A feasibility study of home-based preoperative multimodal physiotherapy for patients scheduled for a total knee arthroplasty who catastrophize about their pain.

Background: Preoperative pain catastrophizing (PC) and pain are both risk factors for poor outcomes after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite that, there is limited evidence about physiotherapy interventions' effectiveness on addressing such factors.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and clinical impact of a home-based multimodal physiotherapy intervention in reducing pain and PC, in patients scheduled for a TKA who present preoperative moderate-to-severe pain and PC.

Location, Clinical Presentation, Diagnostic Algorithm and Open vs. Arthroscopic Surgery of Knee Synovial Haemangioma: A Report of Four Cases and a Literature Review.

The aim was to report 4 patients with intra-articular knee synovial haemangioma (KSH) and to perform a systematic review to describe the patient characteristics, patterns of tumor location, clinical presentation, usefulness of imaging examinations, pros and cons of arthroscopic vs. open resection, and follow-up in the literature. From 1996 to 2016, four patients with KSH were retrospectively reviewed.
