Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a non-negligible multifaceted condition affecting more than 30% of the global population. Superficial heat therapy (HT) through increasing tissues temperatures plays a role in increasing local metabolism and function and relieving pain. Knee pain and sports represent two relevant fields of superficial HT application. Methods: In the present paper a panel of experts performed a narrative review of the literature regarding the role of superficial HT in the management of knee pain and sport activities. Results: According to the reviewed literature, HT represents a therapeutic option in the management of musculoskeletal pain due to three main effects: pain relief, promotion of healing and return to normal function and activity. Moreover, HT plays a role in sport activities both before and after exercise. Before performing sports, HT helps in preparing muscles for performance. After performing sports, it is capable to promote recovery and healing pathways. Combining and sequencing superficial heat and cold therapy represent an interesting topic of study. Overall, application of heat wraps for superficial HT can be considered safe. Conclusions: Despite being an ancient method, HT shows to be a potentially beneficial and safe option in the management of several conditions including KP and sports. The key in the application of superficial HT is a multimodal and multidisciplinary approach.

“…Considering the neglected injuries and the recent increasing popularity of sports participation among both the general public and professional athletes, the frequency of MCL injuries might be much higher than expected. Although the MCL has a relatively good healing capacity, several studies have demonstrated that healing ligaments are less organized with decreased mechanical strength, leading to an increased risk of reinjury and poor functional outcome [68]. For this reason, there is a consistent need for new strategies to expedite the restoration of the injured MCL to its normal condition.…”

Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Enhanced Healing of the Medial Collateral Ligament of the Knee Joint

et al. 2023

Background and Objectives: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the major supporting ligaments of the knee joint, and MCL injuries are common where excessive valgus loading is applied to the knee joint. Although most MCL injuries can be treated conservatively, healing of the MCL can take several weeks to months. Furthermore, once injured, the biomechanical properties of the healed MCL differ from those of the native MCL, resulting in an increased risk of re-injury and chronic remnant symptoms. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), owing to their therapeutic potential, have been investigated in various musculoskeletal injuries, and some preclinical studies regarding MSC-based approaches in MCL injuries have shown promising results. Despite satisfactory results in preclinical studies, there is still a lack of clinical studies in the orthopedic literature. This article describes the basic knowledge of the MCL, standard treatments for MCL injuries, and recent studies regarding the application of MSCs for enhanced healing of the MCL. MSC-based approaches are expected to be a potential therapeutic option for enhanced healing of the MCL in the future.

“…The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a major stabilizer of the medial knee joint and is the most commonly injured knee ligament as a result of valgus force on the knee. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 Injury to the components of the MCL, namely the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL), the posterior oblique ligament (POL), and the deep medial collateral ligament (dMCL), frequently occurs due to combined valgus–external rotational forces on the tibia. 3 , 5 While most MCL injuries can still be managed nonoperatively with a good functional outcome, 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 reconstruction is indicated in cases of persistent grade 3 medial knee laxity.…”
