Neurovascular Complications Associated With Clavicle Fractures: A Report of Three Cases and Recommendations.

Neurovascular complications associated with clavicular shaft fractures can manifest at presentation, develop gradually over time, or potentially be iatrogenically induced. Conducting a thorough neurovascular examination and, when warranted, pursuing further investigation through modalities such as CT angiogram, MRI, and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are crucial for early diagnosis and pre-operative planning. This comprehensive approach enhances patient outcomes by facilitating timely intervention and addressing any underlying neurovascular issues associated with the fracture.

Clinical and Functional Results of Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow.

Background Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow arises from damage to the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL). While various methods exist for reconstructing or repairing the LUCL's attachment to the humerus, the most effective approach remains debatable. This study aims to assess the outcomes of directly repairing the LUCL when the injury occurs at the humeral attachment.

Outcomes of distal biceps repair at two-year follow-up.

Purpose: This single-centre study aimed to review the postoperative outcomes of distal biceps avulsion repair using a single incision with the endo-button technique.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed of a single surgeon series of distal biceps repairs performed consecutively from September 2016 to September 2020. At two years, outcome measures included Oxford Elbow Score (OES), range of movement (ROM), complications and ongoing issues.

Subscapularis Lengthening with Synthetic Augmentation for Reversal of Putti-Platt Procedure: A Case Report.

Introduction: The Putti-Platt procedure is a historical technique for anterior shoulder stabilization, largely abandoned because it severely restricts movement, and causes arthritis and chronic pain. Patients continue to present with these sequelae, which can be difficult to manage. Here, we present the first published subscapularis re-lengthening for the reversal of Putti-Platt.

Superior capsule reconstruction, partial cuff repair, graft interposition, arthroscopic debridement or balloon spacers for large and massive irreparable rotator cuff tears: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Multiple non-arthroplasty surgical techniques are described for the management of large and massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. There is currently no consensus on the best management strategy. Our aim was to compare clinical outcomes following arthroscopic debridement, arthroscopic partial cuff repair, superior capsule reconstruction, balloon spacers or graft interposition for the management of large and massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
