External to internal glenohumeral strength ratio in non-traumatic rotator cuff pathologies.

Background And Study Aims: A correct agonist -antagonist strength relationship for shoulder external and internal rotation is necessary for functional stability of the shoulder. This strength relationship is described by the ratio of external to internal strength (ER/IR).The aim of this stydy is to produce comparative data as regards the ER/IR ratio in subjects with different non-traumatic rotator cuff diseases.

The single assessment numeric evaluation correlates with the western ontario rotator cuff score in non-traumatic shoulder disease.

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are essential clinical instruments used for assessing patient function and assisting in clinical decision making. The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) index is the PROM for shoulder pathology with the most psychometric properties but is very time consuming. The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) method is a PROM that takes less time to answer and to analyze.

ULTRASONOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION OF NODULAR CYSTIC FAT NECROSIS AFTER A LOW-VELOCITY TRAUMA: A CASE REPORT.

Objective: Morel-Lavallée lesion is a well-known entity after a high-energy, shearing trauma. Another form of lesion in the subcutaneous tissue is fat necrosis, presenting as a palpable mass. The most common presentation of fat necrosis is oil cysts, which occur mainly in the breast.

Distal biceps tendon ruptures: more efficient diagnostics for a better outcome.

Distal biceps tendon ruptures are a rare pathology, but can have significant functional repercussions. Rapid, accurate diagnosis and treatment are essential for a favorable prognosis. During the diagnostic process of distal biceps tendon ruptures, several problems can emerge.

Neonatal brachial plexus palsy and hand representation in children and young adults.

Aim: To assess the impact of neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) on higher-order hand representation.

Method: Eighty-two left-handed children and adolescents with and without right-sided NBPP were recruited. Thirty-one participants with NBPP (mean age [SD] 11y 4mo [4y 4mo]; age range 6y 2mo-21y 0mo; 15 females; C5-6, n=4, C5-7, n=12, C5-T1, n=11, C5-T1 with Horner sign, n=4) were assessed along with 30 controls (mean age 11y 5mo [4y 4mo]; age range 6y 7mo-21y 7mo; 14 females).
