Back Ground: Platelet Rich Plasma is now being utilized for patients with tendinosis and arthritis. This treatment option in many instances has replaced the need for surgery. Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate if Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment of elbow tendinosis is associated with improved clinical outcomes with respect to pain, function and return to sports/ recrea...

BACKGROUND The Achilles tendon is composed of fascicles from the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, which are identifiable as discrete components at anatomical dissection. HYPOTHESIS The pattern of fascicular involvement in Achilles tendinopathy may be characterized at ultrasound, and this characterization is reliable between different observers. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional diagnostic study...

BACKGROUND Recent reviews have indicated that low level level laser therapy (LLLT) is ineffective in lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) without assessing validity of treatment procedures and doses or the influence of prior steroid injections. METHODS Systematic review with meta-analysis, with primary outcome measures of pain relief and/or global improvement and subgroup analyses of methodologic...

BACKGROUND The peritendinous connective tissues can have importance in chronic tendon pain. Recently cytokine TNF-α has been suggested to be involved in tendinopathic processes. It is not known how TNF-α and its receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2 are expressed in peritendinous tissues. METHODS The objective for this study was to immunohistochemically evaluate the expression patterns of these in the pe...

A case of complex paediatric elbow trauma, comprising of fracture lateral condyle associated with posterior dislocation of elbow is presented. Concomitant elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction under sedation, assessing the elbow stability under general anaesthesia along with lateral condylar fracture fixation using cannulated cancellous screw. The patient had an uneventful recovery ...

introduction there is very limited literature describing the association of lateral condyle mass (lcm) fracture of the distal humerus associated concurrently with olecranon fracture. herein, a case is reported of a displaced lcm fracture with displaced olecranon fracture, due to complex trauma while getting out of a vehicle, which was managed by open reduction and internal fixation. conclusions...

Simultaneous fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation is very rare injury in adults. Only a few cases have been reported in literature in pediatric age groups. The authors describe a case report of fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation in a young adult. The patient sustained injury in the form o...

BACKGROUND There is paucity of literature describing complex elbow trauma in the pediatric population. We described a case of an uncommon pediatric elbow injury comprised of lateral condyle fracture associated with posterolateral dislocation of elbow. CASE PRESENTATION A 12-year-old boy sustained a direct elbow trauma and presented with Milch type II lateral condyle fracture associated with p...
