Pseudo-Sciatica Pain Due to a Biceps Femoris Muscle Tear.

Hamstring injuries (HSIs) are common among athletes, particularly in high-speed sports, and are frequently associated with prolonged recovery periods and a high recurrence rate. This study presents a 36-year-old male with sciatica-like symptoms following an acute hamstring tear during an amateur football match. The patient experienced this pain two weeks after the injury, suggesting potential sciatic nerve involvement.

Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation for Chronic Hip Pain Due to Osteoarthritis.

Background And Aims: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) has a prevalence of 2.9% in Portugal and is a related cause of pain and disability.

Suprascapular Nerve Pulsed Radiofrequency as an Effective Pain Relief Strategy in Supraspinatus Muscle Tendon Tears.

Introduction: The supraspinatus muscle tendon is the most frequently rotator cuff muscle torn. Reliable shoulder pain relief strategies are needed for patients with severe pain, refractory to conservative management, and without surgical indication.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis in a Portuguese reference Rehabilitation Centre during the 1st of January 2020 and the 30th of June 2021, including all patients with partial or complete supraspinatus tendon tear, older than 50 years, who presented with severe pain and who were submitted to suprascapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency.

Plantar Fascia Lateral Fascicle Rupture: How Severe Can It Be?

The is a thick and strong group of longitudinal and transverse bands of collagen-rich tissue, consisting of central, medial, and lateral fascicles. Biomechanically, the central fascicle assumes a special role in medial longitudinal foot arch preservation. However, there is scarce data on medial and lateral fascicles' anatomy and pathology in the literature.
