Article Synopsis
- In severe rotator cuff tears, fatty degeneration of the infraspinatus muscle is sometimes more pronounced than that of the supraspinatus, which raises concerns about suprascapular nerve damage.
- This study evaluates the impact of releasing the transverse scapular ligament on patients with large rotator cuff tears and significant infraspinatus fatty degeneration compared to a group that did not undergo this procedure.
- Results showed that healing failure was significantly higher in the ligament release group (65%) compared to the non-release group (36%), with no improvement in fatty degeneration or muscle atrophy post-surgery for the group that received the ligament release.
We investigated incidence, clinical features and surgical outcomes of trigger finger accompanied by proximal interphalangeal joint pain. One-hundred and seventy-nine consecutive patients with trigger finger who had A1 pulley release were recruited. Forty-two patients (24%) complained of proximal interphalangeal joint pain at the time of surgery.
