After the past few extraordinary weeks and months, we are already looking forward to the fact that the world of sports regained strength. To shorten the waiting time a little, we report in this newsletter issue about Michael Strøm, sports therapist and head of medical department of Copenhagen Basketball team. Thank you for this look inside, Michael!

In our first STORZ MEDICAL live webinar after the summer break Prof. Dr Karsten Knobloch will talk about the beneficial effects of ESWT in hand surgery.

In this live webinar Dr Alexander Sahi will talk about Low-intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (Li-ESWT) for urological disorders.

In our next webinar Prof. Dr Matthias Beck will talk about »The Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome«. The Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) is related to the tendinopathy (tendinosis, partial- and full-thickness tears) of the muscles which inserts at the greater trochanter of the femur. In addition to these degenerative changes in the tendons inflammation of the synovial bursae could be a reason for the pain in the gluteal area which is elicited by rotational hip movements and lateral position.

In our next ESWT live webinar »A Practical Introduction to ESWT and Sonography: Lower Extremity« Dr Jens Lundgren (DN) will share his knowledge and practical experiences with ultrasound imaging and shock wave treatment.

As the supervising team physician for German snowboarders, ski jumpers, nordic combiners and telemark athletes, he has many years of experience and expertise in holistic sports medicine. Shock wave therapy is an important tool in his therapeutic approach.

In the everyday practice of treating orthopaedic and sport-related diseases, not only are suitable conventional medical treatments of great importance, but also quick, precise and simple localisation of the pathological changes in the tissues to be examined, such as connective tissue, fascia, tendon and muscle. In these tissue types, the points and regions to be located are characterised by increased density, increased volume and increased pressure sensitivity, among other factors. Existing localisation options such as manual palpation or elastography are firstly time-consuming and painful, and secondly not commonly used and expensive in terms of equipment.

Shock wave therapy is an acknowledged form of treatment in urology, orthopaedics and cardiology. Wound healing is a relatively new field of application. At a STORZ MEDICAL symposium held in the course of the 17th Annual Congress of the German Wound Healing Society in Bochum, experts presented current data and informed about this promising treatment option.

A scar is the result of wound healing. When this wound healing is impaired or delayed a scar can become pathological. It is therefore imperative to prevent scarring by all means. The fragility of newly healed skin limits the treatment options. The perfect treatment should be non-invasive, anti-inflammatory and directed towards remodelling. Can Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy fill this gap?

In this webinar Dr Jens Lundgren (DN) will share his knowledge and practical experiences with ultrasound imaging and shock wave treatment. Dr Lundgren`s knowlegde in shock wave therapy and ultrasound as both therapist and educator has earned him a reputation as an expert in this field. Ultrasound can be a tool to do a better diagnosis and thus improves the results of the shock wave treatment. The insights that are provided by ultrasound help to target the treatment area for shock wave therapy.
