Huge Bursitis Associated With Scapular Osteochondroma Presenting as a Giant Mass of the Chest Wall: A Case Presentation
We present a case of huge scapulothoracic bursitis associated with scapular osteochondroma detected via computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) The bursa presented as a giant cystic mass on CT scan. A 19-year-old female patient presented with a giant left-sided posterolateral chest wall mass and left scapular elevation. She had a 4-month history of mild pain in the posterolateral aspect of the left chest wall. She did not participate in any sports activities and had no limitations in function of the left shoulder.

Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release Using Dynamic Expansion of the Transverse Safe Zone in a Patient With Postpolio Syndrome: A Case Report
The prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in patients with postpolio syndrome occurs at a rate of 22%. Irrespective of those with CTS, 74% of postpolio patients weight bear through their arms for ambulation or transfers. As open carpal tunnel release is performed along the weight-bearing region of the wrist, their functional independence may be altered while recovering. This case demonstrates that ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release was successfully performed in a patient with postpolio syndrome allowing him to immediately weight bear through his hands after the procedure so he could recover at home.

Predicting 1 Repetition Maximum Using Handheld Dynamometry
Isometric assessment of muscular function using a handheld dynamometer (HHD) is frequently used in clinic environments. However, there is controversy in terms of the validity of isometric assessment to monitor changes in dynamic performance. One repetition maximum (1RM) is considered the gold standard for evaluating dynamic strength, though clinicians do not often use 1RM testing, preferring to be cautious with clients who have preexisting impairments. If strength testing using an HHD could be used to predict 1RM, this may have significant implications for the use of isometric testing to prescribe exercise in clinical envi...

Sonographic Changes After Ultrasound-Guided Release of the Transverse Carpal Ligament: A Case Report
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy, resulting in 500,000 carpal tunnel release (CTR) surgeries and a total cost of more than 2 billion dollars annually in the United States. Although initially performed via a large (3-5 cm) palmar incision, CTR techniques have continually evolved to reduce recovery times and postoperative pain and improve cosmesis and clinical outcomes. More recently, multiple authors have reported excellent results after ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release (USCTR) using a variety of techniques, and one prospective randomized trial reported faster recovery after USCTR compa...
