What Causes Heel Pain?
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, but Achilles tendonitis, Sever disease, and bursitis are also frequent reasons for heel discomfort. Infections and other minor or severe injuries and disorders can cause throbbing, stabbing, burning, or aching pain in the heel.
Time-Dependent Growth Factor Kinetics, Platelet Concentration, and Clinical Response Following Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Saline in Chronic Tenosynovitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is utilized for chronic tenosynovitis to reduce inflammation and promote tendon sheath repair. This study compared the temporal kinetics of PRP-derived growth factors with clinical outcomes of PRP versus saline injection over 3 months.
What's Causing Your Swollen Big Toe?
A swollen big toe, or hallux edema, often results from conditions like gout, bunions, or arthritis, leading to discomfort and impaired movement. Understanding the underlying cause through symptoms and proper diagnosis is key to finding the right treatment and regaining your mobility.
Predictor of clinical and functional outcomes in ankle arthroscopic ligament repair with ‘all-inside’ technique
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a common condition characterized by recurrent episodes of lateral instability, often due to a lesion of the ankle collateral lateral ligament complex. If untreated, CAI can lead to persistent symptoms and long-term degenerative changes. Arthroscopic ‘all-inside’ repair has gained traction as a minimally invasive technique offering functional and clinical benefits.
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.
Physical Characteristics Associated With a History of Ankle Sprain in Elementary School Badminton Players
Ankle injuries are prevalent among elementary school students and are associated with subsequent injuries. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a history of ankle sprain and the physical characteristics of elementary school badminton players.
