Ultrasound‐Guided Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Percutaneous Treatments of Common Tendinopathies

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 6, Page 1139-1161, June 2026.
Objectives Ultrasound‐guided percutaneous needle fenestration (UPNF) and percutaneous needle tenotomy (UPNT) are minimally invasive procedures commonly used to treat chronic tendinopathies. However, these techniques can be painful, potentially limiting patient tolerance, satisfaction, and procedural feasibility. Although local anesthetics (LAs) provide

Sciatic nerve and its variations: is it possible to associate them with piriformis syndrome?

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
The sciatic nerve forms from the roots of the lumbosacral plexus and emerges from the pelvis passing inferiorly to the piriformis muscle, towards the lower limb where it divides into common tibial and fibular nerves.

Quantitative Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging Demonstrates Resolution of Muscle Edema in Refractory Dermatomyositis: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Proof‐of‐Concept Clinical Trial of Tofacitinib

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Objective To evaluate changes in muscle edema using short‐tau inversion recovery (STIR) imaging and quantitative diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping in patients with refractory dermatomyositis (DM) treated with tofacitinib. Methods This post hoc imaging analysis included patients from a 12‐week, open‐label

Anatomic considerations and the relationship between the piriformis muscle and the sciatic nerve

, 2008
Stating background The piriformis syndrome is one of the non-discogenics causes of sciatica. It results from the compression of the sciatic nerve (SN) by the piriformis muscle (PM) in the neutral and piriformis stretch test position.

Which Exercise Protocol Is Optimal for Improving Lower Crossed Syndrome in Athletes? Core Stability or NASM

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Lower crossed syndrome (LCS) is a common postural dysfunction among individuals with sedentary lifestyles; however, it can also affect athletes due to sport‐specific demands. This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of core stability exercises (CSE) and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) exercises on ...

Layer by Layer: The Anatomical ‘Onion Peel’ Approach to Surgery Beyond Total Mesorectal Excision

ANZ Journal of Surgery, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 1265-1269, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The global incidence of rectal cancer is rising, accompanied by the increasing use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Although this approach improves oncological outcomes, it frequently increases operative difficulty during rectal resection.

A case of piriformis syndrome presenting as radiculopathy

Indian Journal of Pain, 2015
Piriformis syndrome has always remained as a diagnostic dilemma because of its varied presentation. Piriformis syndrome is myofascial dysfunction syndrome which causes pain not only because of trigger points within the muscle but also due to peripheral ...

Tarlov Cyst with Pelvic Extension Mimicking an Adnexal Mass: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pelvic extension of sacral Tarlov cysts can closely resemble adnexal masses on ultrasound. When cystic pelvic lesions coexist with radicular pain or sitting intolerance, MRI is mandatory prior to gynecologic surgery. Conservative treatment is preferred unless neurological deterioration occurs.

Preservation technique of the piriformis tendon is superior to reattachment technique in terms of contiguity and muscle atrophy: using magnetic resonance imaging

, 2018
Purpose:The preservation technique of the piriformis tendon during the posterolateral approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is reportedly superior to the reattachment technique in terms of dislocation. However, the long-term effects of preservation of
