Shoulder MRI parameters in anticipating anterior shoulder dislocation: Are they a reliable and reproducible tool in clinical practice?

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD) is a frequently observed musculoskeletal injury that is often encountered in the context of sports activities or as a result of trauma. Several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters have been previously investigated for the purpose of characterizing the anatomical features, which could potentially be responsible for the episodes of instability. These measurements have the potential to identify patients who are susceptible to dislocation.

Optimizing Recovery After Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Release Surgery: The Role of Counseling in Pain Management and Perioperative Functional Enhancement.

Background: Preoperative patient education is pivotal in improving patient outcomes during the perioperative phase, involving a thorough explanation of what patients can expect. This enhances adherence and reduces perioperative anxiety. In orthopedics, carpal tunnel syndrome, a common and painful hand condition, is effectively managed through surgical release under local anesthesia.

Scaphoid nonunion: a novel modification of Matti-Russe technique with enhanced recovery and full clinical and radiographic union.

Background: A scaphoid fracture is a common injury affecting the wrist joint. A fracture of the carpus scaphoid can heal uneventfully or be complicated by non-union. Scaphoid non-union can result in persistent wrist pain, and with functional difficulties affecting all activities of daily living of the patients, this disability is expected to be significant since most of these patients are young active adults.

Combining Stellate ganglion block and intravenous regional anesthesia to treat complex regional pain syndrome: A 19-years' experience in a tertiary center.

Objectives: To study reduction in pain score after treatment with intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) and Stellate ganglion block (SGB) combination on complex regional pain syndrome (CPRS) patients and to quantify patients' satisfaction with treatment and occurrence of complications.

Methods: This is a record-based retrospective review carried out in 2020, targeting patients treated in the University of Jordan Hospital, Amman, Jordan, over the years 2002-2020.

Results: Among 99 patients, a significant drop in pain scores occurred in 88% of the patients' sample.

Percutaneous Curettage and Local Autologous Cancellous Bone Graft: A Simple and Efficient Method of Treatment for Benign Bone Cysts.

Background: Several treatment modalities have been reported to minimize the recurrence after surgical treatment of benign bone cysts. In this study, we evaluated local tumor control, recurrence rate, and bone healing of benign bone cysts after treatment with a simple technique, percutaneous curettage and a local autologous cancellous bone graft.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of the records of 16 patients diagnosed with benign bone cysts between 2003 and 2010.

Association Between Keratoconus and Shoulder Dislocation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction Few studies have highlighted the correlation between shoulder dislocation and keratoconus (KC). This study aimed to examine the association between KC and shoulder dislocation using patients with KC and matched controls. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at Jordan University Hospital.

Talar neck non-union in an athlete successfully treated with a synthetic bone graft: A case report.

Talar neck non-union is a rare complication of talar neck fractures. No guidelines are currently available for the proper management of this complication; thus, it can be hard for orthopaedic surgeons to successfully treat. Here we are reporting a case of talar neck non-union occurring in a 22-year-old male patient after a road traffic accident and presented to our institution 10 months after the initial injury.

Long-Term Outcomes of the Knee and Hip Arthroplasties in Patients with Alkaptonuria.

Alkaptonuria is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. It is characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid in the body due to a lack of enzymes that degrade it. Over time, it results in joint degeneration and eventually leads to ochronosis.

Use of magnetic resonance imaging to determine laterality of meniscal size in healthy volunteers.

Introduction: The menisci are responsible for several functions. They are shock absorbers during dynamic loading on the knee and provide a broader surface area on which to distribute stress evenly to the tibia and femur. These functions allow for smoother movement and greater stability of the knee joint.

A novel method in assessing lower limb motor function.

Purpose: To propose a novel, accurate, and easy to perform test replacing the manual muscle testing. Our target is to develop a valuable tool for identification of patients with neurological motor impairment precisely, rapidly, and easily.

Methods: We have randomly selected patients presenting to the clinic complaining of back pain with or without lower limb symptoms.

Validation of the Arabic version of the Kujala patellofemoral pain scoring system.

Background: Patellofemoral knee pain is a common cause of anterior knee pain. The Kujala anterior knee pain score is a scoring system for the clinical assessment of disease severity. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to validate an Arabic translation of the original Kujala anterior knee pain score to assess Arabic-speaking patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
