Background: Hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans have shown positive effects in improving lateral epicondylitis and other tendinosis conditions. Therefore, we designed a prospective, randomized study to compare the effects of a combined sodium hyaluronate and chondroitin sulfate (HA + CS) injection versus a triamcinolone injection in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
Methods: In total, 57 consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed lateral epicondylitis were divided randomly into two groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of core decompression and vascular pedicled iliac crest grafting in treating avascular necrosis of the femur head (ANFH) in 22 patients.
- Most patients had a history of steroid use, and clinical outcomes were measured using the Harris hip score and radiological ARCO staging.
- Results showed significant improvement in hip scores post-surgery, with 69% of hips achieving excellent or good outcomes, highlighting the treatment's effectiveness in early-stage ANFH.
