Reverse total shoulder replacement for patients with "weight-bearing" shoulders.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has gained popularity in recent years and is indicated for a wide variety of shoulder pathologies. However, use of rTSA in patients with "weight-bearing" shoulders that support wheelchair use or crutches has higher risk. The aim of this study was to assess the results of rTSA in such patients.

An algorithmic approach to shoulder pathology.

Introduction: Shoulder pain is a common presentation in both hospitals and the community. Shoulder pain can result from a number of different pathologies and to manage the shoulder pain, an accurate diagnosis is needed.

Method: An accurate diagnosis can often be made following a detailed history and examination.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of skin preparation methods for the reduction of (formerly ) in shoulder surgery: a systematic review.

Background: () is the most common pathogen responsible for post-operative shoulder infections. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of skin preparation methods against in shoulder surgery.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted evaluating the effectiveness of skin preparation methods in the reduction of in patients undergoing shoulder surgery.

Thirty-day mortality and reliability of Nottingham Hip Fracture Score in patients with COVID19 infection.

Unlabelled: In March 2020 Coronavisus-19 pandemic led to significant changes in operations in healthcare in the United Kingdom with national lockdown measures imposed to help protect the vulnerable and prevent transmission. Those deemed vulnerable fall into the cohort of patients at risk of fragility fractures such as fracture neck of femur (NOF). British Orthopaedic Association released guidelines advising that NOF fractures should continue to be treated urgently.

Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour of the Forearm Presenting as Foreign Body.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) is a rare form of soft tissue sarcoma that arises from peripheral nerves, accounting for less than 5% of cases. MPNST most commonly affects trunk and extremities, and It is commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) (40%-50%). We present a case of MPNST in a 52-year-old man with history of well-controlled epilepsy.

Treatment of Midshaft Humerus Fractures Using Early Functional Bracing: Results and Prognostic Factors.

Purpose Our study tests the hypothesis that a new radiographic measurement, the fracture displacement index (FDI), is associated with the prediction of successful conservative treatment, and investigates factors, that contribute to failure treatment. Methods This was a retrospective case series reporting the results of pragmatic treatment of midshaft humerus fractures using a humeral brace. Details regarding the patient demographics and fracture pattern were recorded.

COVID-19 - Changes in the presentation and management of shoulder and elbow trauma in a UK district general hospital orthopaedic department.

Introduction: COVID-19 has had a significant impact on healthcare systems. We aim to quantify the impact of this outbreak on shoulder and elbow trauma in our institution.

Methods: We prospectively collected data on patients presenting to our hospital with shoulder and elbow injuries during COVID-19.

Acromioclavicular joint disruptions: A comparison of two surgical approaches 'hook' and 'rope'.

Introduction: Acromioclavicular joint injuries are common shoulder girdle injuries most commonly resulting from a direct blow to the acromion with the arm adducted. Type-I or type-II acromioclavicular joint injuries can be managed with sling immobilization, early shoulder motion, and physiotherapy. The management of type-III injuries remains controversial and is individualized.

The "Purse-string" Technique for Shoulder Stabilization, Description of the Technique, Long term Results and Literature Review.

Background: Over the last 2 decades arthroscopic stabilization and Bankart repair has gained popularity due to the advances in materials and surgical techniques. Results of arthroscopic stabilization have been similar to open without the risks of it. The number of anchors used has been suggested to be very important in "spot-weld" arthroscopic stabilization however the "purse-string" technique (PST) can achieve similar results using only one anchor.

How to Build Your Simple and Cost-effective Arthroscopic Skills Simulator.

Acquisition of arthroscopic skills is not always easy and can be time-consuming. Simulation in arthroscopy improves surgical skills and can bridge the gap between reduced surgical exposure and training time and the need to reach a required level of competency. We propose a method to create a simple and cost-effective arthroscopic skills simulator using readily available materials and a low-cost Web camera available from online shops.

Bone printing: new frontiers in the treatment of bone defects.

Bone defects can be congenital or acquired resulting from trauma, infection, neoplasm and failed arthroplasty. The osseous reconstruction of these defects is challenging. Unfortunately, none of the current techniques for the repair of bone defects has proven to be fully satisfactory.

Delayed recognition of pediatric calcaneal osteomyelitis: a case report.

Introduction: The diagnosis of calcaneal osteomyelitis is a challenge, and diagnostic delays have been reported in the literature. The progression is often indolent, laboratory results commonly fail to reveal an underlying infectious process and radiographs changes are seen after 7 days. We discuss the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of calcaneal osteomyelitis which can result in long-term sequelae in the pediatric patient.

Trevor's Disease: A Literature Review regarding Classification, Treatment, and Prognosis apropos of a Case.

Background. Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH) is rare and its main characteristic is osteochondromas of the epiphysis of long bones. Methods.

Does the CT improve inter- and intra-observer agreement for the AO, Fernandez and Universal classification systems for distal radius fractures?

Introduction: Distal radius fractures are very common upper limb injuries irrespective of the patient's age. The aim of our study is to evaluate the reliability of the three systems that are often used for their classification (AO - Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation, Fernandez and Universal) and to assess the need for computed tomography (CT) scan to improve inter- and intra-observer agreement.

Materials And Methods: Five orthopaedic surgeons and two hand surgeons classified radiographs and CT scans of 26 patients using the Fernandez, AO and Universal systems.

Plate on plate osteosynthesis for the treatment of nonhealed periplate fractures.

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to present our technique for the treatment of periplate fractures. Methods.
