SLAP Tear of the Shoulder
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage rim that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. SLAP stands for "superior labrum anterior and posterior," meaning that the tear occurs at the front of the upper arm where the bicep tendon connects to the shoulder.1
Exercises and stretches for hip pain
Hip pain can have a range of causes, from minor injury to chronic inflammation. In many cases, gently exercising and stretching the hips can help relieve pain and restore mobility.
Outcomes and challenges in the surgical treatment of trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations: A case series study
Transolecranon fracture-dislocations represent a complex subset of elbow injuries characterized by concomitant fractures of the olecranon, coronoid process, and radial head, often associated with posterior dislocation. These injuries pose significant surgical challenges due to their inherent instability and high risk of poor functional outcomes. Despite previous studies describing different fixation techniques, there is no standardized surgical protocol to optimize outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results of a structured surgical approach in the management of these injuries.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Diagnosis, Nonsurgical Medical Care, and Rehabilitation: A Clinical Practice Guideline
This evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) aims to guide clinicians with recommendations covering the assessment, treatment, and prognosis of adults with shoulder pain with suspected rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, the nonsurgical medical care and rehabilitation of adults with RC tendinopathy, as well as the return to function and sport for elite and recreational athletes.
Physical Therapy Exercise Program After a Colles' Fracture
If you have fallen onto an outstretched hand (or a FOOSH injury), then you may have suffered a Colles' fracture. A Colles' fracture a break in the radius bone of the forearm, very close to the wrist joint. It typically requires surgery to reduce or set the bones. You may have a long period of immobilization in a cast or splint after the injury.
