Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to test a new method for stabilizing the acromioclavicular joint using two types of grafts: the pectoralis minor (Pm) and the coracoacromial ligament (CAL).
- Ten shoulder cadaver specimens were dissected to measure the grafts, which were then prepared for use in surgical fixation techniques.
- The results showed that both grafts were successfully prepared and fixed, demonstrating that the proposed technique is feasible for restoring joint stability.
Introduction: The primary objective of this study was to assess the incidence of recurrent glenohumeral instability in patients over 40 years with isolated rotator cuff (RC) repair for traumatic shoulder dislocation. The secondary objectives were to identify risk factors for glenohumeral recurrence after RC repair and to describe the causes and incidences of re-intervention.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data of consecutive patients at a single trauma center between January 2014 and July 2019 were reviewed, and 84 patients with a mean age of 57 (range: 40-75) years and follow-up duration of 3.
Background: Optimal postoperative distalization (DSA) and lateralization (LSA) shoulder angles have been described as radiological measurements correlated with function after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The proposed optimal values are DSA between 40° and 65° and LSA between 75° and 95°; however, whether these values can be reached with different implant designs is unclear.
Aim: To determine which RSA implant could achieve higher rates of optimal DSA and LSA, to determine any association between each implant and optimal DSA and LSA, and to assess the correlation of the preoperative critical shoulder angle (CSA) and acromial index (AI) with the DSA and LSA.
