Article Abstract
Background: Ultrasound is increasingly being utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of adhesive capsulitis.
Objective: To compare the therapeutic effects and advantages of combined handheld ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection with those of conventional ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.
Methods: A total of 39 patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A patients (n= 19) underwent combined handheld ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided corticosteroid injection and group B patients (n= 20) underwent conventional ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection to the intra-articular space of the shoulder twice. Treatment efficacy was assessed at 2 and 6 weeks after the final injection, based on the verbal numeric pain scale, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and range of motion. Secondary outcome measures were the accuracy and procedure time.
Results: Both injection methods were effective in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. No significant differences in treatment efficacy and injection accuracy were observed between the two groups (p> 0.05).
Conclusions: This study showed no statistical differences in treatment efficacy between 2 groups. However, the combined use of ultrasound and fluoroscopy can increase the accuracy of injection compared with conventional ultrasound alone.

Aims: The primary outcome was to determine the proportion of patients with adhesive capsulitis who required reintervention following a treatment of hydrodistension. The secondary outcome was to identify predictors of reintervention.
Methods: A total of 712 hydrodistension procedures from six NHS trusts were included for statistical analysis.

Jockeys endure considerable physical and psychological demands, rendering them vulnerable to occupational injuries such as fractures, concussions, and soft tissue damage. This descriptive case series presents the medical and occupational histories of three professional jockeys with long-term disabilities following work-related accidents. Each individual commenced their jockey career in early adolescence.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Lower Extremities, Schulthess Clinic, Zurich, Switzerland.
Case: A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic, left-sided trochanteric bursitis, unresponsive to conservative treatments including intensive physiotherapy, local and systemic anti-inflammatory therapy, and neuromodulation. A novel surgical approach was used, involving an adducting trochanteric closing wedge osteotomy to reduce the lateral prominence of the greater trochanter without relevantly affecting the abductor lever arm. The procedure resulted in substantial symptom relief, with excellent functional outcomes.

Abstract: The Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a rare closed degloving injury resulting from traumatic shearing forces that separate subcutaneous tissue from underlying fascia, creating a cavity filled with blood, lymph, and inflammatory exudate. Typically occurring in regions where skin can glide significantly over rigid structures, such as the thigh, MLLs present as fluctuant, boggy, sometimes painful lesions, which result from disrupted lymphatic and vascular structures. The lesion evolves through an inflammatory cascade leading to eventual encapsulation by dense fibrotic tissue.
