Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: An Unusual Cause of Shoulder Pain.

Shoulder pain is a common complaint seen in the orthopedic clinic. Here, we report a rare case of primary extranodal ileocecal with exceedingly rare right shoulder deltoid non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). A 67-year-old female presented with abdominal swelling for four months associated with loss of appetite, loss of weight, and night sweats.

High Sural Nerve Trifurcation: A Rare Anatomical Variation.

The sural nerve is a commonly encountered anatomical structure in foot and ankle surgeries. Knowledge of its location and course is imperative in performing surgeries within its vicinity to avoid neurological deficits. We herein report a rare anatomical variation of the sural nerve where it trifurcates above the level of the lateral malleolus that was discovered in a patient who underwent internal fixation for a trimalleolar ankle fracture with ipsilateral navicular fracture.

Osteomyelitis post acromioclavicular joint reconstruction.

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) injury is a common shoulder injury. There are various techniques of ACJ reconstruction. Superficial infection after ACJ reconstruction is not an uncommon complication.

Anatomic Variation in Morphometry of Human Coracoid Process among Asian Population.

Ethnic origin plays an important role in bone morphometry. Studies examining the influence of coracoid process have focused primarily on adults and have not included people from diverse Asian ethnic backgrounds. Our goal was to explore ethnic differences in morphometry of coracoid among Asian population.

Arthroscopic excision of os acromiale: effects on deltoid function and strength.

Arthroscopic excision of os acromiale is a feasible alternative to open excision or fusion. This article describes the authors' experience with 28 patients (31 shoulders) who underwent arthroscopic excision of os acromiale and its effect on shoulder pain and function, with specific emphasis on deltoid strength measurement. Thirty-one os acromiale (all persistent unfused pre- and meso-acromions) in 28 patients were excised arthroscopically.

Arthroscopic suprascapular neurectomy for the management of severe shoulder pain.

Hypothesis: Arthroscopic suprascapular neurectomy is an effective option in the management of patients with severe shoulder pain

Materials And Methods: We describe and evaluate a technique of suprascapular neurectomy, performed arthroscopically for the treatment of severe shoulder pain in 20 patients (17 with a rotator cuff arthropathy, two with glenohumeral arthritis and one with a rotator cuff deficient shoulder following an unsuccessful arthrodesis). Post-operative pain relief was measured using a new pain scoring system, which combined an assessment of the frequency and severity of pain experienced at night, at rest, with activities and any change in analgesic consumption.

Results: At an average follow-up of 29 months, 75% of our patients reported good to excellent pain relief scores, 85% reported less night pain, 90% had less rest pain, 70% reported less pain on movement, whilst 75% reported less consumption of pain medication.
