Clinically relevant results of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for patients younger than 65 years compared to the older patients.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was originally designed for older patients with rotator cuff arthropathy and produces good results. The main objective of this retrospective study was to compare the patients younger than 65 years vs. the older patients in terms of the complications of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and the functional recovery.

Neuromuscular Exercises Improve Shoulder Function More Than Standard Care Exercises in Patients With a Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: There is an important gap in knowledge about the effectiveness of nonoperative treatment (exercise) for patients with traumatic primary and recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations (ASDs).

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of physical therapist-supervised, shoulder instability neuromuscular exercise (SINEX) versus self-managed, home-based, standard care shoulder exercise (HOMEX) in patients with traumatic ASDs. The hypothesis was that SINEX would have a larger effect and fewer adverse events compared with HOMEX.

A neuromuscular exercise programme versus standard care for patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (the SINEX study).

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common injury and may have considerable impact on shoulder-related quality of life (QoL). If not warranted for initial stabilising surgery, patients are mostly left with little to no post-traumatic rehabilitation. This may be due to lack of evidence-based exercise programmes.

[Hurricane-related orthopedic surgical admissions to an emergency department in December 1999].

Introduction: On 3 December, 1999, at 15.00 pm, hurricane Adam struck Esbjerg (Denmark). Wind velocity exceeded 33 m/s, the strongest hurricane ever recorded in Denmark during the last century.

[Baker's cysts in children. A retrospective study at the hospitals in the county of Rebe from 1992 to 1998].

Popliteal cysts or Baker's cysts in childhood is a rare disease usually found by the parents. The purpose of this study is to study the recurrence rate after primary surgical resection and conservative treatment of the cysts. We retrospectively found 20 children with Baker's cysts treated at Ribe Amts Hospitals during the period 1992-1998.
