Computer modeling and validation testing for glenoid component rotation and optimal glenoid screw angles for reverse shoulder arthroplasty in an Asian population.

Purpose: Good initial fixation of glenoid component for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) relies on component placement and screw purchase in the scapula bone. This is especially difficult in an Asian population with small glenoid geometry. Optimal glenoid component roll angle and screw angulation to achieve the longest screws for best fixation has not been defined in the current literature.

Functional recovery priorities and community rehabilitation service preferences of spinal cord injury individuals and caregivers of Chinese ethnicity and cultural background.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes significant and permanent disability affecting motor, sensory and autonomic functions. We conducted a survey on the priorities of functional recovery and preferences for community rehabilitation services in a cohort of Chinese individuals with SCI as well as the primary caregivers. The study also investigated their views on advanced technology and research.

Patellar Microfracture: Internal Stabilization House-on-Stilts Technique to Achieve Better Results.

Microfractures are the common first choice for the treatment of osteochondral lesions, because of their high efficacy and low cost and operating time compared with other surgical techniques. Results of microfractures for retropatellar chondral defects are subpar compared with other compartments of the knee, despite the patellofemoral compartment being the second most common compartment for such lesions. One major reason for the inferiority is the mobility of the patella, which is most prominent when the patient's knee is extended, as is the case in this type of surgery.
