Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is the most common reason for shoulder replacement. Total arthroplasty provides reliable pain relief and restoration of function, with implant survivorship reported at 85% 15 years. Glenoid component wear aseptic loosening are among reasons revision. characteristics have been correlated with, other things, degree anatomic glenoid version correction. Anatomic reconstruction particularly challenging in presence bone deficiency. Walch classified morphology into five...
Performance of digital rectal examination (DRE) on all trauma patients during the secondary survey has been advocated by Advanced Trauma Life Support course. However, there is no clear evidence its efficacy as a diagnostic test for traumatic injury. The purpose this study to analyze value policy mandating DRE part initial evaluation process and discern whether it can routinely be omitted.Prospective treated at Level I center. Clinical indicators other than (OCI) denoting gastrointestinal...
Outcomes following revision surgery for failed rotator cuff repairs are far less predictable than and associated with decreased patient satisfaction compared primary repairs. Extracellular matrix augmentation (ECM) may improve the biologic potential healing during repair. The authors examined clinical outcomes rates based on postoperative imaging of patients who underwent open repair an ECM patch symptomatic recurrent tear. Twenty-four (77%) 31 a mean follow-up 50 months (range, 30-112...
Degenerative joint disease following trauma to the elbow is difficult manage in any patient. However, this condition becomes substantially more challenging young, active population. Increased activity demands and limited functional capacity of total arthroplasty mean that should be regarded as a salvage procedure. The primary goal treatment restore pain-free or minimally painful while preserving future surgical options. This requires accurate assessment patient complaint, it terminal pain...
The ATLS Course advocates that injured patients have a chest x-ray (CXR) to identify potential injuries. purpose of this study was correlate clinical indications and clinician judgment with CXR results ascertain if selective policy would be beneficial.Patients treated at Level I trauma center over 12 months were prospectively evaluated. Before obtaining CXR, signs, symptoms, history suggestive thoracic injury identified. Additionally, surgeon (TS) recorded whether in their clinically...
Patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach chair position may be at increased risk for serious neurocognitive complications as a result of cerebral ischemia.We sought to define (1) incidence; (2) timing; and (3) magnitude intraoperative desaturation events (CDEs) subjects position, well whether (4) length was an independent factor CDEs.Regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) monitored intraoperatively using near-infrared spectroscopy on 51 consecutive patients position....
Lateralization in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) decreases bony impingement and improves rotational range of motion, but has been theorized to increase the risk subacromial notching (SaN). The purpose this study was evaluate presence SaN following RSA its relationship with lateralization a 135° inlay humeral component. secondary assess association functional outcomes.
Alcohol consumption is a known risk factor for traumatic injuries of all types and has been shown to produce detrimental effects on bone metabolism. Although the mechanisms responsible these are not well characterized, oxidative stress from alcohol exposure appears play central role. This study was designed examine effect short-term binge pattern fracture repair an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine, healing after consumption.One hundred forty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent...
In performing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), the role of repairing subscapularis has been debated. Our objective was to determine effect repair following rTSA on postoperative ranges motion and patient reported outcome scores (PROs).A prospective registry reviewed establish a cohort primary patients with 135-degree humeral implant, minimum 2 years follow-up. Variables collected included demographics, information, diagnosis, glenosphere size, glenoid lateralization information....
Summary: This article reports on a technique to treat unstable type II distal clavicle fractures using fracture-specific plates and coracoclavicular augmentation with suture button. Six patients clinically underwent treatment the above technique. All demonstrated radiographic union at 9.6 (8.4–11.6) weeks mean follow-up of 15.6 (12.4–22.3) months. American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons, Penn Score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores were 97.97 (98.33–100), 96.4 (91–99), 95 (90–100),...
Background: Alcohol is a known modulator of the immune system and host-defense response. abuse common in trauma patients, although influence alcohol intoxication on inflammatory response following major orthopaedic injury remains unknown. The aim this investigation was to examine binge exposure biomarkers systemic bilateral traumatic femoral fracture rodent model. Methods: Ninety-two Sprague-Dawley rats were administered intraperitoneal injections either saline solution or for three days....
