Histological and ultrastructural degenerative findings in the gluteus medius tendon after hip arthroplasty
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-26)<i>Background</i> - Despite gluteus medius (GMED) tendinosis being relatively common, its presence in association with hip osteoarthritis (OA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not well studied. It was hypothesized that more tendon degeneration would be found in patients with OA of the hip and in those that had undergone THA than that in a control group.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - One hundred ... -
Human articular chondrocytes express ChemR23 and chemerin; ChemR23 promotes inflammatory signalling upon binding the ligand chemerin 21-157
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)Chemerin is a chemotactic peptide which directs leukocytes expressing the chemokine-like receptor ChemR23 towards sites of inflammation. ChemR23 is a G protein-coupled receptor which binds several different ligands, and it is also expressed by other cell types such as adipocytes. In addition to chemotaxis, recent reports suggest that ChemR23 is capable of mediating either inflammatory or anti-inflammatory ... -
Medium-Term Results After Treatment of Recalcitrant Lateral Epicondylitis A Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing Open Release and Radiofrequency Microtenotomy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background: Recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis (elbow extensor–origin tendinosis) is a common cause of elbow pain with many treatment options. In the present study, the medium-term results after open release and radiofrequency microtenotomy are reported. Hypothesis: Microtenotomy would provide long-term pain relief that was as good as the open release method. Study Design: Prospective, randomized ... -
More histologic and ultrastructural degenerative signs in the subscapularis tendon and the joint capsule in male patients with shoulder impingement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-02)<p><i>Purpose</i>: The purpose of the present study was to analyze biopsy samples from the subscapularis tendon and from the joint capsule from male patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SAIS) and compare them with samples from male patients with post-traumatic recurrent shoulder instability. The hypothesis of the study was that patients with SAIS would have more histologic and ultrastructural ... -
No significant histological or ultrastructural tendinosis changes in the hamsting tendon in patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-20)Purpose To investigate the periarticular degenerative changes of the knee joint in association with osteoarthritis (OA). More tendinosis was expected to be found in the semitendinosus tendon in patients with knee OA than in patients without knee OA.<p> Methods Samples from 41 patients were included between January 2016 and October 2017. Twenty-one patients median age 53 (33–63) years with mild ... -

A novel combination of peripheral nerve blocks for arthroscopic shoulder surgery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-04)<p><i>Background - </i>Interscalene brachial plexus block is currently the gold standard for intra‐ and post‐operative pain management for patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However, it is associated with block related complications, of which effect on the phrenic nerve have been of most interest. Side effects caused by general anesthesia, when this is required, are also a concern. ... -
Radiofrequency Microtenotomy or Physical Therapy for Achilles Tendinopathy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-20)Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a painful disorder, and various treatment options are available. Bipolar radiofrequency microtenotomy (RFM) has shown promising results in treating tendinosis.<p> <p>Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to compare the results between treatment with bipolar RFM and physical therapy (PT) for patients with midportion Achilles tendinopathy. It was hypothesized that ... -

Retro-trochanteric sciatica-like pain : current concept
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)The aim of this manuscript is to review the current knowledge in terms of retro-trochanteric pain syndrome, make recommendations for diagnosis and differential diagnosis and offer suggestions for treatment options. The terminology in the literature is confusing and these symptoms can be referred to as ‘greater trochanteric pain syndrome’, ‘trochanteric bursitis’ and ‘trochanteritis’, among other ...
