Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if patients who have undergone prior open or arthroscopic shoulder surgery and develop distal mononeuropathy (DMN) achieve the same clinical benefit after nerve release compared with those who did not have a prior shoulder procedure.
Methods: Patients were identified by Current Procedural Terminology code for shoulder arthroplasty, shoulder stabilization, and rotator cuff repair and if they had an ensuing nerve release (cubital or carpal tunnel) within 2 years of shoulder surgery. Another cohort that underwent nerve release surgery for DMN with no prior history of shoulder surgery was identified and subsequently matched to the first cohort by a 3:1 (control:case) ratio.

Article Synopsis
- The prevalence of methamphetamine use among young people in Germany is around 1.9%, leading to a concerning number of newborns exposed to the drug during pregnancy, especially in Saxony.
- A systematic review of studies from 1990 to 2019 included 31 publications and involved 4,446 mother-child pairs affected by prenatal methamphetamine exposure, revealing significant negative effects on birth metrics and long-term developmental issues.
- The findings emphasize the need for early intervention and support for expectant mothers and families impacted by methamphetamine use to mitigate risks to child development.
