An anatomic, computed tomographic assessment of the coracoid process with special reference to the congruent-arc latarjet procedure.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the dimensions of the coracoid and to compare the radius of curvature (ROC) of the intact glenoid to the ROC of the coracoid undersurface, as oriented in the congruent-arc Latarjet procedure. The ROC of the coracoid undersurface was also compared with various glenoid bone loss scenarios.

Methods: Thirty-four computed tomography-based 3-dimensional models of the shoulder were examined by use of commercially available software.

Humeral head bone defects: remplissage, allograft, and arthroplasty.

The Hill-Sachs lesion is a well-known entity that threatens recurrent instability, but the treatment options are multiple and the surgical indications remain undefined. The evidence for each operative technique is limited to retrospective reviews and small case series without controls. The decision of which technique to use resides with the surgeon.

Fatal knee dislocation in a morbidly obese Jehovah's Witness. A case report.

We describe a case of a morbidly obese Jehovah's Witness who sustained a popliteal artery and vein transection after a spontaneous knee dislocation. Following surgical repair, the patient fatally deteriorated, while blood products had to be withheld according to the patient's preoperative request.
