Background: We aimed to evaluate the predictive determitants in patients with PHF who were treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) by evaluating the patient characteristics and comorbidities and extensive preoperative laboratory parameters.
Methods: With examining the records of elderly patients (over 65 years old) with PHF, who were admitted to our emergency department between 2009 and 2020. For evaluation of the survival, we performed Kaplan-Meirer statistical anaylses.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare two surgical methods—latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) and open complete repair (OCR)—for treating symptomatic massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT), noting a lack of clear treatment guidelines.
- Both surgical techniques improved functional scores and range of motion in patients, but LDTT showed lower failure rates compared to OCR, particularly in chronic cases lasting over a year.
- The findings suggest that while OCR can be effective for acute MRCT, LDTT may be a better option for chronic cases, particularly those lasting over a year, due to higher rates of re-tear and poorer functional outcomes associated with OCR.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the results of single versus double row (TEO) in massive tears of the posterosuperior rotator cuff in patients older than 70 years old.
Methods: Between October 2019 and July 2022, 46 patients, older than 70 years old, were operated on, in two centers, by one surgeon (FM), in one center, we performed a single-row repair, while in the other a double row, transosseous equivalent. Patients were paired by age and gender.
Article Synopsis
- Rotator cuff tendonitis (RCT) is a widespread shoulder issue that leads to pain and limited movement, with no clear treatment guidelines available.
- A study compared the effects of Kinesio taping (KT) and cold therapy (CT) on pain relief and functionality in individuals with RCT, involving 52 participants randomly assigned to either treatment group.
- Results showed that KT significantly improved pain, range of motion, and grip strength more effectively than CT, suggesting that KT could be a better option when combined with exercise for short-term rehabilitation of RCT.
: Here, we introduce a comprehensive treatment algorithm for posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow, a condition affecting elbow mobility. We outline a diagnostic approach and a novel surgical management plan through the arthroscopic surgeon's point of view. : The central focus of this management approach is the integrity of common extensor origin (CEO).
