Hombro/Shoulder: No te contentes con la primera impresión

Identification and treatment of existing copathology in anterior shoulder instability repair.Forsythe B, Frank RM, Ahmed M, Verma NN, Cole BJ, Romeo AA, Provencher MT, Nho SJ
Arthroscopy. 2015 Jan;31(1):154-66. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2014.06.014

Recurrent anterior instability is a common finding after traumatic glenohumeral dislocation in the young, athletic patient population.

A variety of concomitant pathologies may be present in addition to the classic Bankart lesion, including glenoid bone loss; humeral head bone loss; rotator interval pathology; complex/large capsular injuries including humeral avulsions of the glenohumeral ligaments (HAGL lesions), SLAP tears, near circumferential labral tears, and anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsions (ALPSA lesions); and rotator cuff tears. Normal anatomic variations masquerading as pathology also may be present. Recognition and treatment of these associated pathologies are necessary to improve function and symptoms of pain and to confer anterior shoulder stability.

This review will focus on the history, physical examination findings, imaging findings, and recommended treatment options for common sources of copathology in anterior shoulder instability repair.

General: Ese tumor que te hace dudar tiene su camino

Non-neoplastic Soft Tissue Masses That Mimic Sarcoma

Abstract 
Non-neoplastic soft tissue masses may mimic soft tissue sarcoma in a wide variety of clinical settings. Systematic and thorough review of patient history, physical examination, imaging, laboratory results, and biopsy will allow the clinician to differentiate between the two in most cases. We describe several common non-neoplastic entities that may mimic soft tissue sarcoma in case presentation format along with the characteristics that help distinguish them.

Pie/Foot: fascitis plantar y plasma rico en plaquetas

Platelet-rich Plasma and Plantar Fasciitis.
Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy Review, 21(4):220-224, 2013

Abstract:

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain and can prove difficult to treat in its most chronic and severe forms. Advanced cases of plantar fasciitis are often associated with ankle stiffness, heel spurs, and other conditions and can lead to extensive physical disability and financial loss. Most available traditional treatments, including orthoses, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and steroid injections have a paucity of supportive clinical evidence. More invasive treatments, ranging from corticosteroid and botulinum-A toxin injections to shockwave therapy and plantar fasciotomy, have demonstrated varying clinical success in severe cases but carry the potential for serious complication and permanent disability. Platelet-rich plasma has recently been demonstrated to be helpful in managing chronic severe tendinopathies when other techniques have failed. This review examines the pathophysiology, diagnostic options, nonoperative treatment modalities, and surgical options currently used for plantar fasciitis. It also focuses on the clinical rationale and available evidence for using autologous platelet-rich plasma to treat severe refractory chronic plantar fasciitis.
