Therapeutic Programs for Musculoskeletal Disorders Therapeutic Programs for Therapeutic Programs Musculoskeletal Disorders James F. Wyss, MD, PT Amrish D. Patel, MD, PT Literature-Driven Treatment Approach to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis for Therapeutic Programs for Musculoskeletal Disorders is a guide for Musculoskeletal Disorders musculoskeletal medicine trainees and physicians to the art and science of writing therapy prescriptions and developing individualized treatment plans. Chapters are written by teams of musculoskeletal physicians, allied health professionals, and trainees to underscore the importance of collaboration in designing programs and improving outcomes. The book employs a literature- driven treatment approach to the common musculoskeletal problems that clinicians encounter on a daily basis. Each condition-specific chapter includes clinical background and presentation, physical examination, and diagnostics, followed by a comprehensive look at the rehabilitation program. Case examples with detailed therapy prescriptions reinforce key points. The book includes a bound-in DVD with downloadable patient handouts for most conditions.

  • Rotator Cuff and Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: Anatomy, Etiology, Screening, and Treatment
    Rotator Cuff and Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: Anatomy, Etiology, Screening, and Treatment The glenohumeral joint is the most mobile joint in the human body, but this same characteristic also makes it the least stable joint.1-3 The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that are important in supporting the glenohumeral joint, essential in almost every type of shoulder movement.4 These muscles maintain dynamic joint stability which not only avoids mechanical obstruction but also increases the functional range of motion at the joint.1,2 However, dysfunction of these stabilizers often leads to a complex pattern of degeneration, rotator cuff tear arthropathy that often involves subacromial impingement.2,22 Rotator cuff tear arthropathy is strikingly prevalent and is the most common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction.3,4 It appears to be age-dependent, affecting 9.7% of patients aged 20 years and younger and increasing to 62% of patients of 80 years and older ( P < .001); odds ratio, 15; 95% CI, 9.6-24; P < .001.4 Etiology for rotator cuff pathology varies but rotator cuff tears and tendinopathy are most common in athletes and the elderly.12 It can be the result of a traumatic event or activity-based deterioration such as from excessive use of arms overhead, but some argue that deterioration of these stabilizers is part of the natural aging process given the trend of increased deterioration even in individuals who do not regularly perform overhead activities.2,4 The factors affecting the rotator cuff and subsequent treatment are wide-ranging. The major objectives of this exposition are to describe rotator cuff anatomy, biomechanics, and subacromial impingement; expound upon diagnosis and assessment; and discuss surgical and conservative interventions.

    IGHS Poster 01: History of the Australian Hand Surgery Society Category: Other Keyword: Other Not a clinical study ♦ Michael Tonkin, MD ♦ Richard Honner, MD Hypothesis: The Australian Hand Club was established in 1972, following discussion between members of the New South Wales Hand Surgery Association and the plastic surgeons of Melbourne under the direction of Sir Benjamin Rank, who became the first President. The other elected Office Bearers were: President Elect - Alan McJannet Secretary - Frank Harvey Treasurer - Richard Honner Committee Members - Peter Millroy, Don Robinson, Bernard O’Brien In 1990 the name was changed to the Australian Hand Surgery Society. This now has 159 active members, 18 overseas members, 28 honorary members and 9 provisional members. The current Board consists of: President - Randall Sach President Elect - David Stabler Ex-officio President - Stephen Coleman Secretary - Philip Griffin Treasurer - Douglass Wheen Executive Committee - Anthony Beard, David McCombe, Jeffrey Ecker An Annual Scientific Meeting with overseas Guest Professors is conducted each year, often associated with a separate two day program in hand surgery for Registrars on surgical training schemes in Australia and New Zealand. The AHSS also convenes hand surgery programmes for the Annual Scientific Meetings of the Australian Orthopaedic Association and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Combined meetings with other hand surgery societies have been held, including with New Zealand, Singapore and most recently with the ASSH in Kauai, USA, March 2012. The AHSS became a member of the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH) in 1977 and was a founding member of the Asia-Pacific Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (APFSSH) in 1997.

  • Imaging in Gout and Other Crystal-Related Arthropathies 625
    ImaginginGoutand Other Crystal-Related Arthropathies a, b Patrick Omoumi, MD, MSc, PhD *, Pascal Zufferey, MD , c b Jacques Malghem, MD , Alexander So, FRCP, PhD KEYWORDS Gout Crystal arthropathy Calcification Imaging Radiography Ultrasound Dual-energy CT MRI KEY POINTS Crystal deposits in and around the joints are common and most often encountered as inci- dental imaging findings in asymptomatic patients. In the chronic setting, imaging features of crystal arthropathies are usually characteristic and allow the differentiation of the type of crystal arthropathy, whereas in the acute phase and in early stages, imaging signs are often nonspecific, and the final diagnosis still relies on the analysis of synovial fluid. Radiography remains the primary imaging tool in the workup of these conditions; ultra- sound has been playing an increasing role for superficially located crystal-induced ar- thropathies, and computerized tomography (CT) is a nice complement to radiography for deeper sites. When performed in the acute stage, MRI may show severe inflammatory changes that could be misleading; correlation to radiographs or CT should help to distinguish crystal arthropathies from infectious or tumoral conditions. Dual-energy CT is a promising tool for the characterization of crystal arthropathies, partic- ularly gout as it permits a quantitative assessment of deposits, and may help in the follow-up of patients.

  • Clinical and Imaging Assessment of Peripheral Enthesitis in Ankylosing Spondylitis
    Special RepoRt Clinical and imaging assessment of peripheral enthesitis in ankylosing spondylitis Enthesitis, defined as inflammation of the origin and insertion of ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses, annulus fibrosis and joint capsules, is a hallmark of ankylosing spondylitis. The concept of entheseal organ prone to pathological changes in ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthritis is well recognized. The relevant role of peripheral enthesitis is supported by the evidence that this feature, on clinical examination, has been included in the classification criteria of Amor (heel pain or other well-defined enthesopathic pain), European Spondiloarthropathy Study Group and Assessment in SpondyloArthritis International Society for axial and peripheral spondyloarthritis. Nevertheless, the assessment of enthesitis has been improved by imaging techniques to carefully detect morphological abnormalities and to monitor disease activity. 1 Keywords: ankylosing spondylitis n clinical assessment n enthesitis n MrI Antonio Spadaro* , n spondyloarthritis n ultrasound Fabio Massimo Perrotta1, In primary ankylosing spondylitis (AS) the fre- has proven to be a highly sensitive and nonin- Alessia Carboni1 quency of peripheral enthesitis has been found vasive tool to assess the presence of enthesitis, & Antongiulio Scarno1 to be between 25 and 58% [1], however, the real characterized by hypoechogenicity with loss 1Dipartimento di Medicina Interna e prevalence of this feature depends on the type of tendon fibrillar pattern, tendon thickening, Specialità

  • A Narrative Review of the Classification and Use Of
    diagnostics Review A Narrative Review of the Classification and Use of Diagnostic Ultrasound for Conditions of the Achilles Tendon Sheryl Mascarenhas Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, 543 Taylor Ave, Columbus, OH 43203, USA; [email protected] Received: 15 September 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 13 November 2020 Abstract: Enthesitis is a cardinal feature of spondyloarthropathies. The Achilles insertion on the calcaneus is a commonly evaluated enthesis located at the hindfoot, generally resulting in hindfoot pain and possible tendon enlargement. For decades, diagnosis of enthesitis was based upon patient history of hindfoot or posterior ankle pain and clinical examination revealing tenderness and/or enlargement at the site of the tendon insertion. However, not all hindfoot or posterior ankle symptoms are related to enthesitis. Advanced imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US), has allowed for more precise evaluation of hindfoot and posterior ankle conditions. Use of US in diagnosis has helped confirm some of these cases but also identified other conditions that may have otherwise been misclassified without use of advanced imaging diagnostics. Conditions that may result in hindfoot and posterior ankle symptoms related to the Achilles tendon include enthesitis (which can include retrocalcaneal bursitis and insertional tendonopathy), midportion tendonopathy, paratenonopathy, superficial calcaneal bursitis, calcaneal ossification (Haglund deformity), and calcific tendonopathy. With regard to classification of these conditions, much of the existing literature uses confusing nomenclature to describe conditions in this region of the body. Some terminology may imply inflammation when in fact there may be none. A more uniform approach to classifying these conditions based off anatomic location, symptoms, clinical findings, and histopathology is needed.
