Outcomes of Platelet-Rich Plasma Infiltration and Weightbearing Cast Immobilization in Distal Tibialis Anterior Tendinopathy: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Distal tibialis anterior tendinopathy (DTAT) is a chronic condition that may lead to functional impairment and secondary forefoot deformities when left untreated. Current clinical practice is mainly guided by case reports and small retrospective case series; little consensus exists on which treatment protocol is most effective. This study aims to assess a conservative treatment for DTAT consisting of PRP infiltration and walking cast immobilization.

Bone marrow oedema syndrome of the foot and ankle in a paediatric population: a retrospective case series with serial MRI evaluation.

Purpose: By means of a case series we wanted to describe and correlate the clinical and imaging features of bone marrow oedema syndrome (BMOS) of the foot and ankle in children.

Methods: A retrospective data study was performed on patients born on or after 01 January 2001 who underwent multiple MRI scans of the foot and ankle for pain symptoms. Six patients who presented with increased signal intensity on T2-weighted MR imaging without any underlying causes or concomitant pathology were included.

Arthroscopic psoas release for iliopsoas impingement after total hip replacement.

Psoas impingement is a rare cause of persisting pain after hip arthroplasty. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination and exclusion of other complications after arthroplasty by radiographs, ultrasound, CT and blood analysis. The diagnosis is strongly supported by temporary pain relief after infiltration.

The McHale procedure in the treatment of the painful chronically dislocated hip in adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy.

We retrospectively studied the results achieved in adolescent and adult patients with cerebral palsy, following management of chronically painful dislocated hips with the McHale procedure. Thirteen patients with seventeen procedures were included in the study. The indication for surgery was pain in all patients.
