Advanced conservative treatment of complete acute rupture of the lateral ankle ligaments: Verifying by stabilometry.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the result of the specific conservative treatment of acute lateral ankle ligaments rupture and verify the effect of this therapy by stabilometry.

Methods: 17 young athletes were examined after acute lateral ankle sprain (grade III). Diagnosis was based on musculoskeletal ultrasound examinations.

Acute pain: a multifaceted challenge - the role of nimesulide.

Background: This article summarizes the outcome from an international consensus meeting, which took place in Vienna on 4 November 2014.

Scope: The aim of the meeting was to provide the state of the art on the pathophysiology and treatment of acute pain with special emphasis on nimesulide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indicated for the treatment of acute pain and primary dysmenorrhea. Besides the data on the mechanisms of acute inflammatory pain and on the efficacy and safety of nimesulide in patients affected by different forms of acute pain, the clinical experience of attending experts was discussed based on selected case reports.

[3D ultrasonography for examination of the musculoskeletal system].

Three-dimensional (3D) sonography is the next logical step in diagnostic ultrasound examination. The true value of 3D ultrasonography, however, becomes evident only if 3D structures can be assessed without preconceptions ensuing from 2D interpretations. 3D ultrasonography can greatly improve our understanding of locomotor apparatus anatomy and pathology.
