This device compared favorably to other treatment methods for shoulder stiffness. An orthosis utilizing static progressive stretch was a useful adjunct for the treatment of shoulder stiffness refractory to conventional therapy.
Foreign body objects could be a cause of prepatellar bursitis. This is the only reported case in the literature
describing prepatellar bursitis caused by a glass foreign body and the use of endoscopy to retrieve it. During
an endoscopic bursectomy to alleviate symptoms of prepatellar bursitis, glass was discovered. The glass
was removed and the prepatellar space irrigated and debrided to removed inflamed tissue. This case
highlights the only case report of prepatellar bursitis caused by a retained foreign body and the use of
endoscopy to remove it. Endoscopic bursectomy is a viable alternative to open bursectomy to minimize
wound complications and allow faster recovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
