Burners and stingers, common injuries in contact and collision sports, produce a stinging or burning pain that spreads from an athlete’s shoulder to his or her hand. Most of these injuries are temporary and symptoms fade quickly. Learn more about the causes, symptoms, and treatments of burners and stingers.
Dr. David Epstein co-authored a clinical study on mini-open Achilles tendon repairs. The seven-year study included over 100 patient cases involving mini-open and open surgical techniques.
The authors concluded that the mini-open technique improved outcomes while decreasing complications compared to the open technique.
