Background: A painful and swollen shoulder has an extensive differential diagnosis, with Milwaukee shoulder syndrome (MSS) being diagnosed infrequently. Analysis of crystals in the synovial fluid is an important diagnostic step in patients with a swollen shoulder.
Case Description: A 69-year-old female presented at the orthopaedic outpatient clinic with pain, limited mobility and swelling of the left shoulder.
Background: There is controversy in literature whether the direct anterior approach (DAA) results in less muscle damage compared with the posterolateral approach (PLA) for total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess muscle damage between these two approaches.
Methods: Forty-six patients were included.
Leukocyte populations quickly respond to tissue damage, but most leukocyte kinetic studies are not based on multiparameter flow cytometry. We systematically investigated several blood leukocyte populations after controlled tissue damage. 48 patients were assigned to either an anterior or posterolateral total hip arthroplasty.

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to measure the differences in serum markers and functional outcomes between the DAA and PLA for total hip arthroplasty.
Methods: Forty-six patients were prospectively included and randomized for either the DAA (n = 23) or PLA (n = 23).
