Imaging findings in polymyalgia rheumatica.
Rheumatology (Oxford)
March 2025
Department of Rheumatology, Austin Health, Heidelberg, VIC, Australia.
Modern imaging including ultrasound, MRI and PET have all played a pivotal role in characterizing the distinctive musculotendinous pathology that is now recognized to define PMR. Each of these modalities offers inherent advantages and disadvantages relative to availability, cost and radiation exposure, although MRI and hybrid PET/CT are particularly capable of detecting highly sensitive and specific findings, and thus should be considered reliable tools for PMR diagnosis in everyday clinical practice. By contrast, the utility of imaging for monitoring disease activity and predicting long-term clinical outcomes represents areas of ongoing research interest.

Objective: Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) results from an anomalous relationship between the popliteal artery and the myofascial structures of the popliteal fossa. The long-term treatment outcomes are not well-known because of the rarity of the disease. This study aimed to establish a nationwide collective dataset and analyze treatment outcomes.

From the Department of Diagnostic Services, Hamilton Health Sciences, Hamilton General Hospital, 237 Barton St E, Hamilton, ON, Canada L8L 2X2 (L.M.B., S.J.A.); Department of Radiology, Radiation Oncology, and Medical Physics, University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (D.V.F.); and Department of Medical Imaging, The Ottawa Hospital, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (D.V.F.).
Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound (US) is a valuable tool for assessing acute tendon injuries, enabling quick evaluations and decisions on treatment at the bedside.
- It surpasses physical exams in sensitivity and specificity, making it critical for accurately identifying conditions like distal triceps tears that show similar symptoms but have different severities.
- US also helps characterize the injury's location and extent, which guides treatment choices, and can eliminate misdiagnoses by distinguishing between musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal issues like deep venous thrombosis.
Small-Sided-Game-Induced Mechanical Load in Adolescent Soccer: The Need for Care and Consideration for Athlete Preservation.
Sports Health
December 2024
InSPIRe Group, School of Science, Technology and Health, York St John University, York, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Small-sided games (SSGs) are widely used in youth soccer training due to their ability to improve multiple soccer skills at once, but they can also lead to mechanical stress injuries if not properly managed.
- The review highlights that as young athletes grow, their muscles and tendons can struggle to handle loads, making them more susceptible to injuries from repeated activity.
- It emphasizes the need for coaches to tailor training loads based on individual athlete readiness to prevent injuries, suggesting modifications like changing play areas and including goalkeepers in drills.
Lateral and Medial Elbow Tendinopathy and Previous Injuries to Adjacent Joints: A Multicenter Observational Study.
Healthcare (Basel)
September 2024
Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy, Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy, University of Cadiz, 11009 Cadiz, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Lateral and medial elbow tendinopathies are prevalent conditions affecting 1-3% of the population, leading to pain and decreased function in the elbow, often linked to overuse but with unclear causes related to past injuries in nearby joints.
- A study involving 90 patients with these tendinopathies found that 44.4% had prior injuries in adjacent joints, with nearly half of these injuries being musculotendinous.
- The research suggests a potential connection between previous joint injuries and elbow tendinopathy, but highlights the need for further studies due to limitations like reliance on self-reported data and a small sample size.
