Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a rising therapy treating locomotor system lesions such as knee osteoarthritis. The objective of this study was to evaluate patients' satisfaction 6 to 12 months after a PRP injection for cartilage lesions of their knee under real-life conditions. Patients' satisfaction was assessed by a specific questionnaire named SATMED-Q©, which explores six different dimensions of a given treatment.

- - Chronic low back pain (cLBP) significantly affects public health and has a major economic and social impact, leading to a review of current international guidelines on its management.
- - Eight international guidelines from 2018 to 2021 recommend assessing risk factors ("flags") for chronicity in diagnosis and emphasize non-pharmacological treatments, such as exercise and physiotherapy, as primary management strategies.
- - Multimodal management combining both non-pharmacological and pharmacological options is advised, though the precision of diagnosis remains an issue, highlighting a need for research on personalized treatment approaches.
The aim of this paper was to describe the development of 'Traum'cast', an ambitious project to create a high-quality, open-access, 12-week video podcast programme providing evidence-based continuing medical education for civilian and military healthcare practitioners dedicated to the management of trauma caused by weapons of war. The management of such patients became a particular public health issue in France following the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, which highlighted the need for all healthcare professionals to have appropriate knowledge and training in such situations. In 2016, the French Health General Direction asked the French Military Medical Service (FMMS) to create a task force and to use its unique and considerable experience to produce high-quality educational material on key themes including war injuries, combat casualty care, triage, damage control surgery, transfusion strategies, psychological injury and rehabilitation.

Objective: We aimed to determine the core qualities an educational program should have to reduce erroneous fears and beliefs about LBP among GPs.
Purpose: This study aims to describe the spinopelvic sagittal alignment in transfemoral amputees (TFAs) from a radiologic study of the spine with a postural approach to better understand the high prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in this population.
Methods: TFAs underwent X-rays with 3-D reconstructions of the full spine and pelvis. Sagittal parameters were analyzed and compared to the literature.
Rehabilitation after a war injury. Combat wounds can be the cause of serious physical and mental trauma. Injuries caused by the explosion of improvised devices are responsible for multiple penetrating injuries, limb amputations, brain or spinal-cord injuries, and sometimes severe burns.
