The document discusses the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), including its anatomy, biomechanics, evaluation, and treatment options for SIJ pain. Key points include:
- The SIJ is a synovial joint between the sacrum and ilium bones that allows limited motion. It is innervated by lumbar and sacral nerve roots and plays a role in stress relief and force transmission.
- Evaluation of SIJ pain is challenging due to its anatomy. History, physical exam maneuvers like Patrick's test, and image-guided injections are used to diagnose SIJ pain.
- Treatment options for SIJ pain include conservative care, injections, denervation, and fusion surgery. Per
The document discusses sacroiliac joint pain, which accounts for 15-30% of all lower back pain cases. It can be difficult to diagnose due to the complex anatomy of the sacroiliac joint. Physical examination maneuvers like Patrick's test and resisted abduction can help identify sacroiliac joint pain, but diagnostic blocks provide the most accurate confirmation. Common treatments include steroid injections into the joint, followed by options like nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, or surgery if more invasive treatments are needed.
The document discusses facet joint pain, which originates from structures in the lumbar facet joints. It can be a source of low back pain, especially in older individuals. Precise diagnosis is difficult without diagnostic blocks or imaging. Treatment options include conservative treatments, steroid injections, and radiofrequency denervation.

If you have been suffering for a long time from a SI joint syndrome and want a quick recovery, consult a reputable chiropractor to get proper diagnosis and treatment. In most cases, your chiropractor will perform an extensive physical examination, so that he or she could recommend the right chiropractic approach to treat the joint problem.
This study examined hip abductor strength in long distance runners with ITBS compared to uninjured runners. Runners with ITBS had weaker hip abductors on their injured side compared to their uninjured side and controls. Both male and female runners who completed a 6-week physical therapy program of hip abductor strengthening exercises achieved strength levels equal to or greater than their uninjured side and controls. Most runners were able to successfully return to running following the strengthening intervention. While the study included multiple treatments, it provides evidence that hip abductor weakness may play a role in ITBS and strengthening can help return runners to sport.

Suffering from knee pain? It is important to know you what is the cause of your knee pain and their physiotherapy treatment also. To know your types of pain and their various pain management treatment my slide will help you.
This document discusses periarthritis of the shoulder, also known as frozen shoulder. It begins by defining the condition as an inflammatory disorder of the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissues. It then describes the three stages of frozen shoulder according to Cyriax: stage 1 involves pain with movement, stage 2 includes increased stiffness, and stage 3 is the recovery stage with gradual return of movement. The document outlines causes such as injury, prolonged immobility, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. Signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and management are explained, including medications, cortisone injections, physical therapy, and possibly surgery if conservative treatment fails.
The semilunar cartilages are commonly called menisci and form an important shock-absorbing mechanism, which helps in the gliding movement of the tibia on the femur. Injuries to the meniscus are common in young adults and are often sustained by the football players.
A meniscus tear is usually caused by twisting or turning quickly. These tears can occur when you lift something heavy or play sports. As you get older, your meniscus gets worn. This can make it tear more easily.
An abduction external rotation violence, on a flexed weight-bearing knee, causes a tear in the medial meniscus. in football, it occurs when the player standing on one leg, which is slightly flexed at the knee, turns to tackle the ball with the other leg.
The lateral meniscus is damaged by the opposite violence, that is, internal rotation and abduction violence of the tibia or a semiflexed weight-bearing knee.
Management
Paracetamol
Anti-inflammatory medicalYou can also take medication such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication to reduce pain and swelling around your knee.
The document discusses knee pain, including common symptoms, causes, and locations of pain. It describes examinations doctors perform to diagnose knee problems like meniscus tears and ligament injuries. Tests are outlined to detect issues in the kneecap, ligaments, and menisci. Treatment approaches are covered like yoga poses, pranayama breathing, massage, heat therapy and lifestyle changes.
A sports hernia is a complex groin injury caused by an imbalance in strength between core and leg muscles. It occurs when the abdominal muscles cannot withstand the stresses from explosive leg movements, resulting in tears or weaknesses in the abdominal wall. Conservative treatment focuses on strengthening the core through physiotherapy but pain often recurs without surgery. Surgical options include open repair with mesh or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to reinforce the injured area.
Shoulder pain is a common but complex issue to diagnose due to the shoulder's anatomy. The most common pathologies are subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tears, and adhesive capsulitis. Physical examinations combined with musculoskeletal ultrasound and MRI/MR arthrogram are important for diagnosis. Location and duration of pain, and findings on tests like empty can, lift-off, and ultrasound of structures like the coracohumeral ligament provide clues to the underlying problem.

This document discusses shoulder impingement syndrome. It begins by describing the anatomy of the shoulder joint and surrounding structures. It then defines impingement syndrome as the encroachment of structures above the shoulder on those passing beneath, especially during flexion and rotation. The document outlines the pathophysiology, aetiology, types and stages of impingement syndrome. It discusses contributing factors, symptoms, assessment methods, diagnostic imaging options and management approaches including medical, pharmaceutical and physiotherapeutic treatments.
A sportsman's hernia is a tear of the conjoined tendon or transversalis fascia in the groin region that can cause chronic groin pain, especially during athletic activities. It is often difficult to diagnose based on physical exam alone. Laparoscopic surgical repair is generally an effective treatment, with most patients returning to physical activity within a week and sports within a month, and experiencing long-term relief of pain symptoms. However, for a small percentage the pain may persist or return after surgery.

Meniscus injuries are common in young adults, often caused by twisting or heavy lifting. Symptoms include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, tenderness, pain with squatting, popping or clicking in the knee, and limited motion. Meniscus tears are classified as longitudinal, horizontal, radial, or flap tears. Exams like McMurray's test and Apley's test are used to diagnose tears. Treatment involves medications, surgery if the meniscus cannot be repaired, physiotherapy including exercises and bracing, and rehabilitation protocols after arthroscopic surgery or meniscal repair surgery. Isokinetic training after arthroscopy can help improve knee function and muscle strength recovery.

Mckenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy.3.15Juhi Gupta
The document summarizes the key aspects of the McKenzie Method for assessing and treating musculoskeletal pain. It was developed in the 1950s as a self-care approach involving repeated movements or positions to centralize pain. The method aims to classify patients into postural, dysfunction, or derangement syndromes and prescribe direction-specific exercises based on each patient's pattern of symptoms with movement. When used correctly, the goal is to centralize pain, improve function, prevent recurrences, and require fewer medical visits over time.
Dr. Burg is Plano, TX based orthopedic surgeon specializing in back and spine surgery. The surgeon provides comprehensive treatment for Degenerative Disc, Spinal Deformity, Herniated Discs, Scoliosis, Lumbar Spine Stenosis etc. To schedule an appointment with the spine surgeon in Plano, visit - www.backspinesurgeon.com
1) Degenerative disc disease involves the degeneration of intervertebral discs most commonly in the lower cervical and lumbar regions. The degenerated discs may herniate and press on nerves, causing pain and neurological deficits.
2) MRI is useful for evaluating degenerative disc disease as it can identify disc bulges and herniations, facet joint changes, and compression of nerves or the spinal cord.
3) Common sites for lumbar disc herniations are the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels. Over 1/3 of herniated discs are asymptomatic, so clear evidence of nerve root compression is needed for surgery.
Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency that occurs when the spinal canal is significantly narrowed, compressing the spinal cord and nerves below. It causes a variety of symptoms like leg and bladder problems. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, as waiting over 24 hours or symptoms worsening requires immediate surgery to decompress the spine. Prognosis depends on the severity and extent of symptoms, with bilateral leg pain or complete groin numbness indicating a poorer prognosis.
Back pain can be classified as nociceptive, inflammatory, neuropathic or functional. Functional pain has no clear morphological cause and may involve changes in the nervous system that reduce pain thresholds or increase responses to stimuli. Common syndromes with functional pain include fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and tension headaches. Around 80% of people experience back pain by age 60. Causes include spinal degeneration, trauma, chronic pathological changes, deformities, infections, tumors and referred pain from other structures. Treatment involves conservative options like medication, exercise and therapy or surgical interventions like spinal fusion.
Degenerative Marrow Changes (Signal intensity changes) adjacent to the endplates of degenerated discs are a common observation on MR images.
This is a teaching lecture given twice by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Mohi Eldin, professor of neurosurgery, in the weekly conference of kasr El Aini Neurosurgery Department, Cairo University, November 2010 and January 2013.
This document discusses spondylolisthesis, a condition where one vertebra slips out of position over another. It can be caused by hereditary factors, trauma or degeneration. Symptoms range from none in children to back/leg pain and neurological issues in adults. Diagnosis involves imaging tests like x-rays, CT and MRI. Treatment options include conservative care, bracing or surgery like fusion to correct alignment and stop progression if symptoms are present or the slip is worsening. Surgical reduction may be needed for severe slips over 45 degrees or those causing neurological problems.
Facet joint syndrome refers to pain that occurs in the facet joints of the spine, which connect vertebrae and allow bending and twisting. The facet joints are synovial joints surrounded by cartilage and fluid. Facet joint syndrome is most common in the elderly and causes pain in the lower back or neck that increases with twisting or bending and can radiate to the buttocks or thighs. It is diagnosed through medical history, exams, and sometimes imaging tests or facet joint blocks. Treatments include medications, exercises, massage, and in severe cases, nerve ablation surgery. Merely treating symptoms often fails, so a combined approach addressing causes like inflammation and muscle imbalances works best to relieve pain.
This document discusses Cauda Equina Syndrome and the importance of combining intuitive and analytical thinking in clinical decision making. It describes a scenario where a paramedic initially thought an elderly patient had experienced a mechanical fall, but through further assessment realized the patient could be experiencing Cauda Equina Syndrome based on symptoms of back pain, sciatica, and loss of sensation. The document then provides details on the anatomy of the Cauda Equina, causes and symptoms of Cauda Equina Syndrome, and importance of rapid transport and treatment.
There research on the effectiveness of Physical Therapy for back pain is not compelling. This presentation overviews the current evidence base and discusses the potential for classification of back pain to demonstrate stronger support for Physical Therapy.
The Specific Treatment of Problems of the Spine (STOPS) trial protocol is then presented. This study was recently completed showing moderate to strong effect sizes favouring Physical Therapy over evidence-based advice.
Note that the clinical protocol details in the presentation are examples only. For the full clinical protocol visit Physical Therapy Reviews
Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that is usually treated with braces for mild cases or surgery for severe cases. A herniated disc occurs when the jelly-like center of a spinal disc squeezes out through a tear in the outer ring, which can be caused by age, injury, or heavy lifting. Cauda equina syndrome is a serious condition involving compression of the bundle of nerves in the lower spine and requires emergency surgery to prevent permanent nerve damage.
This document summarizes the experience with cauda equina syndrome (CES) at AIIMS hospital in India. It reports that CES accounted for 2.76% of spinal surgeries in their series. While the duration of symptoms did not correlate with recovery outcomes, early diagnosis and surgery was recommended to stop the progression of incomplete CES lesions to complete lesions. The results showed that after surgery, 67% of patients had normal sensory function recovered, 100% of bladder functions improved or remained mild, and 45% had normal motor function recovery.
This presentation by from the International Committee of the Red Cross describes problems and corrections for transtibial alignment in lower limb amputee prosthetic fitting.
Nerve compression syndrome, also known as entrapment neuropathy, occurs when a peripheral nerve is compressed, causing mechanical damage. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common example, where the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Symptoms include tingling, numbness, and pain in the fingers innervated by the median nerve that is worsened at night. Physical exams and tests like Phalen's maneuver, Tinel's sign, and nerve conduction studies can help diagnose CTS. Treatment involves splinting, medications, injections, or carpal tunnel release surgery if conservative measures fail.
1) Spondylolisthesis is the forward slippage of one vertebra over another, usually occurring at L5-S1. It is commonly caused by defects in the pars interarticularis (spondylolysis), which allows stress fractures and slippage.
2) Common symptoms include low back pain exacerbated by movement and radiating pain or numbness in the legs. Physical exam may reveal tenderness over the slipped vertebrae, muscle spasms, and limited flexion.
3) Diagnosis is made through imaging like x-rays, CT, or MRI. X-rays can grade the percentage of slippage. CT and MRI better visualize defects and any impinge
Dr. Robin McKenzie developed the McKenzie Method for treating back pain mechanically without surgery or medication. The method involves assessing a patient's pain response to various spinal movements to determine the underlying problem. Treatment focuses on specific exercises that centralize the pain by improving spinal mechanics. Exercises may involve extension, flexion, or lateral movements. The goal is to reduce pain and improve range of motion over several weeks with a home exercise program. Precautions are taken for certain conditions like spinal stenosis or recent trauma. The McKenzie Method provides an alternative to medication for many back pain issues.
This document discusses conus medullaris syndrome and cauda equina syndrome, two conditions that result from compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots in the lower back. It describes the differences in presentation and symptoms between the two syndromes. Specifically, conus medullaris syndrome affects the sacral cord segment and roots, presents suddenly and bilaterally, and can cause early urinary and fecal incontinence. Cauda equina syndrome affects the lumbosacral nerve roots, presents gradually and unilaterally, and tends to cause more severe radicular pain and late onset of bowel dysfunction. The document also outlines various causes of the syndromes and methods for investigating and relieving cord compression.
1) The document discusses various techniques for radiofrequency treatment of sacroiliac joint and discogenic pain, including cooled radiofrequency denervation of sacral lateral branches and dorsal rami, as well as intradiscal biacuplasty.
2) Studies show cooled radiofrequency denervation provides 50-79% pain relief in 57-64% of patients with sacroiliac joint pain at 3-6 month follow-up. Intradiscal biacuplasty uses internally cooled bipolar radiofrequency to heat the posterior disc annulus to 55-60°C to treat discogenic pain.
3) The techniques aim to denervate pain fibers while monitoring temperature to avoid excessive
PDF Disfunción sacroiliaca evaluación y manejoFtAndres
This article reviews sacroiliac joint dysfunction as a source of low back and pelvic pain. There are no widely accepted guidelines for diagnosing or treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction due to variability in symptoms, limited objective testing options, and incomplete understanding of biomechanics. Pain from the sacroiliac joint can radiate to the buttocks, groin, and lower limbs in various patterns. The most reliable diagnostic technique is pain relief following local anesthetic injection into the joint. Most patients respond to non-operative treatment, while those who do not may be candidates for operative stabilization of the joint.
Patellar resurfacing compared with nonresurfacing in tkarosenmd
This study compared patellar resurfacing versus non-resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients over 10 years. At initial follow-up, resurfacing reduced anterior knee pain but this effect diminished over time. By 10 years, there was no significant difference in outcomes like function, range of motion, or satisfaction between the resurfaced and non-resurfaced groups, though non-resurfaced patients reported less anterior knee pain. While resurfacing lowered revision rates in the short term, outcomes were similar between groups in the long run. Factors like pre-existing pain, patella degeneration, obesity, and gender did not predict which patients would benefit most from resurfacing.
- The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a common but overlooked cause of lower back pain, accounting for up to 15-30% of cases. It connects the sacrum to the pelvis and is a common site for injury or inflammation.
- Diagnosing SI joint pain can be challenging as symptoms often mimic other back issues. Imaging may be misleading and diagnostic SI joint injections are usually needed. Physical exams like distraction, compression, and Patrick's tests can help identify SI joint involvement.
- Treatment begins conservatively with physical therapy, bracing, medications, and SI joint injections. For those who fail conservative care, minimally invasive surgery like radiofrequency ablation or SI joint fusion
This document discusses sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, including:
1. It is a degenerative condition of the SI joint that results in lower back pain and accounts for 15-30% of outpatient lower back pain cases.
2. Risk factors include previous lumbar fusion, pregnancy, pelvic trauma, and iliac crest bone graft harvesting. Pathophysiology can involve intraarticular, extraarticular, or idiopathic mechanisms.
3. Diagnosis is based on history, physical exam including provocative tests, and SI joint infiltration. Differential diagnosis includes lumbar spinal stenosis, disc disease, and hip issues.

On examination, he has an obvious knee deformity, shortened limb, inability to dorsiflex or move toes, and decreased sensation on the dorsum of the foot. X-rays show an anterior knee dislocation without fracture. Immediate management includes analgesia, traction to reduce deformity, splinting, and checking vascular status. Further assessment is needed to evaluate for additional injuries. Surgical management may be required for open dislocations, irreducible dislocations, or vascular injuries. The goals of treatment are restoration of stability and range of motion through either conservative immobilization or surgical repair/reconstruction of ligaments.

Beverland D. Surgical Factors Influencing RomStruijs
The document discusses several factors that can influence range of motion (ROM) after knee arthroplasty surgery:
1) Surgical technique factors like thoroughly removing osteophytes, restoring proper joint alignment and posterior condylar offset, avoiding excess release of the medial collateral ligament, and closing the surgical wound in extension rather than flexion.
2) Rehabilitation protocols, including early use of continuous passive motion and adherence to post-operative physical therapy.
3) Patient factors such as pre-operative ROM, obesity, and underlying diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.
4) Potential treatments for stiff knees after surgery include manipulation under anesthesia and revision procedures to address issues like internal rotation of the femoral component

The document discusses the management of lumbar disc herniation with free fragments. It states that over 50% reduction in fragment size on follow-up MRI is clinically significant, and larger fragments have better chances of reduction and clinical outcome with conservative treatment. Conservative treatment is the initial protocol, including bed rest and avoidance of sitting and traction. Surgery may be considered if conservative treatment fails or neurological deficits increase.
This document provides an overview of rotator cuff disorders and evidence related to diagnosis and management. Key points include:
- Rotator cuff tears can be caused by mechanical or degenerative factors and progress from tendinosis to partial or full thickness tears.
- Physical exams have low diagnostic accuracy for tears but clusters of tests may help. Investigations like ultrasound and MRI can better identify soft tissue pathology.
- Factors like age, tear size, tendon retraction and fatty infiltration affect outcomes, with larger/retracted tears and more fatty changes correlating to poorer prognosis.
- Initial management focuses on rest, analgesics and physiotherapy, with surgery for failed non-operative treatment. Surgical techniques like
This study aimed to establish the prevalence of shoulder pain (SP) in cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) patients admitted to a spinal injury unit (SIU) in the UK. The study reviewed medical records of 28 patients admitted within 6 months of SCI between 2011-2012. 71.4% of patients reported SP on admission, which decreased to 50% on discharge. Time from injury and length of rehabilitation did not influence SP. 75% of patients whose SP improved had incomplete SCI. This study showed an overall 21.4% reduction in SP from admission to discharge at the SIU.
Results of Mini-Open Latarjet Procedure in Failed in Arthroscopic Bankart Rep...TheRightDoctors
The document summarizes a study on the mini-open Latarjet procedure for patients with failed arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent shoulder instability. 24 patients underwent the mini-open Latarjet procedure and were followed for a minimum of 2 years. Results found satisfactory range of motion, functional outcomes, and low recurrence rates. Complications were minor. The study concludes the mini-open Latarjet is an effective option for challenging cases of recurrent instability after failed soft tissue repair due to significant bone loss.
Low back pain is very common, affecting 50-80% of adults at some point. It is the leading cause of disability in the US, costing $50 billion annually. While most cases resolve within 6 weeks, pain and disability may persist longer in up to 12-72% of patients. Risk factors include poor physical fitness, obesity, smoking, and hard physical labor. Mechanical low back pain makes up 90% of cases and involves overuse or injury of back structures, while 10% have non-mechanical systemic causes. Diagnosis involves history, exam, and sometimes imaging to identify pain generators and rule out serious causes requiring prompt treatment. Initial treatment focuses on remaining active, over-the-counter medications,
High tibial osteotomy- All you need to knowdocortho Patel
This document discusses high tibial osteotomy (HTO), a surgical procedure to treat varus deformity and medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. It outlines the indications, contraindications, surgical techniques, preoperative planning, alignment goals, and complications of HTO. The goals of HTO are to relieve pain, improve function, and extend the life of the knee joint for active patients who are too young for knee replacement surgery. Attention to patient selection, preoperative planning, surgical accuracy, and rehabilitation are important for achieving successful outcomes.
The document discusses degenerative spondylolisthesis, including its definition, classification, risk factors, clinical presentation, imaging findings, non-operative and operative treatment options, and guidelines for treatment. Key points include that it most commonly affects L4-L5, is more common in females, clinical symptoms do not always correlate with radiographic progression, non-operative treatment is usually initial approach, and decompression with fusion may improve outcomes over decompression alone for single-level disease.
Management of Primary Traumatic Shoulder Instabilitywashingtonortho
This document discusses the management of primary traumatic shoulder instability through a presentation by Dr. J.R. Rudzki. Some key points discussed include:
- Age is a primary risk factor for recurrence, with rates of 100% in patients <10 years old and 79% in patients aged 20-30 years old.
- Surgical stabilization may have better outcomes than conservative treatment for young, active patients based on data from randomized controlled trials.
- For first-time dislocators, arthroscopic Bankart repair reduces the risk of recurrent instability by 76-82% compared to non-operative management.
- Factors like glenoid bone loss, large Hill-Sachs lesions, and capsular

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
