Surgical Management of the Horizontal Instability of the Acromioclavicular Joint of a Young Athlete: A Case Report.

The acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) is commonly injured due to a force to the lateral aspect of the shoulder with the arm in adduction resulting in vertical or multidirectional instability. However, in this case report, we present a rare case of an athlete with isolated horizontal ACJ instability, which was treated surgically using a hamstring allograft. We highlight the surgical technique use to stabilize the joint in the horizontal (anterior to posterior) plane.

Management of a Failed Distal Tibial Allograft Procedure for Anterior Shoulder Instability in a Patient With Epilepsy: A Case Report.

Shoulder instability episodes are observed in high-energy injuries, such as seizures. In this case report, we highlight the management of a failed distal tibial allograft procedure for recurrent shoulder instability in a patient with a bony Bankart lesion and epilepsy. The patient was treated with an iliac crest autograft and a proximal humerus osteochondral allograft procedure.

Gender and culture bias in letters of recommendation for computer science and data science masters programs.

Letters of Recommendation (LORs) are widely utilized for admission to both undergraduate and graduate programs, and are becoming even more important with the decreasing role that standardized tests play in the admissions process. However, LORs are highly subjective and thus can inject recommender bias into the process, leading to an inequitable evaluation of the candidates' competitiveness and competence. Our study utilizes natural language processing methods and manually determined ratings to investigate gender and cultural differences and biases in LORs written for STEM Master's program applicants.
