Background. There are many opinions and views regarding the methods of treatment of patellar ligament enthesopathy. No gold standard of treatment exists. This paper presents our approach involving conservative treatment and an appropriate rehabilitation regime. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of a combination of various conservative treatment techniques and the time needed to return to sport. Material and methods. The study enrolled 14 patients treated in 2019 and 2020. Knee joint evaluation was based on clinical and radiological examination (sonography and MR). All patients were treated conservatively according to a specially prepared treatment protocol. Patients were evaluated at two-week intervals until the symptoms subsided completely. The KOOS, Kujala and SF36 questionnaires were used to evaluate the results. Results. All of the patients returned to painless physical activity within 3-4 weeks from the start of treatment. In the group of professional athletes, 100% returned to sport. The return to sport took slightly longer for pa­tients with bilateral (5-6 weeks) in comparison to unilateral jumper’s knee (3-4 weeks). The longest period of return to sport, in a patient who had severe pain at rest before starting treatment, was 7 weeks. Statistically significant improvement was noted in all of the questionnaires used and in all subdomains at 6 months after the beginning of the treatment. Conclusions. 1. The conservative approach proposed by us generated promising results in the treatment of the jumper’s knee. 2. A 100% rate of return to sport was recorded among our patients.

Physical Therapies

Trigger finger (TF) disorder is a sudden release or locking of a finger during flexion or extension. Treatments for this disease are conservative and surgical, including NSAIDs, hand splints, corticosteroid injections, physical therapies and percutaneous or open surgery. However, the effectiveness about the optimal treatment of TF is still in lack of evidence. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of physical therapies as conservative treatment for trigger finger. A comprehensive literature search of the MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Library Databases and PEDro databases has been conducted without limits because few papers were published about this argument. The literature search identified four papers in PubMed. Two types of physical therapies were used in the conservative management of trigger finger: external shock wave therapy (ESWT) in three papers, and ultrasound therapy (UST) in one paper. ESWT is an effective and safe therapy for the conservative management of TF. It seems to reduce pain and trigger severity and to improve functional level and quality of life. UST has proven to be useful to prevent the recurrence of TF symptoms. Even if the results suggest the effectiveness of ESWT and UST for TF, future studies are necessary to understand the characteristics of the optimal treatment protocol for trigger finger.

Surgical Methods

Odontogenic Keratocyst is an aggressive odontogenic cyst with a high recurrence rate. After radicular and follicular cysts, odontogenic keratocysts are the third most common cyst of the jaws and approximately 12-14% of all odontogenic cysts. It has been retermed to Keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT) as it better reflects its neoplastic nature but recently it has been re classified and retermed into the cystic category. Various surgical methods have been proposed but comparatively, conservative treatment options such as Dredging methods might be the treatment of choice due to preservation of anatomical structure. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics of Odontogenic Keratocyst and provide a proper management system affected by this type of lesions. Materials and methods: The prospective study was performed in Dhaka Dental College and Hospital from a period of January 2014 to January 2018. A total number of 75 patients were selected for this study based on clinical, radiological and histopathological confirmation of odontogenic keratocysts. The treatment options were enucleation, enucleation with curettage, enucleation with peripheral ostectomy, Dredging method and surgical resection. After treatment patients were followed up 1months, 3 months and 6 months in every year at least for 5 years. Results: Among 75 patient of odontogenic keratocyst; the mean age was 27.69±13.35 and age range was 11 to 66 years. Male were 53(71%) and 22 (29%) were female patients. 53 (70.67%) cases were found in the mandible, 15(20%) cases in the maxilla and in 7(9.33%) cases were involved in both maxilla and mandible; mandibular posterior region was the most specific region involved 37(69.81%).The most common clinical features revealed pain and swelling. Radiologically, 70.66% unilocular, 96% well defined and 94.66% radiolucent area were prominent. Bone expansion 37.38%, root resorption 30.00% and 36% were associated with an impacted tooth. Regarding treatment options enucleation with curatage 12%, enucleation, curettage & peripheral ostectomy 29.33%, Dredging 52% and surgical resection 6.6% was done. Recurrence occurred in 18 patients with recurrence rate of 24%. Conclusion: Odontogenic keratocyst is an aggressive cyst, male predominant, posterior mandible is the commonest site and well defined unilocular radiolucency are commonest radiological feature. Radical treatment options such as resection reduced the recurrences of the tumour but higher morbidity and jaw deformity. Comparatively, conservative treatment options such as Dredging methods might be the treatment of choice due to preservation of anatomical structure. A long term follow up is paramount importance for the research and understanding the clinical pattern, behavior, treatment and recurrence of the lesion. Update Dent. Coll. j: 2019; 9 (1): 8-15
