Case: A 49-year-old woman with sternoclavicular insufficiency following medial clavicle resection underwent sternoclavicular joint reconstruction using a hamstring allograft and a cadaveric fibular cortical allograft. After 4 months of follow-up, the patient was pain-free, with radiographic evidence of graft incorporation by 8 months.
Conclusion: Medial clavicle resection is a rare procedure with broad indications.

Background: There is conflicting evidence on the impact of mental health on postoperative outcomes following total joint arthroplasty. Specific to shoulder arthroplasty there is a lack of data investigating the correlation between mental health and surgical outcomes. Most studies have focused on patient-reported outcome measures, while few have explored objective clinical outcomes.

We successfully identified the presence of various functional, bioactive, psychotropic, and medicinal substances, shedding light on the diverse components of a liquid concoction used for ritual practices in Ptolemaic Egypt. Using LC-MS/MS with a new methodological approach, we identified key proteins and metabolites, enabling the identification of botanical sources, confirmed by genetic sequences.
