Arthro-distension with early and intensive mobilization for shoulder adhesive capsulitis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: There are several therapeutic options for the management of shoulder adhesive capsulitis (AC). The superiority of arthro-distension over intra-articular steroid injection (ISI) for AC remains controversial.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a single arthro-distension procedure combined with early and intensive mobilization (ADM) and physiotherapy, versus ISI and physiotherapy, in people with AC lasting ≥3 months.

Economic impact of work disability due to chronic low back pain from the patient perspective.

Objectives: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the main expenditure items for health systems. Data on the economic impact of LBP are uncommon from the patient perspective. The aim of this study was to estimate the economic impact of work disability related to chronic LBP from the patient perspective.

Clinical and MRI outcomes of subacromial impingement syndrome with conservative treatment: a 21-month prospective study.

Background: Information is lacking on the natural history of early stages of degenerative rotator cuff disease. Such information can be obtained by using clinical and imaging assessment after conservative treatment in affected patients.

Hypothesis: Subacromial impingement syndrome is a clinical presentation that can be associated with early stages of the disease.

Value of a clinical test of sub-acromial impingement to predict response to physiotherapy with dynamic humeral centering: A preliminary study.

Background: Dynamic humeral centering (DHC) is a physiotherapy modality that aims to prevent sub-acromial impingement of rotator cuff tendons. We recently developed a new clinical manoeuver - the Viggo-Cochin test - to enhance the ability of the Neer test to detect sub-acromial impingement. Here we hypothesised whether the DHC effect may differ between individuals with positive and negative Viggo-Cochin test results.

Costs of patient management over 18 months following a hip, clinical vertebral, distal forearm, or proximal humerus fragility fracture in France-results from the ICUROS study.

Unlabelled: This observational study prospectively assessed direct and indirect costs related to patient management over 18 months following hip, clinical vertebral, humeral, or distal forearm fracture events in France. It appears that their levels were much higher than the previous estimates, raising the burden of osteoporosis-related fractures on public health expenditures.

Introduction: This prospective observational study assessed the costs related to patient management over the 18-month period following the event of a hip, clinical vertebral, humeral, or distal forearm fracture in France.

More severe phenotype of early-onset osteoporosis associated with recessive form of LRP5 and combination with DKK1 or WNT3A.

Background: Early-onset osteoporosis (EOOP) is defined by low bone mineral density (BMD), which increases the risk of fracture. Although the prevalence of osteoporosis at a young age is unknown, low BMD is highly linked to genetic background. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) are associated with EOOP.

Lumbar spinal stenosis and disc alterations affect the upper lumbar spine in adults with achondroplasia.

In achondroplasia, lumbar spinal stenosis arises from congenital dysplasia and acquired degenerative changes. We here aimed to describe the changes of the lumbar spinal canal and intervertebral disc in adults. We included 18 adults (age ≥ 18 years) with achondroplasia and lumbar spinal stenosis.

Shoulder adhesive capsulitis: diagnostic value of active and passive range of motion with volume of gleno-humeral capsule as a reference.

Background: The diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis is currently based on restricted range of motion (ROM) but its diagnostic value has only been rarely investigated.

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of active global and passive gleno-humeral ROM to diagnose shoulder adhesive capsulitis.

Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study.

Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation Techniques in Osteoporotic and Traumatic Fractures.

Percutaneous vertebral augmentation/consolidation techniques are varied. These are vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and several methods with percutaneous introduction of an implant (associated or not with cement injection). They are proposed in painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures and traumatic fractures.

Primary Osteoporosis in Young Adults: Genetic Basis and Identification of Novel Variants in Causal Genes.

Genetic determinants contribute to osteoporosis and enhance the risk of fracture. Genomewide association studies of unselected population-based individuals or families have identified polymorphisms in several genes related to low bone density, but not in osteoporotic patients with -score < -2.0 SD with fragility fracture(s).

Comparative study of psychometric properties of three assessment tools for degenerative rotator cuff disease.

Objective:: To compare psychometric properties of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and Constant-Murley scale, in patients with degenerative rotator cuff disease (DRCD).

Design:: Longitudinal cohort.

Setting:: One French university hospital.

Diagnostic performance and impact on patient management of Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT for detecting osteomalacia-associated tumours.

Purpose: Oncogenic osteomalacia is an endocrine disorder induced by small benign tumours (TIO) producing excessive fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23). The only way of curing oncogenic osteomalacia is surgical resection of the culprit TIO, which is extremely difficult to detect using conventional imaging modalities due to its small size and variable location in the body. Since TIO frequently overexpress somatostatin receptors, a clinical utility of SPECT or PET with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues has been reported.

Reproducibility of sub-acromial impingement tests, including a new clinical manoeuver.

Background: The Neer, Hawkins, and Yocum clinical tests detect sub-acromial impingement as a pathogenic process of degenerative rotator cuff disease. Their reproducibility has been little investigated.

Objectives: We tested the reproducibility of the Neer, Hawkins, and Yocum clinical tests for detecting this sub-acromial impingement and also an original clinical manoeuver, the countertest with elevation with lateral rotation (CELR), which is a test of sub-acromial impingement.

An open-label, prospective, observational study of the efficacy of bisphosphonate therapy for painful osteoid osteoma.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy of bisphosphonate therapy on bone pain in patients with osteoid osteoma (OO) (main objective), and to describe bisphosphonate-induced changes in nidus mineralisation and regional bone-marrow oedema (BMO).

Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted from 2011 to 2014. Patients with risk factors for complications of percutaneous or surgical ablation or recurrence after ablation, were offered once monthly intravenous bisphosphonate treatment until significant pain alleviation was achieved.
