Endoscopic fascia lata release for treatment of gluteal tendinopathy: a prospective study with a follow-up of 6 months to 1 year.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is clinically defined as greater trochanter pain with mechanical characteristics. The most common diagnosis is gluteal tendinopathy. Most cases of gluteal tendinopathy resolve with conservative management.

Percutaneous plantar fasciotomy: radiological evolution of medial longitudinal arch and clinical results after one year.

Purpose: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of plantar heel pain. Conservative treatment and corrections of risks factors are the first line of care. For the 10% of patients who do not respond to conservative treatment, surgical release can offer relief of symptoms.

Vitamin C prevention of complex regional pain syndrome after foot and ankle surgery: a prospective randomized study of three hundred and twenty nine patients.

Purpose: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after foot and ankle surgery has a significant impact on the ability to walk. As the symptomatic treatment of this disaster complication is poor and has low efficacy, a preventive treatment would be beneficial. Vitamin C has been reported to be efficient in preventing CRPS in elective scheduled surgery.

Surgical repair of a tibialis anterior tendon rupture : a case report.

A 61-year-old man who stretched in the morning presented a rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon treated by extensor hallucis longus transfer. Rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon is rare. Surgical treatment seems to be more efficient in improving the function.

A rare cause of sciatica: Sciatic nerve schwannoma - Report of one case with long subclinical course and misleading presentation.

The authors report one case of schwannoma located in the sciatic nerve, just above the popliteal fossa. A sciatic localization is rare, observed in 1% of the patients. The misleading clinical presentation of this localization causes a delay in diagnosis.

Bilateral Simultaneous Femoral Neck Stress Fracture Despite Clinical Recovery from Anorexia Nervosa: A Case Report.

Case: A 38-year-old woman who had returned to sports activity (running) after having clinically recovered from anorexia nervosa presented with a bilateral femoral neck stress fracture that was treated with bilateral hip osteosynthesis.

Conclusion: Although exercise is usually considered to be beneficial for health, heavy exercise (such as running) after recovery from anorexia nervosa may be associated with an increased risk of fracture.

Is percutaneous repair of the Achilles tendon a safe technique? A study of 124 cases.

Ma and Griffith first described in 1977 a percutaneous technique for the repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture. In 1992, Delponte popularised a new percutaneous technique with Tenolig. The authors report a series of 124 cases of Achilles tendon rupture treated with Tenolig in their institution from 1993 to 1998.
