Lateral epicondylitis: New trends and challenges in treatment.

Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a chronic aseptic inflammatory condition caused by repetitive microtrauma and excessive overload of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. This is the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain syndrome in the elbow, inducing significant pain and limitation of the function of the upper limb. It affects approximately 1-3% of the population and is frequently seen in racquet sports and sports associated with functional overload of the elbow, such as tennis, squash, gymnastics, acrobatics, fitness, and weight lifting.

Unusual case of the saphenous plexus in the thigh and why we should have borne this variation in mind.

Detailed knowledge of the anatomy and different variations of the saphenous nerve could be of great importance not only to anatomists but also to clinicians. There are very few studies of saphenous nerve morphology in thigh. Most of the reported variations of this nerve concern the infrapatellar branch.

Translation and Validation of the Bulgarian Version of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire.

Unlabelled: Background and Objective: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common mononeuropathy in humans. Despite the continuous improvement of diagnostic and treatment methods, difficulties remain in the evaluation and quantification of such symptoms as pain, paresthesias, hypesthesia, and hyperesthesia. Numerous tests and questionnaires have been developed for patients with upper limb disease, but the most specific for CTS and the most commonly used is the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ).

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Approaches in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Physical therapy involves a set of factors and methods that affect the biological processes in the body. It is widely used, relatively inexpensive, non-invasive, and easy to apply. Physiotherapy is also used in the treatment of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
