Review compares analgesic interventions after shoulder surgery
The average pain trajectories after shoulder surgery vary with different analgesic interventions, according to research presented at the 49th Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting, held from March 21 to 23 in San Diego.
Deep learning enables faster, more accurate decisions for treatment of shoulder abnormalities
QUT scientists have developed a deep learning framework to detect shoulder abnormalities such as fractures in X-ray images with 99% accuracy to enable clinicians to make correct and speedy decisions in emergency situations.
Outcomes of total elbow arthroplasty in the treatment of distal humeral fractures in the elderly: A retrospective cohort comparison between primary arthroplasty and arthroplasty secondary to failed internal fixation.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of total elbow arthroplasty as the index procedure in the treatment of traumatic distal humerus fractures, with secondary total elbow arthroplasty following failed internal fixation.
Arthroscopic Subscapular Sling Procedure for Anterior Glenohumeral Instability Has Limitations: Dynamic Anterior Stabilization Using Long Head of Biceps Tendon May Represent a More Favorable Alternative
Recently, for cases that fall between the need of arthroscopic repair and open procedures, surgeons have developed methods for using soft tissue grafts in order to create a “sling” effect and augment glenoid labral repair.
Obesity associated with increased complications after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Despite similar pain and function scores, patients who were obese and underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair had increased rates of complications, readmissions and reoperations vs. non-obese patients, published results showed.
Persistent shoulder pain: Are exercises always necessary to relieve symptoms?
It is estimated that close to 70 percent of the population will experience shoulder pain at some point in their lives. In itself, this pain would not pose a problem if it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Unfortunately, it tends to persist over time. In half of patients, the pain persists or reoccurs one year after its initial appearance. It can even persist for several years in some cases.
How to sleep with calcific tendonitis?
Calcific tendonitis occurs when calcium deposits accumulate in the tendons or muscles. Symptoms include inflammation and pain. As a result, a person may find it difficult to sleep, especially when these deposits are in the shoulder joint
Bankart repair with remplissage may reduce recurrent instability in on-track lesion cases
Bankart repair with remplissage reduces recurrent instability risk in patients with on-track Hill-Sachs shoulder lesions, according to results presented here.
What to know about rhomboid muscle pain
Rhomboid muscle pain occurs between the shoulder blades and spine. It may feel like tenderness around the shoulder blade. Risk factors for rhomboid muscle pain include injury and general overuse.
