After a surgical release of adhered nongliding tendons, early active mobilization is encouraged to prevent the reformation of unfavorable adhesions that would limit functional tendon excursion. These restricting adhesions can also occur in non-synovial regions, such as within the flexor mass in the forearm. A "myolysis," or release of muscle fibers from tethering adhesions, can be performed surgically to restore the muscle's gliding and lengthening properties. Postoperative management consists of treatment techniques that include low-load prolonged stress, differential tendon gliding, and active-resistive exercises, all of which are effective in restoring and maximizing a patient's active and passive range of motion to allow optimal mobility and performance. This case study demonstrates the successful management of a patient following a surgical myolysis, utilizing treatment techniques conceptually derived from postoperative tenolysis rehabilitation.

Background: Disparities in labor epidural analgesia (LEA) management could reduce maternal satisfaction and increase risk. We compared times from the first administration of breakthrough pain medication (top-up) to LEA replacement to evaluate disparities across race.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study (01-01-2018 to 12-31-2022), all patients with LEA and maternal race/ethnicity of non-Hispanic White or Black were eligible.

» Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing shoulder arthroplasty (SA) have a unique risk profile, which must be considered by clinicians.» The presence of DM as a comorbidity is associated with longer length of stay following SA, greater likelihood of nonhome discharge, and a higher rate of 90-day readmission.» Though the incidence is low, patients with DM are at an increased risk of serious postoperative cardiovascular complications, such as pulmonary embolism, venous thromboembolism, and myocardial infarction.

Female genital prolapse, especially apical prolapse, significantly affects women's health and quality of life. Sacrospinous hysteropexy is a widely used surgical procedure to address this condition, presenting few postoperative complications. However, one of the reported complications is neuropathic pain resulting from damage to the branches of the pudendal nerve.
