Validity and reliability of the Thai functional internal rotation scale for shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: The Functional Internal Rotation Scale is an excellent clinical tool for evaluating patients with shoulder arthroplasty, but it has not been adapted to the Thai version. The objectives of this study were to translate the English version and culturally adapt the Functional Internal Rotation Scale to the Thai version and to examine the psychometric properties of the Thai Functional Internal Rotation Scale among Thai participants having shoulder arthroplasty.

Methods: The Functional Internal Rotation Scale was translated to Thai, including cross-cultural adaptations, following standard guidelines.

The proximal humeral locking plate positioning to the pectoralis major tendon in achieving the proper calcar screw location: a cadaveric study.

Background: Proximal humeral fracture is the third most common of osteoporotic fracture. Most surgical cases were treated by fixation with anatomical locking plate system. The calcar screw plays a role in medial support and improving varus stability.

Assessment of approximate glenoid size in Thai people.

Background: The loosening of the glenoid baseplate component is one of the most common complications after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The mismatch between size of baseplate and glenoid in Thai People may result in improper baseplate screw fixation and lead to early loosening of the glenoid component. Knowing of the glenoid size will guide the surgeon in placing or choosing the proper size glenoid baseplate to improve screw fixation strength.

The study of anterior cruciate ligament footprint in Thai population: a human cadaveric study.

Background: Identification of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) footprint is critical for an anatomical ACL reconstruction. The osseous landmarks of the ACL footprint is one of the methods that can be used to determine the ACL insertion site. The size of ACL footprint on femur and tibia are also important for surgical decision.

Tibial footprint for single anatomical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by the meniscal reference point: the cadaveric study.

Objective: ACL reconstruction is the gold standard for the torn ACL. To perform the anatomic reconstruction, knowledge of the footprint location is important. The femoral footprint was described in many studies, but the tibial footprint has less information.
