Neema Mohammadi, Carol A Sedlak
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) is a rapidly expanding field. Physicians who practice PM&R are known as physiatrists and provide care primarily for patients who have disabilities or physical impairments affecting the musculoskeletal system, brain, and spinal cord. Physiatrists may work in an inpatient or outpatient setting, with outpatient physiatrists being an invaluable resource in treating patients experiencing pain. It is worthwhile to refer patients experiencing hip, knee, or back pain to a PM&R specialist because of their skill in making specific and accurate diagnoses, as well as providing a wide range of modalities to treat pain and augment function such as management of pain medications, osteopathic manipulative therapy, trigger point injections, intra-articular steroid injections, orthobiologic therapy, and interventional spinal procedures...

BACKGROUND: The primary management modalities for the patella in TKA include patellar resurfacing, patellar non-resurfacing, patellar resurfacing with denervation, and patellar non-resurfacing with denervation. Traditionally, meta-analyses have predominantly focused on examining comparisons between two management modalities. However, this study performed a network meta-analysis to compare all four patellar management interventions to identify the most optimal approach for patellar management in TKA...

INTRODUCTION: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a progressive joint disease commonly treated with intra-articular injections, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid (HA), or corticosteroids (CS). This updated meta-analysis aims to enhance the statistical power of the results and provide comprehensive clinical evidence that reflects the most current research. By doing so, the authors aim to suggest a reliable estimate for the development of guidelines, addressing the pressing need for effective and minimally invasive treatment options...

BACKGROUND: The scientific literature questions the impact of stretching exercises performed immediately before muscle strengthening exercises on different components of musculoskeletal physical fitness. Pilates is a physical exercise modality that typically uses stretching exercises preceding muscle-strengthening exercises. However, no studies have investigated the effects of stretching in a Pilates program on components of musculoskeletal fitness. The aim of the present study was to verify the effects of stretching in a Pilates exercise program on flexibility, strength, vertical jump height and muscular endurance...

Calcification of the medial collateral ligament is a rare cause of medial knee pain along with functional impairment. Most cases are asymptomatic but those that are symptomatic typically respond to conservative management. However, in those instances with persistent symptoms that desire further intervention but want to minimize the risks associated with surgery, we present a novel approach for calcium removal with an ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle tenotomy with TenJet™ as a reasonable treatment modality...

OBJECTIVE: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common musculoskeletal problem worldwide and its key symptom is pain. Guidelines recommend incorporating comorbidity-specific therapies into patient-centered care. Patients diagnosed with KOA frequently have insomnia, which is associated with higher pain severity. For this reason, this study protocol outlines the methodology of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) combined with best-practice KOA care (BPC) compared to best-practice KOA care and lifestyle education...

BACKGROUND: Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen whose use in medicine has rapidly grown in recent years. Ozonated blood allows for the use of ozone in a safe modality, as plasma and blood cells are endowed with an antioxidant system able to quench ozone's pro-oxidant property and to elicit the Nrf2/Kwap1/ARE pathway. METHODS: We present two clinical studies, a case-series (six patients) observational study adopting ozone as a major autohemotherapy and topical ozone to address infected post-surgical wounds with multi-drug resistant bacteria and an observational study (250 patients) using ozonated blood for treating knee osteoarthritis...

Palindromic rheumatism (PR) is a unique syndrome considered a prelude to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is characterized by recurrent, unpredictable episodes of joint inflammation and distinct clinical features. Unlike RA, PR episodes are brief and reversible, involving sudden-onset joint pain, swelling, and erythema. The exact etiology and diagnostic criteria of PR remain elusive, but it often shares autoantibodies with RA, leading patients to transition from PR to RA. The management of PR is multifaceted and empirical, involving various treatment modalities such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)...

Meniscal injury is a common cause of knee pain and functional impairment, often necessitating surgical intervention. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used for diagnosis, its accuracy is variable and may lead to false positives and negatives. To address these issues, needle arthroscopy has gained attention as a potential diagnostic alternative to MRI because of its immediate availability and ability to directly visualize intra-articular structures. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic capabilities of needle arthroscopy in comparison with MRI and diagnostic arthroscopy for meniscal injuries...
