Clinical and functional outcome after different surgical approaches for brachial plexus injuries: Cohort study.

Introduction: Brachial plexus injury (BPI) can result in complete loss of neurological function and reduces the quality of life. Nerve transfer, nerve grafting, external neurolysis, and free functional muscle transfer are several management options that determine the eventual outcomes. Despite various methods of treatment, hardly any literature compares directly the result of these treatment options.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) versus open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for displaced three-part or four-part proximal humeral fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Despite rapid medical technology development, various challenges exist in three- and four-part proximal humeral fracture (PHF) management. This condition has led to a notably increased use of the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA); however, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is still the most widely performed procedure. Thus, these two modalities are crucial and require further discussion.
