TL;DR: The minimally invasive DHS technique produces better outcome measures in the operating time, length of hospital stay, and blood loss compared to the conventional approach while maintaining equal fixation stability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Collaboration Database, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) Search review, National Guidelines, Scopus and Google Scholar was performed using keywords such as 'eccentric exercise','sports injuries rehabilitation', 'tendinopathy', 'hamstrings strain' 'adductor injuries' and 'ACL reconstruction rehabilitation'.

TL;DR: Preliminary studies support the idea that synthetic scaffolds can provide an alternative for rotator cuff augmentation with an enormous therapeutic potential and discuss the implications of these literature data on the future directions for the use of these scaffolds in tendon repair procedures.

TL;DR: Serum lipid levels may be a risk factor for IVD pathology and an enhanced understanding of these factors holds the promise of new approaches to the prevention and management ofIVD pathology.

TL;DR: Conservative management of chronic ankle instability can be a viable option in selected patients and failure of conservative management can be an indication for surgery if morbidity warrants it.
