Glenohumeral translation in ABER position during muscle activity in patients treated with Latarjet procedure: an in vivo MRI study.

Purpose: The Latarjet procedure is frequently performed when treating traumatic anteroinferior shoulder instability. This procedure is supposed to have a triple effect: osseous, muscular and ligamentous. The main stabilizing mechanism in cadaver studies on fresh-frozen shoulders seems to be the sling effect produced by the subscapularis and the conjoint tendon.

Coracoid graft osteolysis after the Latarjet procedure for anteroinferior shoulder instability: a computed tomography scan study of twenty-six patients.

Background: The Latarjet procedure has been advocated as an option for the treatment of anteroinferior shoulder instability in certain patients. However, progression of the transferred coracoid bone graft to osteolysis has been reported in the literature. We propose that the coracoid bone graft osteolysis could be one of the causes of failure of the Latarjet procedure.

Intracranial dural histiocytosis.

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a common benign lymphomatous disorder that involves the lymph nodes and other solid organs. Neurological involvement is rare, and an isolated intracranial Rosai-Dorfman lesion even rarer. Whether isolated intracranial Rosai-Dorfman lesions should be defined as Rosai-Dorfman disease or intradural histiocytosis remains debatable.

MRI in the acute phase of spinal cord traumatic lesions: Relationship between MRI findings and neurological outcome.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of emergency MRI in the diagnosis of acute spinal injuries, and to correlate the MRI pattern with the neurological outcome.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight patients with MRI-proven spinal cord injury were classified according to the Frankel classification. MRI was always performed within 8 hours from trauma.
