🚨 Lateral Cutaneous Nerve Compression
⭐️The lateral cutaneous nerve typically passes under the inguinal ligament, but in 13% of cases, it traverses the ligament, increasing the risk of compression and leading to meralgia paresthetica.

Rectus femoris muscle overload: what do we expect to find in ultrasound?
Rectus femoris muscle injuries are very common in sports activities, and ultrasound is a highly sensitive tool for diagnosing them.
Based on the ultrasound criteria described in the previous publication, both in static images and in dynamic studies, to diagnose rectus femoris muscle overload, the following must be observed:
A) Static ultrasound:
A1.- In the axial image, an increase in “tension” of the indirect tendon is observed, characterized by an almost perpendicular orientation instead of its normal coma morphology.
A2.- In the longitudinal plane, the pennation angle increases compared to the contralateral muscle without alteration of the typical fibrillar pattern.
B) Dynamic ultrasound:
B1.- A lesser muscle deformity is seen on sonocompression with the transducer associated with a greater muscle tone on “sonopalpation”.
B2.- There is little muscle mobility during isometric contraction, significantly less than the opposite side and with minimal increase in its anteroposterior diameter.

🌟 ASAS researchers recommend using axSpA as the overarching term for axial spondyloarthritis. They prefer radiographic-axSpA over ankylosing spondylitis. These changes aim to standardize terminology and improve clarity in diagnosis and treatment.

Frequent corticosteroid injection in shoulders with rotator cuff tear leads to upregulation of proteins and genes leading to adipogenesis and muscle atrophy, and downregulation of myogenic and inflammatory substances.

Radiofrequency denervation of the lumbar facets is the most evidenced procedure for treating facet mediated low back pain. But is it helpful or harmful?🧵

Rotator cuff muscles/tendons
☑️supraspinatus👉🏼a single tendon within a bipennate muscle
☑️subscapularis👉🏼four tendons that span the insertion
☑️infraspinatus👉🏼an oblique head (effective head depressor) & a transverse head (effective external rotator)
