Posterior capsulitis, which is characterized by pain and inflammation localized above and behind the condyle of the mandible, usually develops as a result of premature contacts in dental occlusion. The pain at the affected side is related to the severe spasm of M. Pterygoideus Lateralis or the splinting action of the masticatory muscles. This condition can be readily treated by occlusal grinding of these premature contacts after a definite diagnosis. The amount of grinding on the teeth varies according to the localization of premature contacts and the pain at the joint. This study covers 123 patients diagnosed as having posterior capsulitis and the results are presented.

Functional Outcomes Following Partial Osteotomy of the Calcaneal Tuberosity for Haglund's Syndrome.

Background Haglund's syndrome, a common cause of pain in the posterior heel that consists of painful swelling of the local soft tissues and prominence of the posterosuperior calcaneal projection, presents significant challenges in treatment, particularly when conservative management fails. This study evaluates the functional outcomes following oblique partial excision of the posterosuperior portion (calcaneal tuberosity osteotomy) of the calcaneus for Haglund's syndrome. Methods A cohort of 30 patients, aged 18 years and older, with persistent heel pain unresponsive to conservative treatments, underwent partial osteotomy using a medial or lateral approach.

Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) or adhesive capsulitis is a common shoulder condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and restricted active and passive range of motion. Evidence suggests that trigger points (TrP) may play a role in frozen shoulder, especially in restricting range of motion.
Objective: To determine an association between shoulder girdle muscles TrPs and frozen shoulder.

We describe a new technique for hydrodilatation of the frozen shoulder, which we coined 'Sonographically-Navigated Frozen Shoulder Release (S-FSR)' or 'Dr Gonzalez's technique.' Traditional treatments include a combination of conservative and surgical modalities, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, and open capsular release. We describe a modification to hydrodilatation of the frozen shoulder.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the Zadek osteotomy (ZO) affects the biomechanics of the Achilles tendon and surrounding structures in cadaveric specimens with insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT).
- - Results show that after ZO, the Haglund prominence moved forward, the Achilles tendon insertion shifted upward, and retrocalcaneal pressure significantly decreased.
- - Despite these changes, the strain on the Achilles tendon did not show significant alterations, suggesting the ZO effectively relieves pressure without greatly affecting tendon strain.

Article Synopsis
- Frozen shoulder is primarily treated conservatively, with corticosteroid injections being commonly used; however, which method of injection is most effective remains debated.
- This study compared two injection techniques—anterior extra-articular and posterior intra-articular—on 54 patients, assessing their effectiveness through various evaluation parameters over several weeks.
- Results showed significant improvement in both groups regarding pain and shoulder function, but there were no significant differences between the two injection methods in terms of outcomes.
