T-Thesys therapy is an innovative treatment that can be used even in the presence of recent injuries. For this reason, we studied the T-Thesys use in the post-operative phase of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction of the knee. For our study, we selected 51 patients for ACL surgery, and we divided participants in two groups: the Experimental Group (EG) and the Control Group (CG). The EG consisted of 34 patients (age: 26.9 ± 7.65 years) who underwent T-Thesys therapy after surgery, while the CG included 17 patients (age: 26.7 ± 6.8 years) who was not subjected to T-Thesys therapy after surgery. T-Thesys therapy was performed on a daily basis and participants' parameters were monitored throughout the treatment. For the EG, we did not find any significant differences, however, subjective disorders seemed to disappear, almost entirely, at the seventh application. The CG showed no significant differences, even in the subjective disorders investigated. Therefore, the therapeutic treatment associated with T-Thesys therapy seems to not show any efficacy compared to the surgical treatment alone. However, from our findings emerged differences which tend to highlight a better clinical response, a faster recovery time, an improvement on the quality of life in patients, and, moreover, a better use of the National Health System resources.

Background The present study assessed the prevalence of non-contact muscle injuries of the lower limbs, including hamstring injuries, in professional Russian soccer players who regularly perform Salah, an obligatory Muslim prayer performed 5 times a day. Methods Using a retrospective cohort study design, 68 professional male soccer players (excluding goalkeepers), 34 of whom were Muslims regularly performing Salah (exposure group) and 34 were randomly chosen non-Muslim players (control group), were included in the study. The groups were similar in their playing leagues, field positions, age (27 ± 3.1 vs 28 ± 4.2 years), and body mass index (22 ± 1.2 vs 23 ± 0.92 kg/m2). Results The incidence of hamstring injury was significantly lower in the exposure group (2 vs 14, p = 0.0085). A declining trend for the number of muscle injuries (either hamstring or not) was observed in the exposure group (11 vs 27, p = 0.0562). Two players in the exposure group and 11 in the control group (p = 0.0115, OR 0.1307, 95% CI 0.0276 to 0.5698) suffered a hamstring injury, with no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of other injuries. The total amount of the training and play days missed because of hamstring and other muscle injuries was significantly lower in the exposure group (24 vs 213 days, p = 0.0043, and 200 vs 344 days, p = 0.0066, respectively). Conclusion The prevalence of non-contact muscle injuries, including hamstring injuries, was lower in professional Russian soccer players who regularly performed Salah.

Introduction: Rectus femoris muscle injuries are common in sports. Although majority of these injuries are treated conservatively, some tend to present significant disability which could compromise the returning to pre-activity level of competition in athletes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate possible benefits of operative treatment in acute and recurrent rectus femoris ruptures. Methods: Retrospectively, a total of 27 patients (23 men, 4 women) with grade 4 rectus femoris muscle rupture which located at the diaphyseal area between proximal and distal myotendinous junctions. Operative treatment was carried out in the acute (8 cases, < 4 weeks after injury) or recurrent rectus femoris ruptures (19 cases). Results: 20 (74%) patients had excellent or good results, moderate results in 6 (26 %) and poor (required re-operation after re-injury) in 1 (4%) patients. The return to pre-activity level of competition was 5 months on average. Adverse events were haematoma (n=4, percutaneously drained), superficial infection (n=1, healed with cephalexin antibiotics), partial dehiscence of the wound (n=1, no intervention). Conclusion:Based on these cases, excellent or good results may often be expected after surgical repair of grade 4 rectus femoris midsubstance ruptures. Level of evidence: IV, Case series.
