TL;DR: Intraarticular steroid infiltration or radiofrequency denervation appear to be a managing option for chronic function-limiting low back pain of facet origin with favorable short- and midterm results in terms of pain relief and function improvement, but improvements were similar in both groups.

TL;DR: Although the improvement in Constant score was greater in the high- energy group compared to the low-energy group, statistical analyses showed no significant difference between the groups with respect to all parameters studied (Constant score/pain/subjective improvement) after 12 weeks and one year follow-up.

TL;DR: The degree of concordance of two objective classifications of hip morphology and subjective parameters by three investigators with different levels of experience was examined to demonstrate high intra-observer reproducibility and limits of agreement.

TL;DR: There is a significant association between the size and location of a rotator cuff tear and MMP expression and increased MMP 1 and 9 expression, and decreased MMP 3 expression are found in LHB degeneration.

TL;DR: Diclofenac sodium 4 % spray gel was found to penetrate the skin locally in substantial amounts and thus reach the desired target tissue and should be considered a valuable alternative to systemic NSAID therapy in the initial treatment of osteoarthritis.
