Small Bowel Obstruction Due to Transperitoneal Incarceration After Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Case Report.

We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who experienced severe abdominal pain and vomiting 14 days after undergoing anterior lumbar interbody fusion. CT revealed a mechanical small bowel obstruction with a transition point in the proximal ileum. During surgery, an incarcerated bowel loop was discovered, having herniated into the preperitoneal space.

Outcomes of Platelet-Rich Plasma Infiltration and Weightbearing Cast Immobilization in Distal Tibialis Anterior Tendinopathy: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Distal tibialis anterior tendinopathy (DTAT) is a chronic condition that may lead to functional impairment and secondary forefoot deformities when left untreated. Current clinical practice is mainly guided by case reports and small retrospective case series; little consensus exists on which treatment protocol is most effective. This study aims to assess a conservative treatment for DTAT consisting of PRP infiltration and walking cast immobilization.
