Comparison of WALANT versus locoregional nerve block in staged bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel release.

Background: Carpal tunnel release can be performed as open or endoscopic surgery. In WALANT (wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet) a tourniquet is not used, ensuring less discomfort for the patient. In locoregional distal nerve block, on the other hand, a tourniquet is needed and can be painful.

A novel plating technique for Ideberg type 1 A glenoid fractures: a report of five patients.

Background: Glenoid rim fractures are uncommon and generally associated with high complication rates. The most common treatment techniques include screw or anchor fixation. Here, we introduce a new fixation method to treat Ideberg type 1 A fractures.

Coracoid process transfer for anterior shoulder instability : a pectoralis minor sparing method.

The Latarjet procedure alters scapulothoracic motion by releasing the pectoralis minor insertion to the coracoid process and by changing the vector of the conjoint tendon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of retaining the pectoralis minor insertion and a part of the conjoint tendon on to the remainder of the coracoid, and to evaluate the efficiency of the procedure in avoiding scapular dyskinesis, without concessions to glenohumeral stability. Since June 2017, a modification to the Latarjet procedure has been used in the treatment of posttraumatic anterior shoulder instability.

Prevalence and risk factors of scapular stress fracture after reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a multicentric retrospective study.

Purpose: Scapular stress fracture (sSF) is a difficult complication to treat after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and possible risk factors in a large population.

Methods: A total of 2165 RSAs that were implanted between January 2006 and October 2017 in five hospitals were evaluated.
