Background: For many orthopaedic disorders, symptoms correlate with disease severity. The objective of this study was to determine if pain level is related the severity rotator cuff disorders. Methods: A cohort 393 subjects an atraumatic symptomatic full-thickness rotator-cuff tear treated physical therapy studied. Baseline pretreatment data were used examine relationship between and pain. Disease determined by evaluating size, retraction, superior humeral head migration, muscle atrophy....

Background: A variety of reconstructive methods have been described for the treatment sternoclavicular joint instability, yet none analyzed in laboratory, to our knowledge. The purpose present study was evaluate three different reconstruction techniques with use a cadaveric model: (1) intramedullary ligament reconstruction, (2) subclavius tendon and (3) semitendinosus graft placed figure-of-eight fashion through drill-holes clavicle manubrium. Methods: Thirty-six fresh specimens were mounted...

Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a standard method of assessing the extent and features rotator cuff disease, authors are not aware any studies that have assessed interobserver agreement among orthopaedic surgeons reviewing MRI scans for disease.Fellowship-trained shoulder will good in predicting more salient disease such as tear type (full thickness versus partial thickness), size, number tendons involved but only fair with complex muscle volume, fat content, grade...

Background: Stemmed humeral components have been used since the 1950s; canal-sparing (also known as stemless) became commercially available in Europe 2004. The Simpliciti total shoulder system (Wright Medical, formerly Tornier) is a press-fit, porous-coated, implant that relies on metaphyseal fixation only. This prospective, single-arm, multicenter study was performed to evaluate two-year clinical and radiographic results of prosthesis U.S. Methods: One hundred fifty-seven patients with...

Background: Although the prevalence of full-thickness rotator cuff tears increases with age, many patients are asymptomatic and may not require surgical repair. The factors associated pain loss function in well defined. Purpose: To determine which correlate symptomatic, atraumatic who enrolled a structured physical therapy program. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: A multicenter group prospective, nonrandomized cohort study evaluating effects Time-zero patient...

Background: In treatment of distal third clavicle fractures, the Neer classification system, based on location fracture in relation to coracoclavicular ligaments, has traditionally been used determine pattern stability. Purpose: To intra- and interobserver reliability fractures via standard plain radiographs agreement preferred these fractures. Study Design: Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level evidence, 3. Methods: Thirty were randomly selected from patients treated for between 2006 2011. The...

Background Six classification systems have been proposed for describing rotator cuff tears designed to help understand their natural history and make treatment decisions. Purpose To assess the interobserver variation these identify method with best interob-server agreement. Study Design Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods tear were identified in a literature search. The components included partial-thickness by size, shape, configuration, number tendons involved, extent,...

Treatment of partial-thickness articular surface rotator cuff tears varies from simple débridement with or without an acromioplasty to various repair techniques. These techniques have included in situ transtendinous methods, as well completion the tear and repairing full-thickness defect. The can be associated stiffness completing takes down normal intact tissue. Therefore, a technique was developed that repairs articular-side partial- thickness all-inside approach does not violate bursal...

Patient activity level may be an important prognostic variable relating to outcomes in patients with shoulder disorders. Little is known about the predictors of disorders.Tear size and patient variables would predictive a cohort who have selected initial nonoperative treatment for symptomatic, atraumatic rotator cuff tear on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.Patients MRI were prospectively enrolled Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) study...

With the recent emphasis on performing open reduction and internal fixation midshaft clavicle fractures with complete displacement, comminution, >2 cm of shortening, it is important to determine reliability orthopaedic surgeons assess these variables standard plain radiographs agreement among in choosing treatment.To intra- interobserver classification via treatment fractures.Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 3.Charts patients seen by 2 senior authors from 2006 2011 were reviewed...

Background: Posterior glenoid bone loss is often seen in association with glenohumeral osteoarthritis. This posterior asymmetric wear can lead to retroversion of the component and instability after total shoulder arthroplasty. Options for treatment this include eccentric reaming so-called high side, bone-grafting, and/or anteverting humeral component. Although has been advocated by many, it not substantiated on basis biomechanical data. The purpose present study was determine whether...

A prospective cohort study was conducted to assess the predictors of failure nonoperative treatment, defined as patient undergoing surgery for symptomatic, atraumatic full-thickness rotator cuff tears. We present 10-year follow-up data this population determine if change over time, and secondarily we report outcomes cohort.
