Arthroscopic surgery versus open surgery for lateral epicondylitis in an active work population: a comparative study.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is common in workers who perform repetitive movements of the entire upper limb. Approximately 85%-90% of patients respond satisfactorily to conservative treatment, but in resistant patients, surgical treatment is considered. Classic open surgery is successful in between 70% and 97% of patients, similarly to more modern techniques such as arthroscopy.

Results of surgical treatment of acromioclavicular dislocations type III using modified Weaver Dunn technique.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of the surgical treatment of type III acromioclavicular dislocations using the Weaver-Dunn technique in the delayed phase.

Material And Method: A non-randomised controlled retrospective observational study of 38 patients operated between January 2006 and December 2014. We excluded 10 patients due to death or non-localisation.

[Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease: analysis of the associated factors].

Aim: To analyse the clinical symptoms, aetiology and biomechanical aspects related to Sinding-Larsen-Johansson (SLJ) disease.

Material And Method: A case control study was conducted, analysing the following variables: age, gender, clinical follow up, side of body with the symptoms, sporting activity, radiological stage, presence of patella alta, presence of short hamstring tendons, and increased posterior tibial slope.

Results: A total of 15 knees in 14 patients were studied; one case with bilateral disease.
