Gluteal Tendinopathy: A Review of Mechanisms, Assessment and Management
Abstract Tendinopathy of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tendons is now recognized as a primary local source of lateral hip pain. The condition mostly occurs in mid-life both in athletes and in subjects who do not regularly exercise. Females are afflicted more than males. This condition interferes with sleep (side lying) and common weight-bearing tasks, which makes it a debilitating musculoskeletal condition with a significant impact. Mechanical loading drives the biological processes within a tendon and determines its structural form and load-bearing capacity. The combination of excessive compression a...

Lateral Epicondylosis: Emerging Management Options
Lateral epicondylosis is one of the most prevalent disorders of the arm and results in significantly decreased function among the workforce and athletes. Historically, the disorder has been diagnosed clinically and treated as an inflammatory entity. Management strategies have included anti-inflammatory medications and techniques, including oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, injected corticosteroid, and physical therapy with modalities. More recent literature postulates a degenerative or compressive etiology, directing some clinicians to try new, more regenerative management strategies such as platelet-rich plasma and s...

Proximal Biceps in Overhead Athletes
The proximal long head of the biceps tendon and its attachment at the superior glenoid tubercle and labrum are subject to a spectrum of disorders in overhead athletes. Biceps disorders are commonly characterized by intermittent anterior or deep-seated shoulder pain exacerbated by activity. Diagnosis is reached via various physical examination maneuvers; MRI can be uncertain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, targeted ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections, and supervised physical therapy are the mainstays of nonoperative treatment. Operative treatment, which remains controversial, provides reliable pain reli...

Corticosteroid and platelet-rich plasma injection therapy in tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia): a survey of current UK specialist practice and a call for clinical guidelines
Conclusions Recent high-quality evidence that corticosteroids may delay recovery in tennis elbow appears to have had a limited effect on current practice. Treatment is not uniform among specialists and a proportion of them use platelet-rich plasma injections.

Long Term and Intensive Use of Ophthalmic Topical Corticosteroids and the Risk of Positive Doping Test in Athletes: A Case Report
Conclusions: It seems to be required to investigate the systemic effects on long term and excessive use of topical corticosteroid drops can have on the result of the sample analysis and showing positive results.,Introduction: We express the detection of the prohibited substance prednisone, prednisolone in player’s urine sample by long and intensive use eye steroid drops.,Case Presentation: In a rare case in Iranian football, a player’s urine sample had corticosteroids. After all investigations, it was demonstrated that systemic effects can be induced by using long-term of ophthalmic prednisone.

Detrimental Effect of Repeated and Single Subacromial Corticosteroid Injections on the Intact and Injured Rotator Cuff: A Biomechanical and Imaging Study in Rats
Conclusion: The study results clearly showed that repeated doses of corticosteroids significantly weaken rat RC and negatively affect bone quality in addition to possibly causing deterioration of the osteotendinous junction. However, data retrieved from animals must be scrupulously analyzed before extrapolation to humans. As such, the potential benefits and harms of subacromial corticosteroid treatment must be considered before administration. Clinical Relevance: The potential benefit and detrimental effects of corticosteroid injection should be thoroughly considered before it is administered subacromially in patients with RC injuries.

Corticosteroid Injections Accelerate Pain Relief and Recovery of Function Compared With Oral NSAIDs in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: In patients with adhesive capsulitis, a single corticosteroid injection applied without image control provides faster pain relief and earlier improvement of shoulder function and motion compared with oral NSAIDs.

Ultrasound-Guided Versus Blind Subacromial Corticosteroid Injections for Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: A Randomized, Double-Blind Clinical Trial
Conclusion: No significant differences were found in the clinical outcome when comparing ultrasound-guided subacromial injections to blind subacromial injections for subacromial impingement syndrome. Clinical Trial Registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12615000562572

Intra-articular hip injections: is there a role for ultrasound?
Injection of medications such as corticosteroids, local anaesthetics and viscosupplements are becoming increasingly important means of diagnosis and local, targeted treatment of various hip pathologies, in particular, osteoarthritis.1 2 Obtaining needle access to the hip joint is challenging due to its deep anatomic location and proximity to neurovascular structures, and therefore, imaging guidance is often advocated. Fluoroscopy has been the traditional method of choice for needle placement; sonography offers additional benefits in visualisation of neurovascular structures, lack of ionising radiation, portability and poss...

Iliopsoas
Disorders of the iliopsoas can be a significant source of groin pain in the athletic population. Commonly described pathologic conditions include iliopsoas bursitis, tendonitis, impingement, and snapping. The first-line treatment for iliopsoas disorders is typically conservative, including activity modification, physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid injections. Surgical treatment can be considered if the patient fails conservative measures and typically involves arthroscopic lengthening the musculotendinous unit and treatment of concomitant intra-articular abnormality. Tendon release ha...

Hamstring Injuries in the Athlete: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Return to Play
Hamstring injuries are very common in athletes. Acute hamstring strains can occur with high-speed running or with excessive hamstring lengthening. Athletes with proximal hamstring tendinopathy often do not report a specific inciting event; instead, they develop the pathology from chronic overuse. A thorough history and physical examination is important to determine the appropriate diagnosis and rule out other causes of posterior thigh pain. Conservative management of hamstring strains involves a rehabilitation protocol that gradually increases intensity and range of motion, and progresses to sport-specific and neuromuscula...

Injection therapies for lateral epicondylalgia: a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis
Conclusions Some commonly used injection therapies can be considered treatment candidates for lateral epicondylalgia, such as botulinum toxin, platelet-rich plasma and autologous blood injection, but corticosteroid is not recommended. Hyaluronate injection and prolotherapy might be more effective, but their superiority must be confirmed by more research. The peppering technique is not helpful in injection therapies.
