  • Clinical Challenges in Managing Shoulder Osteoarthritis and Suprascapular Neuropathy

    Chronic shoulder pain is a common and multifactorial condition. Suprascapular nerve neuropathy, although relatively uncommon, may lead to pain, weakness, and muscle atrophy as a result of extrinsic compression, trauma, or inflammation. When it occurs in the presence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis, overall shoulder function may be further compromised, complicating both diagnostic assessment and therapeutic decisionmaking.

  • Ulnar Nerve Lesions: Causes and Treatments of Nerve Damage

    An ulnar nerve injury (sometimes called an ulnar nerve lesion) can cause pain and numbness in your arm. Your arm might also feel weak if you hurt the nerve.

  • What Is Abductor Hallucis Pain and What Causes It?

    The abductor hallucis muscle is located on the inner border of the foot. This muscle bends the big toe and moves it out to the side. More importantly, it supports the medial longitudinal arch, located on the inside border of the foot. The abductor hallucis is a common area for people to experience foot pain. However, it is often mistaken for other conditions, such as plantar fasciitis.

  • Preventing Shoulder Pain After Vaccine Injection (SIRVA)

    Shoulder pain is a common side effect of a vaccine. Usually, it gets better fairly quickly and causes no long-term problems. However, some people develop a rare problem called shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA).

  • Reduced opioid use found after knee surgery with mini-scope technique

    A new study led by Marshall University researchers found that patients who underwent knee surgery using a minimally invasive "needle arthroscopy" technique used significantly fewer opioids after surgery compared to those treated with standard arthroscopy.

  • Hip Replacement Dislocation

    Normal hip joints have many surrounding structures that help to stabilize the hip joint. These structures include muscles, ligaments, and the normal bony structure of the hip joint. Together, these structures keep the ball (the femoral head) within the socket (the acetabulum).

  • Meniscal Tear Repair: What’s New in the Literature?

    Meniscal tear repair has become the gold standard modality for treating different types of meniscal tears. Despite the availability of numerous repair techniques, the ideal approach remains unclear, especially for complex and irreparable tears. Recently, innovative techniques have emerged to address these challenges, including hybrid/salvage techniques, meniscal scaffolds, and the introduction of biologics as part of the treatment.

  • Non-traumatic Medial-Sided Elbow Pain: A Comprehensive Review of Etiologies, Diagnostic Strategies, and Treatment Approaches

    Medial elbow pain is a rare and often underrecognized condition. In non-traumatic cases, such as medial epicondylitis (ME), ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, snapping medial triceps, and posteromedial impingement, the clinical presentations are often similar, making diagnosis challenging. This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence regarding the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for non-traumatic medial elbow pain.

  • Traumatic Versus Atraumatic Causes of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Pathophysiology and Outcomes

    Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder caused by traumatic or atraumatic factors, resulting in pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life. This systematic review aimed to summarize the pathophysiology, anatomical changes, and functional outcomes of traumatic versus atraumatic SIS.

  • 5 Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome You Should Know

    Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that develops when the median nerve—a major nerve that controls movement and sensation in the hand and fingers—becomes compressed or pinched. Specifically, this nerve supplies sensations to your thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. As a result, you can experience symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers.
