You call your doctor, describe your symptoms, he prescribes antibiotics, and thatâs the end of it. Itâs not so easy with dogs. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urinary tract stones are common in dogs. Because these conditions can be painful, it's important to know what to watch for in your dog. When dogs get UTIs, they may strain or have difficulty urinating, it may be painful for them to urinate, and they may have blood in their urine.
The knee joint is basically a hinge joint thus the primary movements are flexion and extension. However, it also allows a certain degree of rotation. The range of rotation is considerable when the knee joint is flexed to a right angle. It this position, the tibia can also be moved forward and backward passively.
The knee joint bears most of the weight of the body. When weâre sitting, the tibia and femur barely touch; standing they lock together to form a stable unit. Letâs look at a normal knee joint to understand how the parts (anatomy) work together (function) and how knee problems can occur.he knee joint bears most of the weight of the body.
