Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Biomechanics: Ulnar Collateral Ligament

I've posted the first real content at my new site (which is still a little bit under construction), TexasLeaguers.com.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with site memberships, but for the meantime, assuming Adam doesn't mind, I'd like to use the space here as a feedback thread.

I plan to do a lot of things in this same area.

I want to look at the causes of the major injuries (UCL tears, labrum tears, bone chips, etc.), but what I’m concerned with is getting it all on a level where it can be understood without staring at research papers and dictionaries for hours a day.

For anyone reading this, please have a look and let me know what I can do to better illustrate and illuminate future articles.

I think a lot of medical terms (lateral, medial, distal, etc.)...

need common word references as well. In general, any technical term should be defined in-line thusly (forgive any BS in the sentence, as I only intend it for a style example):

Rotating the forearm in towards the body (pronation) can decrease the risk of elbow injury

But that’s just one part-time tech writer’s opinion. I realize this could drastically lengthen your articles, so perhaps it would suffice to add the common words to the definitions you already have in place.

Thanks.

I put the glossary links in the article for the bigger terms (and will continue to do so in the future) for just that reason. Pronation was specifically one of these terms.

In some places, lateral and medial are described in-line (within the glossary), but I’m pretty sure I haven’t done so for distal and proximal.

Are there other specific examples?

Thanks, it helps.

Valgus and Varus each have 3 entries in the glossary.

Am I misunderstanding your request?

Err, sorry

I wasn’t quite clear here. I meant to say that both Valgus Force and Varus Force use the terms lateral and medial, but don’t link to a definition or explain the terms in the entries themselves.
