Abstract
Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by intense pain and progressive limitation of mobility in the glenohumeral joint, often associated with diseases such as diabetes and autoimmune conditions. Its etiology remains incompletely understood but involves inflammatory and fibrotic factors that lead to adhesions of the articular capsule. The clinical presentation is divided into three phases: Inflammatory, frozen, and resolution, each varying in duration and symptom intensity. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has emerged as a non-invasive treatment approach for this condition, showing positive results in improving range of motion and reducing pain. ESWT works by modulating the inflammatory response and promoting tissue regeneration, as evidenced by studies demonstrating its beneficial effects, especially when combined with other therapies. A detailed case study of a 58-year-old patient with a trauma history indicating adhesive capsulitis is presented, highlighting the symptoms and limitations encountered. Treatment included shockwave applications, following the CapsuWave technique, which optimizes treatment administration. Results suggest that ESWT offers a more accelerated functional recovery compared to other therapies, such as corticosteroid injections. Continued investigation into the pathophysiology of adhesive capsulitis and the efficacy of shockwave therapy is crucial for developing more effective treatment options. A multidisciplinary approach, integrating diverse areas of medicine, is essential for the proper management of this complex condition, aiming not only for pain reduction but also for improving the patients’ quality of life.

Editorial:
Medical education has currently a variety of tools as never before in the history of mankind. Options include everything from telepresence to virtual reality. However, interaction with patients remains, as in the past, an unsurpassed source of learning. Health-care practice provides learning about the way different pathologies manifest, their clinical course, and the response to different treatments.
A simple way to share that experience is through case reporting. A case report consists of a detailed description of significant clinical information of a case or a small group of patients, presenting pathologies not previously described, new therapeutic methodologies, or cases with an unusual response to treatment.
This type of study has often been underestimated because it is a category of publication with a low level of evidence [1-4] and does not have a high citation rate [1, 2, 4, 5]. These causes have led to case reports being a small segment of health publications [4].
However, these studies can provide important information [1-9]. Case reports can be the basis of future large-scale clinical studies [6], can reveal facts that often go unnoticed in large series of patients [3], and be the starting point for the development of new treatments [3]. They can demonstrate results in one or a few cases with therapeutic methods previously tested in animal experiments [4].
Case reports have made it possible to detect severe adverse effects [3, 4]. Nayak described that the teratogenic effect of thalidomide was identified through a case report of phocomelia [3].
We must also be aware that the publication of a case report is often the first step of a young colleague in the world of publications. That is why it should be encouraged. The publication of case reports allows even those who have less economic or institutional support for their academic activity to transmit their experience. It is a way to democratize scientific exchange and not depend only on supposed elites that end up transforming clinical research production groups into small aristocracies that generate only a one-way exchange.
Writing a case report has been described not only as an academic procedure but also as an art [8].
There is useful information in the literature about how to write this type of manuscripts [3, 4, 6, 8, 10]. Cases must be original and transmit information that has an impact on clinical practice. They must be structured like the rest of the publications, provide a complete and correct description of the case, and have solid bibliographic support.
Starting in this volume we will include case reports. On this occasion, they come from different colleagues from Ibero America. We also incorporated a new section that consists of critical reading of scientific publications related to regenerative medicine. Contributions, proposals, and criticisms will be welcome.

Abstract
Calcific tendonitis in the shoulder is very common. Patients who do not improve with physical therapy treatment may benefit from shockwave treatment before an invasive procedure is indicated. The focused shockwave treatment has a high degree of recommendation in calcific tendonitis of the shoulder, according to several studies with a high level of evidence. This report shows a 58-year-old female patient with calcific tendonitis of the shoulder with pain for more than 6 months without response to medication and rehabilitation treatment. Four sessions of 3000 pulses were performed with a focused shockwave piezoelectric device, with a maximum level of energy of 0.4 mj/mm2. Pain remission and calcification resorption were verified 3 months after the last application. Extracorporeal Shockwave Treatment is a safe and effective alternative for calcific tendonitis of the shoulder.

Abstract
Shock waves have changed medical therapy substantially. Accounting for the epidemiology of the treated diseases, this therapeutic tool may equal or even surpass the impact of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Lower limb fractures after intramedullary nailing generally heal without problems when there are good local conditions and no associated pathologies, but sometimes if the biomechanical or biological variables are not ideal, they can lead to a delay in healing or develop a non-union. Extracorporeal shock waves therapy is a treatment option in delayed union and no-union after intramedullary nailing in lower limbs cases in which there is mechanical stability of the fracture focus, as they can allow healing without the need for new surgeries.

Abstract
The text addresses the relationship between joint hypermobility (JH), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) in patients, discussing the complexity, and comorbidities associated with these conditions. A clinical case is presented, along with the treatment, including focused shockwave therapy as a non-invasive therapeutic approach. The effectiveness of shockwave therapy is discussed in relation to pain relief and musculoskeletal system regeneration, based on studies and scientific evidence.
However, despite the potential benefits, further research is still needed to fully understand the effects of these therapies in patients with specific conditions, such as JHjoint hypermobility and ehlers-danlos syndrome (EDS. The safety and efficacy of shockwave therapy are also discussed, emphasizing the importance of following rigorous protocols to avoid complications.
This summary highlights the relevance of shockwave therapy in the treatment of TMD and other musculoskeletal conditions, providing a comprehensive view of therapeutic approaches and clinical considerations involved.

Abstract
Papillary intralymphatic angioendothelioma (PILA) or Dabska tumor (DT) is a low-grade angiosarcoma. This vascular tumor usually has a higher incidence during childhood and occurs the most in the extremities and trunk. DT is locally aggressive, and no high metastatic potential is reported. We present a case of a 34-year-old female patient, treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for a misdiagnosis of left patellar tendinopathy. Due to the persistence and intensification of her symptoms, she is re-evaluated by Orthopedic Specialists. In magnetic resonance imaging studies, a mass was identified in the left external femoral condyle measuring approximately 10 mm with significant diffuse bone edema. Surgical resection was performed, and a PILA was identified by immunohistochemistry. In this case report, the complications of the use of focused ESWT and the histopathological characteristics of DT are discussed.
