The efficacy and cost-effectiveness of arthroscopic release for post-traumatic elbow stiffness: a single centre prospective randomized trial
Post-traumatic elbow stiffness (PTES) severely limits elbow function, often necessitating surgical intervention after conservative measures fail. Although open arthrolysis (OA) is traditionally preferred, arthroscopic release (AR), being less invasive, could offer comparable or superior clinical outcomes with potentially lower complication rates.
What Is Rotator Cuff Pain?
Rotator cuff pain is felt at the front and side of your shoulder and upper arm. Pain in this area often indicates injured, inflamed, or worn-down tendons in the rotator cuff.
The 4 Stages of Frozen Shoulder
A frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a very common cause of shoulder pain. Frozen shoulder can take a long time to heal, anywhere from six months to 2 years. The four stages of frozen shoulder include pre-freezing, freezing, frozen, and thawing. These terms describe the typical progression of the condition from early symptoms to recovery.
Non-traumatic Medial-Sided Elbow Pain: A Comprehensive Review of Etiologies, Diagnostic Strategies, and Treatment Approaches
Medial elbow pain is a rare and often underrecognized condition. In non-traumatic cases, such as medial epicondylitis (ME), ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, snapping medial triceps, and posteromedial impingement, the clinical presentations are often similar, making diagnosis challenging. This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence regarding the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for non-traumatic medial elbow pain.
Traumatic Versus Atraumatic Causes of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Pathophysiology and Outcomes
Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder caused by traumatic or atraumatic factors, resulting in pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life. This systematic review aimed to summarize the pathophysiology, anatomical changes, and functional outcomes of traumatic versus atraumatic SIS.
