Ultrasound-Guided Exercise Therapy Targeting the Supinator and Its Radial Nerve Branch for Refractory Lateral Elbow Pain: A Case Series
Lateral epicondylitis is commonly attributed to tendinopathy of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB). Although eccentric exercises, prolotherapy, and percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (PUT) are frequently used, a subset of patients experience persistent pain. The potential contributions of the supinator muscle and its radial nerve branch to rehabilitation have not been adequately explored.
Shoulder Impingement Pain Syndrome: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and a Review of Current Treatment Strategies
The shoulder is an intricate joint, capable of a wide range of movements for both daily activities and physical exercise. This intricate joint is susceptible to various injuries and conditions due to its design. Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), also clinically recognized as subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS), is a prevalent source of shoulder discomfort, which is a spectrum of disorders such as rotator cuff tendinopathy, partial or complete tears, and inflammation of the subacromial bursa.
What to know about deltoid pain
The deltoid is a large muscle responsible for lifting the arm and giving the shoulder its range of motion. Pain in this area may be due to issues like overuse or injury.
Gracilis Free Flap Technique for Elbow Flexion Reconstruction
Brachial plexus injuries (BPI) can be devastating for patients, often resulting in notable physical, psychological, and socioeconomic distress. To improve activities of daily living, the treatment of pan-plexus injuries focuses on restoring antigravity motion of the upper extremity, with elbow flexion being a high priority muscle group2. Although nerve transfers are an excellent option, this treatment path is not always viable. In such cases, free functioning muscle transfers, especially gracilis transfers, have emerged as a primary reconstructive approach, with excellent outcomes in complete BPI lesions.
Frozen Shoulder and Menopause: Is There a Link?
Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining joint health and flexibility. A 2024 review suggests that reduced estrogen levels can lead to increased inflammation and changes in the connective tissues, which could make you more susceptible to conditions like frozen shoulder.
