Post-traumatic Coracoclavicular Ligament Ossification: A Case Report and Surgical Technique.

Case: A patient presented with complete coracoclavicular ligament ossification after an unnoticed acromioclavicular joint Rockwood Type IV dislocation. He had full passive range of motion in the glenohumeral joint but was disabled by a loss of both active (80°) and passive (90°) abduction due to insufficient passive scapulo-thoracic motion. He was treated with an arthroscopic osteotomy of the coracoclavicular ligament ossification.

Training in microvascular anastomosis - A randomized comparative study between chicken thigh specimen and live rat.

Training in microsurgical techniques on live rats is the gold standard, but raises ethical issues related to animal welfare and cost. The aim of this study was to compare acquisition of microsurgical techniques with primary training on chicken thigh specimens. Seventy six students were randomly assigned: 23 to exclusive rat training and 53 to primary chicken-leg training.

Dynamic Horizontal Instability of the Acromioclavicular Joint: A Case Report.

Case: A 19-year-old female patient with a history of shoulder trauma 6 years ago presented with dynamic horizontal instability of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ). She was treated with open ACJ reconstruction using gracilis allograft and showed a satisfactory clinical result at 1-year follow-up.

Conclusion: Dynamic pure horizontal instability of the ACJ is a rare entity with only 6 cases reported in the literature.

Long-term results of revision rotator cuff repair for failed cuff repair: a minimum 10-year follow-up study.

Hypothesis: Rotator cuff repair remains associated with high retear rates, which range from 13% to 79%. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and structural results after revision rotator cuff repair at a minimum 10-year follow-up.

Methods: We retrospectively studied the records of all patients who underwent revision rotator cuff repair in 3 different institutions between July 2001 and December 2007 with a minimum 10-year follow-up.

Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis of Intraarticular Calcaneus Fracture Augmented by Femoral Head Allograft: A Retrospective Study.

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study is to report the results of minimally invasive osteosynthesis when used for the treatment of intraarticular calcaneus fracture. This old technique is regaining popularity recently with the multiple advances added by different institutes when it is used in the management of intraarticular calcaneus fracture.

Methods: Twenty-four patients who suffered from intraarticular calcaneus fractures between 2014 and 2019 were included.
