Colored powder that gets thrown around during these races is actually cornstarch colored with FDA-approved food dye, according to the Color Run website. It states: âOur fabulous shine powder is more like make-up and is completely safe and even more precisely thrown on the lower half of your body [sic].â1. Even though the website specifies the powder goes on the lower half of the body, I am sure the cornstarch is getting inhaled as well.
Knee MRI, sagittal plane. Tha plane of imaging is just medial to the knee midline. The course of the posterior cruciate ligament is well seen, from the lateral surface of the medial femoral condyle to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia. Note the stripe of high intensity signal between the quadriceps femoris tendon and the distal femur.
Initial Graft Tension and ACL Surgery. This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of four strong ligaments connecting the bones of the knee joint. If overstretched, the ACL can tear. Reconstruction of a torn ACL is now a common surgical procedure. The amount of tension applied to the ACL during reconstruction may indirectly affect the possible onset of arthritis over time. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of initial graft tension set during ACL reconstruction surgery on the progression of knee arthritis over at least a 12-year period.
