  1. Fulltext Idiopathic frozen shoulder
    Brun SP
    Aust J Gen Pract, 2019 11;48(11):757-761.
    PMID: 31722459 DOI: 10.31128/AJGP-07-19-4992
    BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain and stiffness affects at least one-quarter of the Australian population, with the primary care physician seeing 95% of these patients. Idiopathic frozen shoulder affects >250,000 Australians, making it a significant burden on both the individual and society. The primary care physician plays a major part in recognising the condition and formulating an evidence-based management plan in conjunction with the physiotherapist.

    OBJECTIVE: This article provides the reader with an understanding of the natural history, pathophysiology, phases and clinical features of idiopathic frozen shoulder. It also outlines patients at risk of developing idiopathic frozen shoulder and addresses an evidence-based conservative approach to the management of this condition.

    DISCUSSION: The primary care physician plays a pivotal part in the identification and management of idiopathic frozen shoulder, with the vast majority of patients responding to conservative management. A shared care approach with a skilled physiotherapist is essential.

  2. Fulltext Cutaneous melioidosis in a healthy Danish man after travelling to South-East Asia
    Bodilsen J, Langgaard H, Nielsen HL
    BMJ Case Rep, 2015 Jan 16;2015.
    PMID: 25596295 DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2014-207340
    A healthy Danish man presented with infected prepatellar bursitis 8 months after being involved in a car accident in Malaysia resulting in exposure of a laceration of his knee to stagnant water. Tissue samples grew Burkholderia pseudomallei and diagnostic work up revealed no secondary foci. The patient was successfully treated with surgical debridement and 3 months of oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. At 6 months follow-up the patient was without relapse.

  3. Fulltext Painful Pes Anserine Bursitis Following Total Knee Replacement Surgery: Two cases
    Ariff MAM, Ros MIAC, Yahaya NHM
    Sultan Qaboos Univ Med J, 2018 Feb;18(1):e97-e99.
    PMID: 29666689 DOI: 10.18295/squmj.2018.18.01.016
    Pes anserine bursitis (PAB) is an inflammation of the bursa located between the medial aspect of the tibia and the hamstring muscles. It is common in patients with degenerative or inflammatory knee arthritis, usually has a self-limiting course and tends to respond well to conservative treatment. However, painful PAB directly following total knee replacement surgery is rare. We report two such cases who were diagnosed via ultrasonography at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2015. Both patients were treated locally with triamcinolone acetonide under ultrasound guidance and responded well to treatment.
