Rationale: The nonunion of olecranon fractures is uncommon in simple fractures, and it is challenging to treat surgically due to the disruption of the anatomy of the elbow joint. There is limited literature on surgical options, and several factors to determine the treatment, including the amount and quality of bone stock, age, and degree of articular damage.
Patient Concerns: A 58-year-old man presented at the clinic with neglected olecranon fracture for 1 year (case 1).
(1) Background: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a minimally invasive oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages for the treatment of lumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis. (2) Methods: Fifty-one patients with single-level lumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: anterior lumbar interbody fusion with a tri-cortical iliac bone graft (ALIF+ tri-cortical iliac bone graft) (n = 28) and OLIF using PEEK cages with an autologous bone graft (OLIF+ PEEK cages) (n = 23).

Medical records of all patients in terms of preoperative details, operative findings, and postoperative outcomes at 1 year after the surgery were retrieved.

- Extensor muscle strengthening exercises (EX) are a common treatment for lateral epicondylitis (LE), with recent additions of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) injections and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).
- A study with 63 chronic LE patients divided into three groups showed that those receiving EX with PDRN had the best improvements in pain and elbow function scores at 6 and 12 weeks.
- The combination of PDRN injections and EX resulted in better ultrasound findings of the common extensor tendon compared to EX alone or EX with ESWT, indicating a superior treatment method for LE.
