This clinical trial was done to evaluate outcomes of the single and double-incision techniques for acute distal biceps tendon repair. We hypothesized that there would be fewer complications less short-term pain disability in two-incision group, with no measureable differences outcome at a minimum one year postoperatively.Patients an rupture were randomized either single-incision repair use two suture anchors (n = 47) or transosseous drill holes 44). Patients followed three, six, twelve,...
Radial head arthroplasty is commonly used to treat acute unreconstructible radial fractures. The purpose of this study was report on the clinical and radiographic outcomes at a minimum follow-up five years after with modular metallic implant for treatment fractures.The cases fifty-five patients fractures treated acutely smooth-stemmed were retrospectively reviewed. A wide variety injuries, which ranged from isolated so-called terrible triad included. All returned an interview, physical...
Study Design Prospective cohort study with repeated measures. Objective To establish the responsiveness of Simple Shoulder Test (SST) in comparison to other commonly used clinical outcomes patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty. Background Responsiveness statistics are a useful means compare different terms their ability detect change. While SST has been established for rotator cuff repair, it not determined Methods Patients arthroplasty (n = 120) were evaluated prior surgery and 6 months...
Objective: This biomechanical study compares four different techniques of fixation middle third clavicular fractures. Methods: Twenty fresh-frozen clavicles were randomized into groups. Each group used a device (3.5 Synthes reconstruction plate, 3.5 limited contact dynamic compression locking and 4.5 DePuy Rockwood pin). All constructs mechanically tested in bending torque modes both with without simulated inferior cortical defect. Bending load to failure was also conducted. The groups...
Different measurements are used to assess shoulder function, including range of motion, strength, functional performance and self-report function. To understand disablement, it is necessary the relationship between impairments function in persons without problems. This study was conducted enhance existing comparative data subjects upper extremity pathology, relationships (range strength) self-reported or measured function/disability. The impact age, gender dominance determined.Two-hundred...
Background: Patients with complete rotator cuff tears who fail a course of nonoperative therapy can benefit from surgical repair. Purpose: This randomized trial compared mini-open (MO) versus all-arthroscopic (AA) Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level evidence, 1. Methods: were to undergo MO or AA repair at 9 centers by 23 surgeons. The primary outcome (Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index [WORC]) and secondary outcomes (American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons [ASES] score, Pain Disability...
With variations in joint destruction, patient expectations and health status, it can be difficult to interpret outcomes following arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was determine the relationships between different outcome indicators 44 patients followed for two years after a reverse shoulder arthroplasty.Prospectively collected included Constant-Murley score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), range motion (ROM), strength, satisfaction with their care independent clinician case-review global...
Cerebral oximeters have the potential to detect abnormal cerebral blood oxygenation allow for early intervention. However, current commercial systems two major limitations: (1) spatial coverage of only frontal region, assuming that surgery-related hemodynamic effects are global and (2) susceptibility extracerebral signal contamination inherent continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
Peripheral nerve injury is a potentially devastating complication after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) surgery. This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility of using an automated somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) device provide timely alert/intervention minimize intraoperative insults during TSA surgery.A prospective, single-arm, observational was conducted in single university hospital. The attending anesthesiologist monitored participants EPAD SSEP and intervention made if there...
