Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a common leg injury in military personnel and athletes and is especially related to running and jumping. A patient-reported outcome measure, the MTSS score, was developed to determine the severity of MTSS.
Purpose: To translate, culturally adapt, and validate the MTSS score for the Turkish language.
Article Synopsis
- * A 30-year-old amateur soccer player with chronic OP explored ozone therapy after six months of ineffective conventional treatment, receiving ozone injections at ten-day intervals.

Objective: Stress fractures are common in highly active people, such as athletes or those in the military. They occur frequently in the lower extremities but sternal stress fractures are rare injuries.
Methods: We present a case of a young male who reported no pain and a 'click' sound from the front of the chest while training with parallel bar dips with a grip that was wider than shoulder-width apart.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the efficacy of the eccentric exercise (EE) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy and evaluate the efficacy of these treatment modalities on tendon thickness, vascularity, and elasticity.
Patients And Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, a total of 63 patients (40 females, 23 males; mean age: 37.3±12.
Purpose: To evaluate the trophic changes in rectus abdominis and psoas muscles in patients who underwent open or laparoscopic rectum resection for rectal cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed preoperative staging computerized tomographies (CT) and postoperative first oncological follow-up CTs of the patients who underwent low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer from 2010 through 2015. We measured cross-sectional area of left and right rectus abdominis muscles from two levels (above and below umbilicus) where they are widest and psoas muscle at mid-level of the fourth lumbar vertebral body in axial CT images and compared preoperative and postoperative measurements.
