Risk of septic arthritis following corticosteroid and platelet‐rich plasma injections: A multicenter retrospective review

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Platelet‐rich plasma injections (PRPI) are a relatively new and evolving treatment option for a variety of musculoskeletal injuries. It has been theorized that there is an increased risk of septic arthritis (SA) with PRPI, though there have been no dedicated studies to assess the incidence of SA and only three cases have been ...

The effect of different designs of custom foot orthoses on pain and balance in individuals with plantar fasciitis: A randomized controlled trial with 6‐month follow‐up

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common cause of heel pain that significantly affects daily activities. Although custom foot orthoses (CFOs) are widely used to treat this condition, there is limited evidence comparing different orthotic designs and their effects on balance parameters.
