Analysis of shoulder motion with inertial sensors in Poland syndrome patients.

Purpose: Poland syndrome is a congenital malformation characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of pectoralis muscles. There is a limited literature on how the anatomic anomalies of PS may impact the movement of the shoulder. This study analyzes the effects of absence of the pectoralis muscles on the shoulder kinematic.

AO/OTA B and C articular fractures of the distal humerus: What are the boundaries between Total Elbow Arthroplasty and ORIF?

Background: Nowadays, an increasing number of Total Elbow Arthroplasty (TEA) surgeries have been selected as the primary intervention for distal humerus joint fractures. TEA has demonstrated favorable outcomes in elderly osteoporotic patients and has been associated with fewer complications and reduced stiffness when compared to Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgeries. This retrospective cohort study aimed to analyze differences in terms of functional outcomes, complications, and reoperation rates of distal fractures of the humerus treated with ORIF and TEA.

SID/SIEDP expert consensus on optimizing clinical strategies for early detection and management of wolfram syndrome.

Wolfram Syndrome (WFS) is a rare, multisystemic, degenerative disease leading to premature death. Clinical and genetic heterogeneity makes WFS diagnosis and management challenging. The Italian Society of Diabetes (SID) and the Italian Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (SIEDP) convened an expert panel of professional healthcare practitioners to provide up-to-date knowledge about the pathophysiology, clinical presentation and treatment of WFS, and recommendations for the earlydetection and optimal disease management.
