Good news for ultrasound guided #hydrodilatation, which works well for us - shame the study doesn’t compare with MUA

#morellavalleelesion - soft tissue #shearinginjury -diagnosis is often delayed as this is not a well known condition. If you have a lot of soft tissue swelling after a fall and/or if you have slid along the ground,… https://t.co/bzIqqfXuh5

Becoming a common theme in musculoskeletal practice! Why does it take having surgery to "buy time for rehab"? Applies to sport and the workplace I think. What are we physios doing wrong in selling the importance of getting time for what we do? 🤔

#shinsplints or medial tibial stress syndrome - MRI is usually the best test and is readily available. X-rays only have an approximately 50% chance of a #stressfracture https://t.co/l92Uz71Izg

Nice abstract on treatment of lateral hip pain #glutealtendinopathy #bursitis #tendonitis https://t.co/t0eB0XZ5bK

[Cotswold Radiology @CotswoldMri]

The rehab exercises are the key here. The injection only helps to get you going in the first few months if you are in severe pain and/or help work out the diagnosis if it isn’t clear #glutealtendinopathy #lateralhippain #bursitis #tendinosis

[Cotswold Radiology @CotswoldMri]

Ostenil Plus #injections for mild to moderate #osteoarthritis - we’re finding it lasts for at least 3-4 months and this improves with subsequent injections.

#musclehernia - after stud injury to shin - affecting tibialis anterior muscle - you can’t fix them so needs #fasciotomy instead - unusual cause for #lump https://t.co/iiTG9iMoxg

With footballers I found some hypermobile & we almost banned stretching & others so tight they needed to stretch heaps. So it became "one man's poison is another man's medicine." https://t.co/9mvykw2TOo

High volume #injections for #Achilles and #patellar #tendinosis - no need for #steroid - the higher volume is thought to break up the cycle of inflammation

The picture below shows an #ultrasound guided #injection of the #Achilles #tendon, which has some patchy #calcification

Treatment list for 2018. High volume injections for tendinopathy and frozen shoulder work well to aid rehabilitation. They also don't necessarily need to be done with steroid as the volume of fluid is what provides the effective treatment.

Key points from @ChrisMBleakley on acute injury - ice, compression and elevation may have a role but movement is key and our loading variables help sculpt tissue response. Load early, load optimally and load with purpose. #sportskongres

[Running-Physio @tomgoom]

Nice conclusions to a great lecture from Christian Couppé on loading for tendinopathy at #sportskongres
- load magnitude and time under tension are key
- contraction type (ISO/CON/ECC) less important
- heavy slow loading may be preferable with ~75% getting good outcome
