Effects of glenosphere positioning on impingement-free internal and external rotation after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
Introduction: Patients may experience a loss of internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). We hypothesized that alterations in the glenosphere position will affect the amount of impingement-free IR and ER. Materials and methods: Computed tomography (CT) scans of the...
Surgical Treatment of a Chronically Fixed Lateral Patella Dislocation in an Adolescent Patient
Acute patellar dislocation or subluxation is a common cause for knee injuries in the United States and accounts for 2% to 3% of all injuries. Up to 49% of patients will have recurrent subluxations or dislocations. Importance of both soft tissue (predominantly, the medial patellofemoral ligament, MPFL, which is responsible for 60% of the resistance...
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation after Rotator Cuff Repai: A Review of Current Concepts
Rotator cuff pathology can contribute to shoulder pain, weakness, and limitations to both activities and work. Surgical repair via open or arthroscopic techniques is associated with improved function and patient satisfaction. Success of repair depends on several factors that include patient age, tear size, type of fixation,
Functional Outcome After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in the Obese Patient Population: A Prospective Study with Greater Than 2 Years of Follow-Up
Background: Obesity is increasingly prevalent in the United States. There are several reports of outcomes in obese patients after total knee or hip replacement. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes and complications of obese patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty with those of overweight or normal-weight patients
The epidemiology of single season musculoskeletal injuries in professional baseball
The aim of this descriptive epidemiology study was to evaluate the injury incidence, pattern and type as a function of position in one professional baseball organization for one complete season. The study was carried out in a major academic center. Participants were all major/minor league baseball players playing for one...
Chapter-05 Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
The anterior capsulolabral complex is composed of the labrum, capsule, and the anterior inferior glenohumeral ligament. Function of the complex is to increase the depth of the glenoid cavity to stabilize the glenohumeral joint. Furthermore, this soft tissue complex will resist anterior translation of the humeral head when the shoulder is placed in 90° of abduction.
MRI Study of Associated Shoulder Pathology in Patients With Full-thickness Subscapularis Tendon Tears
Subscapularis tendon tears are a well-established cause of shoulder pain. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the associated shoulder pathology in patients with full-thickness subscapularis tendon tears using magnetic resonance imaging. Forty-seven magnetic resonance imaging studies taken between 2008 and 2009...
A variant of a type V lateral clavicle fracture involving a posteriorly displaced medial segment. A case report
The clavicle connects the shoulder girdle to the axial skeleton, providing support and mobility for optimal upper extremity function. Fractures of the clavicle account for up to 4% of all fractures and comprise up to 44% of all injuries to the shoulder girdle. We present a 63-year-old female patient who suffered what appeared to be a...
