At least in soft tissue pain %85can be treated without requiring surgery.
What are Soft Tissues?
Soft tissues are the tendons, muscles, ligaments, bursae, capsules, nerves, and other structures outside the joint. They almost always become painful as a result of overuse and sometimes as a result of sudden strain or impact.
Soft Ligament Damages
- Ligament damage or tears,
- Bursitis,
- Capsule looseness or ruptures,
- Muscle pain or tearing,
- Nerve compressions,
- Tendon pain or tears,
- Tendon calcification.
Diagnosis of Soft Ligament Diseases
- A detailed and numerous question-based history of the disease (how the pain started, at what levels it continued, when it occurred, under what conditions it increased or decreased, whether it responded to medications, etc.) and the patient's characteristics (sensitivity to pain, fear of illness, fear of not getting better, concern about being dependent on family members, etc.). After a history with these characteristics, the diagnosis of at least of the patients can be decided before the examination.
- An examination consisting of detailed and numerous tests, revealing the tissue from which the pain originates. After an examination with these characteristics, a correct and definitive diagnosis of the patients' can be made.
- The history and examination features are consistent with each other and support the diagnosis. If there is no incompatibility, imaging examination is performed.
- History, examination and imaging studies must be consistent and support the diagnosis. At this stage, it is necessary to discuss evidence-based treatment options appropriate for the patient.
