Arthroscopic Revision Rotator Cuff Repair: The Role of Previously Neglected Subscapularis Tears.

Background: Concomitant full-thickness tear of the subscapularis tendon is often neglected during primary posterosuperior rotator cuff repair, and its significance has not been investigated by any previous clinical study.

Purpose: To investigate (1) the clinical and radiological outcomes of revision arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and (2) the number of neglected concomitant subscapularis full-thickness tears in the revision of posterosuperior rotator cuff retears and their structural integrity after repair.

Study Design: Case series, Level of evidence, 4.

Infraorbital Foramen Decompression Surgery for the Infraorbital Nerve Hypoesthesia in Patients With Isolated Fracture of Maxillary Sinus Anterior Wall.

Isolated fracture of maxillary sinus anterior wall is relatively uncommon. If the extent of fracture is minimal, only conservative care is amenable, however, there is no agreement on whether infraorbital nerve dysfunction can be used as an indication for surgical intervention. This study was conducted to verify the effect of decompression surgery of infraorbital foramen for recovery of hypoesthesia.

Combination therapy using non-ablative fractional laser and intralesional triamcinolone injection for hypertrophic scars and keloids treatment.

Combinations of various treatment modalities were shown to be more effective than monotherapy when treating hypertrophic scars and keloids. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of combination therapy with non-ablative fractional laser and intralesional steroid injection. From May 2015 to June 2017, a total of 38 patients with hypertrophic scars or keloids were evaluated.

Necrotizing fasciitis of the masticator space with osteomyelitis of the mandible in an edentulous patient.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapidly progressive necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, caused by bacterial infection. Usually presenting in the extremities, trunk, or perineum, it is uncommon in the craniofacial or cervical area. Cervicofacial NF is a potentially fatal infection, which should be managed with early detection and intervention.
