Management of Severe Elbow Arthritis in a Young Patient
The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the elbow is an essential static stabilizer against varus and posterolateral rotatory forces. It is hypothesized that injury to the LCL might impair elbow proprioception, although direct evidence for this impairment remains limited and warrants further investigation. This study aimed to describe the morphology and distribution of mechanoreceptors and free nerve endings within the LCL.
Quadriceps and hamstring muscles strength differences in adolescent and adult recreational athletes 6 months after autograft bone-patellar-tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A retrospective study
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are crucial in evaluating the success of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to determine the individual significance of each question of the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Veterans RAND 12 (VR-12) Mental Composite Score (MCS) in achieving a Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS).
Steps for Treating a Deep Cut Finger
Treating a deep cut on your finger may require medical help if there is damage to the skin, tendons, ligaments, or bone. Other minor injuries, like shallow paper cuts, can quickly be treated at home with basic first aid.
SLAP Tear of the Shoulder
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage rim that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. SLAP stands for "superior labrum anterior and posterior," meaning that the tear occurs at the front of the upper arm where the bicep tendon connects to the shoulder.
Metformin Reduces Knee Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis With Overweight, Obesity
Metformin was associated with significant improvements in knee pain, stiffness, and function among patients with knee osteoarthritis and overweight or obesity.
Top 12 Home Remedies for Nerve Pain (Neuropathy) in the Feet
Home remedies can support medications and specialist procedures commonly used to treat nerve pain in the feet, known as peripheral neuropathy.1 These include therapeutic foot baths, compression socks, foot massage, topical pain relievers, and simple rest.
Outcomes and challenges in the surgical treatment of trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations: A case series study
Transolecranon fracture-dislocations represent a complex subset of elbow injuries characterized by concomitant fractures of the olecranon, coronoid process, and radial head, often associated with posterior dislocation. These injuries pose significant surgical challenges due to their inherent instability and high risk of poor functional outcomes. Despite previous studies describing different fixation techniques, there is no standardized surgical protocol to optimize outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results of a structured surgical approach in the management of these injuries.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Diagnosis, Nonsurgical Medical Care, and Rehabilitation: A Clinical Practice Guideline
This evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) aims to guide clinicians with recommendations covering the assessment, treatment, and prognosis of adults with shoulder pain with suspected rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, the nonsurgical medical care and rehabilitation of adults with RC tendinopathy, as well as the return to function and sport for elite and recreational athletes.
Physical Therapy Exercise Program After a Colles' Fracture
If you have fallen onto an outstretched hand (or a FOOSH injury), then you may have suffered a Colles' fracture. A Colles' fracture a break in the radius bone of the forearm, very close to the wrist joint. It typically requires surgery to reduce or set the bones. You may have a long period of immobilization in a cast or splint after the injury.
Causes of Blisters on Toes and What to Do About Them
A blister on the toe is a fluid-filled pocket that often develops due to friction. Blisters can be caused by insect bites, allergies, burns, skin infections, autoimmune diseases, and excessive exposure to sun or moisture.
