In no way should this book be used as a substitute for your own practitioner’s advice. Because medicine is an ever-changing science, readers are encouraged to confirm the information contained herein with other sources. The authors, publishers, and editors of this work have used sources they believe to be reliable to substantiate the information provided. However, in view of the possibility of human error or changes in medical sciences, neither the authors, publishers, or editors, nor any other party who has been involved in the preparation or publication of this work warrants that the information contained herein is in every respect accurate or complete, and they are not responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the use of such information. This is especially true, in particular, when an athlete or person in pain receives Prolotherapy and a bad result occurs. The authors, publishers, and editors of this book do not warrant that Prolotherapy is going to be effective in any medical condition and cannot guarantee nor endorse any certain type of Prolotherapy, solution used, or practitioner. It is the responsibility of the individual athlete or person who receives Prolotherapy to thoroughly research the topic and pick a particular practitioner whom he/she feels is qualified to perform the procedure. As of this writing there is no certification available in Prolotherapy training. Any licensed medical (MD) or osteopathic doctor (DO) in the United States can perform Prolotherapy according to the laws. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) may also provide Prolotherapy injections in some states. Practitioners should use and apply the technique of Prolotherapy only after they have received extensive training and demonstrated the ability to safely administer the treatment. The authors, publishers, editors, or any other people involved in this work, are not responsible if practitioners who are unqualified in the use of Prolotherapy administer the treatment based solely on the contents of this book, or if they receive training but do not administer it safely and a bad result occurs. If Prolotherapy or any other treatment regimen described in this book appears to apply to your condition, the authors, publishers, and editors recommend that a formal evaluation be performed by a practitioner who is competent in treating pain and athletic injuries with Prolotherapy. Those desiring treatment should make medical decisions with the aid of a personal practitioner. No medical decisions should be made solely on the contents or recommendations made in this book. n 2 DEDICATION This book is dedicated to our patients who have entrusted us with their health care. We are thankful that they have allowed us to help them achieve their hopes, dreams, and aspirations and help alleviate their pain and suffering. We love our patients and have been blessed many times over by their presence in our lives. It is with humble hearts that we dedicate this book to them. We would not be able to perform the procedures that we provide in the manner in which we provide them, were it not for the presence of God in our lives. We are thankful to God for allowing the body to feel pain; for without that ability, we would have no way of knowing whether something was wrong. God’s Son Jesus came to earth as the chief servant of all. Mark 10:43-45/ESV: “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and Dr. Gustav and Helen Hemwall whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Because of this instruction from the Bible, we count it a blessing to be able to serve our patients. For that we are truly thankful. Were it not for two of God’s most faithful servants, Gustav and Helen Hemwall, we would not be writing this

Complications associated with ceramic-on-polyethylene articulations have been studied extensively, however, only few reports have described its catastrophic wear and concurrent pseudotumor formation. The etiology of this biological reaction and concurrency of pseudotumor formation with metallosis remain unclear. We report two cases of wear of the acetabular liner in a ceramic-on-polyethylene prosthesis due to total hip arthroplasty (THA) long time ago. They came back to the clinic with the history of worsening hip pain and abnormal radiological and clinical findings. Then they underwent surgery and metallosis and pseudotumors were detected and revisions were performed for them. It is necessary to evaluate patients underwent THA complaining of hip pain for component wear and be checked the cup appear well fixing and fairly oriented on follow-up radiographies. Close follow ups can prevent accelerated polyethylene wear in ceramic-on-polyethylene coupling THA.

    Lorem Ipsum Endoscopic Hamstring Repair Carlos A. Guanche, MD Southern California Orthopedic Institute 12 Lorem Ipsum 2 Endoscopic Hamstring Repair With the expansion of knowledge regarding hip pathologies as a result of the increased treatment of hip problems arthroscopically has come an expanded treatment of many injuries that were previously treated through open methods. The treatment of symptomatic ischial bursitis and hamstring injuries is one such area. In this paper, the author describes the surgical procedure and discusses the findings and preliminary outcomes in a group of the first 15 patients undergoing the procedure. The clinical rationale associated with the treatment algorithm is also discussed. Hamstring injuries have been effectively addressed in the past with a variety of open methods.(1,2) However, the endoscopic management of much pathology previously treated with more invasive, open approaches has evolved. The technique described in this chapter is another such evolution. Hamstring injuries are common and can affect all levels of The hamstrings originate from the ischial tuberosity and athletes.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, proliferating disease affecting the synovium of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. Involvement of bursa (PVNB, pigmented villonodular bursitis) is the least common, and only few cases of exclusively extra-articular PVNB of the pes anserinus bursa have been reported so far. We report a case of extra-articular pes anserine PVNB along with a review of the literature.
