The role of degenerative changes in rotator cuff musculature with respect to the functional outcomes repair have only recently been recognized and are still not well understood. In addition, reversibility these tendons is questionable.Poorer preoperative muscle quality negatively affects outcome, a successful outcome (in terms healed repair) might demonstrate improvements fatty infiltration atrophy.Cohort study; Level evidence, 2.Thirty-eight patients (mean age, 62 years) were prospectively...
Both total shoulder arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty have been used commonly to treat severe osteoarthritis of the shoulder; however, their effect on disease-specific quality-of-life outcome is unknown. The purpose this study was compare following with that in patients shoulder.Forty-two a diagnosis were randomized receive or arthroplasty. One patient died, all others evaluated preoperatively at six weeks three, six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four months postoperatively use standardized...
Rotator cuff tears are a cause of pain and disability in the shoulder. The molecular changes associated with rotator tearing unclear. A subset matrix metalloproteinases tissue inhibitors metalloproteinase, which involved extracellular remodeling degradation, were evaluated.There would be an increase mRNA level specific metalloproteinase decrease tendon obtained from patients tears.Controlled laboratory study.Tissue was 10 undergoing repair for full-thickness tears. Also, cadaveric specimens...
Background: The literature comparing open and arthroscopic repair for glenohumeral instability is conflicting. We performed a prospective, expertise-based, randomized clinical trial to compare shoulder stabilization with by measuring quality-of-life outcomes recurrence rates at two years among patients treated traumatic anterior instability. Methods: Computer-generated, variable-block-size, concealed randomization allocated 196 either the open-repair group (n = 98) or arthroscopic-repair...
Background Although there are many studies describing tests for shoulder instability, few assessing the validity of these in diagnosing anterior instability. Purpose To assess apprehension, relocation, and surprise as predictors Study Design Retrospective review prospectively collected data. Methods Forty-six patients with a clear diagnosis one following disorders were evaluated by four independent, blinded examiners: traumatic instability (18), rotator cuff tendinosis (17), posterior (2),...
