The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) questionnaire was developed to provide a standardized method for evaluating shoulder function. Previous studies have determined the clinical responsiveness of this outcome measure heterogenous populations or patients with nonoperatively treated rotator cuff disease. Currently, our knowledge, no exist that establish clinically relevant change in ASES score after arthroplasty.We asked: (1) What are minimal important difference (MCID) substantial...
A replacement arthroplasty was performed in 236 shoulders at The Hospital for Special Surgery from 1984 through 1989. Ten patients (eight women and two men) that group were identified as having instability of the shoulder time follow-up, results these reviewed retrospectively. ages ranged fifty-six to seventy-nine years. anterior seven posterior three. caused by a rupture repaired subscapularis tendon. operative treatment consisted mobilization repair tendon, but three continued have...
Coracoid impingement results from encroachment on the coracohumeral space, presenting as anterior shoulder pain and clicking, particularly in forward flexion, medial rotation, adduction. In eight shoulders seven patients, decompression by excision of lateral 1.5 cm coracoid with re-attachment conjoined tendon gave relief all, complete six. This procedure is described recommended.
Retrospective evaluations of roentgenograms 83 patients with unilateral shoulder instability were surveyed to evaluate the usefulness various radiographic projections and correlate information osseous pathology associated prior glenohumeral dislocation. The Hill-Sachs Bankart defects considered pathognomonic signs joint instability. Based on history, physical examination, examination under general anesthesia, divided into three categories--(1) dislocation group, (2) subluxation (3)...
Rotator cuff tears are a common source of shoulder pain. High rates (20%-94%) structural failure the repair have been attributed to multiple factors, including poor tissue quality and tendon-to-bone integration. Biologic augmentation using growth factors has potential promote integration, improving function long-term success repair. One such factor is platelet-derived factor-BB (PDGF-BB), which shown improve healing in tendon bone models.Recombinant human PDGF-BB (rhPDGF-BB) combined with...
There have been few studies that evaluated ambulatory total shoulder arthroplasty. The objectives of the present study were to investigate current trends in arthroplasty United States; characterize rate postoperative complications, hospital readmission, and risk factors associated with readmission; conduct a cost analysis comparing matched inpatient arthroplasty.A national insurance database was queried for patients who underwent anatomic between fourth quarter 2010 2014. Patients undergoing...
Acromioclavicular joint injuries are among the most common shoulder girdle in athletes and commonly result from a direct force to acromion with arm an adducted position. often present associated glenohumeral joint, including increased incidence of superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) tears that may warrant further evaluation treatment. Anteroposterior stability acromioclavicular is conferred by capsule ligaments, which ligaments strongest. Superior-inferior maintained coracoclavicular...
Likely due to the high level of strain exerted across elbow during throwing motion, injuries are on rise in baseball. To identify at-risk athletes and guide postinjury return-to-throw programs, a better understanding variables that influence varus torque is desired.To describe within-subject relationship between arm slot rotation professional baseball pitchers.Descriptive laboratory study.A total 81 pitchers performed 82,000 throws while wearing motusBASEBALL sensor sleeve. These represented...
Recent studies have found that depression is associated with increased pain and impairment following lower-extremity arthroplasty; however, this association has not been investigated for total shoulder arthroplasty. The objective of study was to investigate the between patient-reported outcomes arthroplasty.A prospectively collected institutional registry queried consecutive patients who underwent arthroplasty osteoarthritis from 2007 2013 baseline minimum 2-year postoperative American...
Background: The indications for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) continue to expand, which has resulted in younger patients who want remain active after RTSA. Little information is available manage expectations of both physicians and return sporting activities. Purpose: To determine the rate activities assess average time sports Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods: This was a retrospective review consecutive RTSA collected from our institution’s registry. All...
A new biomodular prosthesis was used for the treatment of a displaced fracture proximal part humerus in twenty-two shoulders patients. The fractures were classified according to Neer system; there thirteen four-part, five three-part, and four head-splitting fractures. There fifteen women seven men, mean age seventy years (range, forty-nine eighty-seven years). hemiarthroplasty performed an average eleven days one forty-five days) after injury. deltopectoral interval all patients, implanted...
Out of 78 patients identified who underwent mini-open cuff repair, 64 were interviewed and returned a detailed questionnaire 47 for physical examination. Their average age was years (31 to 85 years); the follow-up 29.2 months (range, 12 65 months). The tear size 8 cm2. Preoperatively, all complained pain weakness. Ninety-six percent displayed positive impingement signs preoperatively compared with 16% postoperatively. Active elevation increased significantly (P < .05) from 129 degrees 166...
Background: The long-held axiom put forth by Hunter in 1743, that cartilage once injured is incapable of healing, has been challenged the technique autologous chondrocyte transplantation. This conceptual change way which orthopaedists are approaching problem repair spawned a myriad new and innovative treatment modalities. review will focus on techniques directions our facility other investigators exploring to restore functional articular cartilage. Methods: To show usefulness effectiveness...
The number of total shoulder arthroplasties has increased exponentially over the last ten years, creating a more prominent role for revision arthroplasty in future. main reasons failure can be classified as soft-tissue deficiencies, osseous component wear, or infection. We hypothesized that, despite appropriate surgical techniques, outcome replacement predicted on basis indication procedure.We conducted retrospective review seventy-eight shoulders that had undergone arthroplasty. were...
