How does scapula motion change after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty? A preliminary report.

Background: Arm elevation is composed of glenohumeral and scapulothoracic motion. Many reports have addressed changes of scapular position across a spectrum of shoulder disease. However, no study has examined changes in scapular position after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA).

Comparison of observer performance on soft-copy reading of digital chest radiographs: high resolution liquid-crystal display monitors versus cathode-ray tube monitors.

The purpose of this study is to compare observer performance for detection of abnormalities on chest radiographs with 5-megapixel resolution liquid-crystal displays (LCD) and 5-megapixel resolution cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors under bright and subdued ambient light conditions. Six radiologists reviewed a total of 254 digital chest radiographs under four different conditions with a combination of two types of monitors (a 5-megapixel resolution LCD and a 5-megapixel resolution CRT monitor) and with two types of ambient light (460 and 50 lux). The abnormalities analyzed were nodules, pneumothorax and interstitial lung disease.

Multiple osteotomies and intramedullary nailing with neck cross-pinning for shepherd's crook deformity in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia: 7 femurs with a minimum of 2 years follow-up.

Background: In polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, particularly in lesions of the proximal femur, pathological fracture and coxa vara deformity (including shepherd's crook deformity) are likely to develop and progress.

Patients And Methods: In 7 femurs with shepherd's crook deformity (5 patients), we performed intramedullary nailing by using multiple osteotomies and two screws crossing the femoral neck.

Results: Restoration of the neck shaft angle of the femur was obtained from an average of 92 degrees prior to surgery to 129 degrees after surgery.
