Fatty degeneration is an important clinical factor in patients with rotator cuff tears. Goutallier grade, occupation ratio, and tangent sign help identify fatty degeneration; however, little known about how closely these measurement techniques correlate actual muscle strength deficits. The authors evaluated each method's ability to determine the correlation between included 203 who underwent full-thickness repair (mean age, 61.29±7.92 years). All were preoperative magnetic resonance imaging...
Does proximal femoral nail antirotation achieve better outcome than previous-generation nail?
Background Reconstruction intramedullary nail spanning the whole length of femur has been gold standard treatment for complete atypical diaphyseal fractures (ADF). However, in cases incomplete ADF combined with severe bowing, this approach might have complications and lead to iatrogenic fracture. We report two bowing using a precontoured plate (PCP) after rapid prototyping (RP) deformed femurs three‐dimensional printing (3DP) technology. Case presentation Two patients presented gradually...
Purpose: This study aims to verify the preoperative factor that can affect footprint coverage during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in full-thickness medium-size tear and change of on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at postoperative 6 months.Methods: A total 30 tears were analyzed.They classified into complete group (CC, n=19) incomplete (IC, n=11) by findings immediate MRI findings.MRI was performed before operation, 1 day after months operation.Preoperative evaluated size...
