Article Synopsis
- * A case is presented involving a male patient who developed massive acute tibial osteomyelitis three months after receiving an IO catheter for emergency treatment.
- * It's important for emergency personnel and radiologists to be aware of this rare complication to ensure early diagnosis and the start of proper antibiotic treatment.
Background: Massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs) account for 10% to 40% of all RCTs and over 80% of re-tears. The objectives of this prospective study were to assess functional outcomes 6 and 12 months after starting non-operative therapy for an irreparable massive RCT and to identify predictors of good outcomes of non-operative treatment.
Hypothesis: Non-operative treatment deserves to be tried because it can produce improvements in patients with irreparable massive RCTs.
Clinical and anatomic results of rotator cuff repair at 10 years depend on tear type.

Purpose: Although good short-term and mid-term outcomes are reported for rotator cuff repair, few studies have investigated long-term outcome with clinical and MRI evaluation. The hypothesis was that 10 years following repair of rotator cuff tear, the clinical and anatomic results depend on the extension of the tear.
Methods: The records of all 965 patients who underwent repair of rotator cuff tears in 2003 were retrieved.
Background: The arthroscopic Latarjet with double-button fixation is a guided procedure recently proposed to treat anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. The goal of this study was to report intraoperative and early postoperative complications and to analyze the learning curve.
Methods: This was a prospective, nonrandomized study that included 88 patients.
Background: Early repair of isolated supraspinatus tears could prevent further deterioration of the rotator cuff; however, there is no consensus on the management of such tears because of a lack of long-term outcome studies. The purposes of this study were to report the 10-year outcomes of isolated supraspinatus repairs and to investigate the factors that favor healing and recovery.
Methods: We retrieved the records of all 511 patients who, in 2003, underwent repair of full-thickness isolated supraspinatus tears, performed by 15 surgeons at 15 centers.
