Pragmatic Clinical TrialCorticosteroid injection is the best treatment in plantar fasciitis if combined with controlled training.
Plantar fasciitis is a very common (lifetime incidence ~ 10%) and long-lasting injury with major impact on daily function. Combining corticosteroid injection and physical training (strength training and stretching) was hypothesized to result in a superior effect compared to each treatment separately. ⋯ 1.

Anterior cruciate ligament repair with Independent Suture Tape Reinforcement: a case series with 2-year follow-up.
The treatment of acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures with a repair technique has recently regained interest. A novel ACL repair technique was described using Independent Suture Tape Reinforcement with 2-year follow-up results. ⋯ IV.

High short-term return to sports rate despite an ongoing healing process after acute meniscus repair in young athletes.
Acute meniscus repair in young athletes is always a challenge due to the long rehabilitation process and time to return to sport (RTS). The purpose was to investigate signal alterations in short-term follow-up after acute meniscus repair on specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan sequences. It was hypothesized that (1) MRI signal changes over the first postoperative healing phase and represent a continuous healing process and (2) meniscus healing properties correlates with clinical outcomes and RTS. ⋯ Therapeutic study, prospective case series, Level IV.

Randomized Controlled TrialReturn to sport after acute acromioclavicular stabilization: a randomized control of double-suture-button system versus clavicular hook plate compared to uninjured shoulder sport athletes.
Traumatic high-grade acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) separations can be surgically stabilized by numerous anatomic and non-anatomic procedures. The return to sport (Maffe et al. in Am J Sports Med 23:93-98, 1995] and remaining sport-associated impairments after acute ACJ stabilization has not yet been investigated. ⋯ I.
