An Isolated Gluteus Minimus Tendon Tear with Stress Fracture of the Iliac Wing in a Marathon Runner: A case report.

Stress fractures and muscle strains are common in marathon runners. Most stress fractures occur in lower extremities and tibia stress fractures comprise almost half. Iliac wing stress fractures are not commonly found in runners and are usually related to osteoporosis.

Does Injection Site Matter? A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Different Entry Site Efficacy of Knee Intra-articular Injections.

Background: Complaints of knee pain secondary to early osteoarthritis may account for up to 30% of visits to primary care physicians. Due to the proposed inflammatory changes in early osteoarthritis, intra-articular injections of corticosteroids (IACS) have been considered as an option for disease progression modification, pain control, and improvement of function. However, some studies have suggested poor accuracy rates of IA injections depending on the entry site chosen.

Sonographically guided popliteus tendon sheath injection: techniques and accuracy.

Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to describe two sonographically guided popliteus tendon sheath injection techniques and determine their accuracy in a cadaveric model.

Methods: A single experienced operator completed 24 sonographically guided popliteus tendon sheath injections, 12 using a longitudinal approach and 12 using a transverse approach relative to the tendon. The injection order was randomized, and all injections were completed with diluted colored latex.
