Non-traumatic Medial-Sided Elbow Pain: A Comprehensive Review of Etiologies, Diagnostic Strategies, and Treatment Approaches
Medial elbow pain is a rare and often underrecognized condition. In non-traumatic cases, such as medial epicondylitis (ME), ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, snapping medial triceps, and posteromedial impingement, the clinical presentations are often similar, making diagnosis challenging. This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence regarding the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for non-traumatic medial elbow pain.
Effects and dosage of exercise therapy on functional outcomes in chronic ankle instability: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation
To evaluate the effects of exercise therapy on patient-oriented function among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and analyze the influence of exercise dosage characteristics on these outcomes.
The Statistical Fragility of Randomized Controlled Trials Comparing Hip Arthroscopy to Conservative Management for the Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Journal of Hip Preservation Surgery
The primary objective of the current study was to evaluate the FI/CFI of RCTs comparing HA and PT in the treatment of FAIS to determine the robustness of results reported to be statistically significant. The most important finding of the current study was that the median and mean CFI of included studies were 13 and 15.84, respectively. This means that, on average, it would take approximately 16 subjects to change the outcome to be no longer significant. CFI for included studies tended to be greater than the loss to follow-up, which is suggestive that the findings observed may be robust enough to resist differences that could have resulted from those patients.

Comparison of Outcomes Between Modular Dual Mobility and Conventional Hip Implants in Primary, Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty
Modular dual mobility designs (MDM) are designed to reduce the risk of postoperative dislocations following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study investigated both the usage and outcomes (ie, patient-reported outcomes and complications) associated with MDM hips compared with conventional implant designs.
