Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of SLAP lesions in patients with chronic impingement syndrome. We also examined the sensitivity of O'Brien's test.
Materials And Methods: The study included 48 patients with a preliminary chronic impingement syndrome diagnosis to whom arthroscopic decompression had been planned. All patients underwent preoperative Neer's, Hawkins' and O'Brien's tests. We performed shoulder arthroscopy on all patients and evaluated chronic impingement syndrome and SLAP lesions. Then, we compared the statistical sensitivities of these tests.
Results: The mean age of patients with chronic impingement was 45.8 years (range, 35-69 years). O'brien's test was positive in 34 (70.8%) of the patients, and Neer's test and Hawkins' test were positive in 46 (95.8%) of the patients before shoulder arthroscopy. Shoulder arthroscopy revealed that 44 (91.7%) of 48 patients had subacromial impingement; 32 (66.7%) had SLAP lesions and internal impingement. In chronic impingement syndrome, sensitivity rates were 95.6% for Neer's test and Hawkins' test, whereas in internal impingement syndrome and slap lesions, the sensitivity of O'brien's test was 94.1%. There was no statistical difference between the tests (p>0.05).
Conclusion: 72.72% of the patients with chronic impingement syndrome had concomitant SLAP lesions. We suggest that O'Brien's test should be used with Neer's and Hawkins' tests for diagnosis of this condition.

Comprehensive Analysis of Minimally Invasive Management for Persistent Anterolateral Ankle Pain: A Systematic Review.
Cureus

Trauma and Orthopaedics, Royal Devon and Exeter University Hospital, Devon, GBR.
Persistent anterolateral ankle pain is a debilitating condition often associated with soft tissue impingement following inversion injuries. It can lead to significant limitations in daily activities and overall quality of life, particularly in individuals with chronic ankle instability. This systematic review examines the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive arthroscopic decompression techniques in managing anterolateral ankle impingement syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Acetabular chondrolabral delamination (ACD) is a prevalent hip injury with few effective treatments; this study explored the use of PLGA conical nail fixation as a potential method.
- The experiment involved 24 pigs with surgically induced ACD, divided into three groups: a control (no treatment), an acute fixation group using PLGA nails, and a chronic fixation group using spacers before PLGA nails.
- Results indicated that the pigs in the acute fixation group showed significantly better cartilage regeneration and proteoglycan deposition compared to the control and chronic groups, suggesting PLGA nails are effective for treating ACD.
Popliteal Neurovascular Bundle Medialization and Axial Flap Rotation to Avoid Bone Impingement in Tibial Turn-up Plasty: A Case Report.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)

A 33-year-old male patient developed distal femur chronic osteomyelitis with massive bone loss after an open grade-3b fracture. Following several failed treatments to eradicate infection, a tibial turn-up procedure was performed to provide a stable and functional stump. To avoid neurovascular problems, the popliteal vessels and sciatic nerve were moved medially, and the flap was rotated externally to decrease the collapse.

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Health Science University, Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkiye.
Background: Evidence indicates that central sensitization (CS) plays a role in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Reduced treatment response has been associated with pretreatment pain sensitization features, such as CSrelated symptoms.
Methods: Patients who received subacromial steroid injection were evaluated before the injection, at the first and third months.
Immediate effects of Kinesio taping on pain, proprioception, and posture in round shoulder individuals with subacromial impingement syndrome: A randomized, double-blinded controlled trial.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences, Bahçeşehir University, Istanbul, Turkiye.
Background: Round shoulder posture (RSP), characterized by forward shoulder positioning from weakened and tense muscles, disrupts normal biomechanics and can cause Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), resulting in pain during specific movements or positions. This study examines the immediate effects of Kinesio taping (KT) on pain, proprioception, and posture in individuals in round shoulder individuals with SIS.
Methods: The study involved 114 patients diagnosed with RSP and SIS.
