Background: Newly symptomatic chronic musculoskeletal illness is often misinterpreted as new pathology, particularly when symptoms are first noticed after an event. In this study, we were interested in the accuracy and reliability of identifying the symptomatic knee based on bilateral MRI reports.
Methods: We selected a consecutive sample of 30 occupational injury claimants, presenting with unilateral knee symptoms who had bilateral MRI on the same date.
Background: Written communication can convey one's emotions, personality, and sentiments. Radiology reports employ medical jargon and serve to document a patients' condition. Patients might misinterpret this medical jargon in a way that increases their anxiety and makes them feel unwell.

Decision-making and care strategies could be informed by a better understanding of factors associated with surgeon recommendations for electrodiagnostic testing.
Methods: Ninety-one upper-extremity surgeons participated in an online, survey-based experiment.
Study Design: An experimental model study and a short review of literature.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore a new hypothesis suggesting that the curvatures seen in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) originate from restrained differential growth between the vertebral column and the surrounding musculo-ligamentary structures.
Summary Of Background Data: Despite decades of research, there is no generally accepted theory on the physical origin of the severe spinal deformations seen in AIS.
