Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure With 2-Screw Stabilization: Results of Treatment of 156 Cases with a Minimum of 2-Year Follow-Up. Multicenter Study.

Background: Various arthroscopic stabilization procedures are associated with recurrence rates ranging from 10.8% to 21.1%.

Non-weightbearing compared with weightbearing x-rays in hallux valgus decision-making.

Objective: To report the effect of weightbearing x-ray imaging on clinical decisions in hallux valgus. Weightbearing (WB) x-ray is standard imaging for symptomatic hallux valgus (HV). In our clinical practice, often patients are presenting with non-weightbearing (NWB) x-rays.

Arthroscopic Latarjet Stabilization: Analysis of the Learning Curve in the First 90 Primary Cases: Early Clinical Results and Computed Tomography Evaluation.

Purpose: To assess the learning curve of arthroscopic Latarjet, evaluating time of surgery, clinical outcomes, complications, revisions, and recurrence.

Methods: Arthroscopic Latarjet procedures performed from 2011 to 2016 were reviewed. Satisfaction rate, subjective shoulder value, Walch-Duplay, Rowe scores, range of motion, and stability were evaluated on clinical examination.

Macroscopic and ultrasonographic anatomy of the rotator cuff layers.

The aim of the study was to determine the thickness of the tendinous and capsuloligamentous layers in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus zones of the shoulder. Anatomical and ultrasonographic assessment of three fresh anatomical specimens consisting of the humeral head together with the capsuloligamentous layer called the superior complex and the supraspinatus and infraspinatus myotendinous units cut off at the level of the scapular glenoid rim. The first specimen was dissected on the length of approx.

Intraoperative graft-related complications are a risk factor for recurrence in arthroscopic Latarjet stabilisation.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes after arthroscopic Latarjet stabilisation in anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: Ninety-three patients after primary arthroscopic Latarjet stabilisation were reviewed. Satisfaction, subjective shoulder value (SSV), Walch-Duplay and Rowe scores, and range of motion and stability were evaluated on clinical examination.

X-ray features to predict ankle fracture mechanism.

Introduction: The genetic Lauge-Hansen classification has been traditionally used for reconstruction of the mechanism of ankle injury. The ability of the Lauge-Hansen classification to predict actual mechanism of the injury has been questioned in recent studies, leaving a void in medicolegal reasoning. The aim of this study is to identify morphologic features of malleolar fractures on plain X-rays that may be used to reveal the fracture mechanism.

Operative Setup to Improve Sagittal Syndesmotic Reduction: Technical Tip.

We analyzed the operative measures that may be used to reduce the likelihood of sagittal syndesmotic malreduction. Hence, we propose a simple technical tip to avoid sagittal plane malreduction of the fibula within the syndesmosis in ankle fractures. Supporting the leg under the heel should be avoided when performing syndesmotic reduction for unstable malleolar fractures, and support under the calf should be used instead.

Osteosynthesis of type III acromial fractures with locking compression plate, lateral clavicular plate, and reconstruction plate: a biomechanical analysis of load to failure and strain distribution.

Background: Acromial stress fractures following reverse shoulder arthroplasty have been increasingly studied because of potential functional impairment caused by this complication. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare different plating techniques for a type III acromial fracture (also referred to as "scapular spine fracture") in a biomechanical setting with special regard to primary stability and modes of failure.

Methods: Type III acromial fractures were simulated on 19 Sawbones scapulae and plated with either a lateral clavicular plate (LatCP), a locking compression plate (LCP), or a reconstruction plate (RecoP).

Comparative study of open and arthroscopic coracoid transfer for shoulder anterior instability (Latarjet)-computed tomography evaluation at a short term follow-up. Part II.

Purpose And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate and to compare the radiological parameters after arthroscopic and open Latarjet technique via evaluation of computed tomography (CT) scans. Our hypothesis was that the radiological results after arthroscopic stabilisation remained in the proximity of those results achieved after open stabilisation.

Material And Methods: CT scan evaluation results of patients after primary Latarjet procedure were analysed.

Comparative study of open and arthroscopic coracoid transfer for shoulder anterior instability (Latarjet)-clinical results at short term follow-up.

Purpose And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to compare early clinical results after open and arthroscopic Latarjet stabilisation in anterior shoulder instability. Our hypothesis was the results of arthroscopic stabilisation were comparable with the results of open procedure.

Material And Methods: The clinical results of the patients after primary Latarjet procedure were analysed.

An analysis of complex, life-threatening infectious complications of hip and knee joint arthroplasty based on departmental data.

Background: The growing popularity of arthroplasty results in an increase in the number of infectious complications. The clinical course of inflammation, silent initial symptoms of the disease and non-medical factors, such as poor public awareness and difficulty in finding specialist care, lead patients to postpone the decision about surgical intervention. This results in a state of imminent threat to health or life by endangering other organs of the body.
