Litzmann's asynclitism

Posterior knee asynclitism is a pathological condition that occurs due to deviation of the body of the tibia relative to the femur. Normally, the tibia and femur are in a strictly defined relationship, provided for by the anatomical norm. In simple words, they connect, forming the so-called axial skeleton or axis of the body, which has been touched by so many people that for some reason they more often remember Descartes and the ancient Greeks, forgetting humanity and the physical laws of the cosmos. Asynclism does not form spontaneously; it has specific causes and treatment. The main causes of asynclism. One of the main reasons for asynclism is that the disorder occurs in the skeletal system. To avoid such a situation, we must do everything possible to save and restore the joint. For this purpose, endoprosthetics and physical therapy are performed: a set of exercises is performed in a sitting or lying position. Helps strengthen the osseous-ligamentous system: perform special exercises for the hip joint, involving the gluteal muscles, thigh muscles, lower back, and chest area. Strengthen stabilizers.

**Asynclitism of the posterior or anterior knee** is a pathological curvature of the lower limb in which the femur becomes convex due to displacement of the proximal part, most often the femur. The severity of the condition is determined by the angle of curvature, expressed in degrees. Accordingly, relative to the straightened position, the leg can bend more than 5°, which is a state of curvature of up to 25°-30°.

In the context of medicine and orthopedics, the term refers to the “prolapse” (translated from the ancient Greek - “slipping”) of the knee onto the front of the pelvis. In response to the influence of negative force from the outside (pushes, unsuccessful landing on the leg), the inner side of the knee joint, due to dislocation of the femur, slides from the pelvic bone to the upper surface of the tibia of the same name. This phenomenon is called asynclinoid (the literal translation is ambiguous) or asyncliosis of the anterior knee. The opposite condition, asyncliffia (syncalgia), is considered to be a defect in the hip joint that accompanies weakening of the bones.

The curvature occurs predominantly in weak hip joints that are not adapted to axial loads, such as the legs of teenagers or the elderly. As a consequence, constant displacement of joint elements in the frontal plane causes chronic injury to the sacroiliac joint.
