SymptomsDiagnosisCausesTreatment  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum DAJ Glass (1.0.5) template by Dustin Baccetti EQ graphic based off of a design from www.freeclipart.nu Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group Forums © All logos and trademarks in this site are property of their respective owner.
