Transient Exertional Compressive Radial Neuropathy in a Collegiate Baseball Pitcher: A Case Report.

Case: A 21-year-old collegiate baseball pitcher presented with transient lateral arm pain and wrist extension weakness after pitching more than 1 inning. Physical examination was unremarkable at rest. Ultrasound-guided injection of the radial nerve at the level of the lateral intramuscular septum improved his symptoms.

Glenohumeral Arthrodesis for Treatment of Unique Instability with Axillary Nerve Injury: A Case Report.

Introduction: Traumatic shoulder dislocations in elderly patients can result in significant shoulder pathology. Rotator cuff tears and recurrent instability are common complications follow a dislocation event, while axillary nerve injury is less common. While there have been rare cases of recurrent shoulder instability with concomitant axillary nerve injury, there have been no prior cases, in which concurrent fracture fragmentation resulted in the initial gross instability.

The Role of the Innate Immune System in Wear Debris-Induced Inflammatory Peri-Implant Osteolysis in Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Periprosthetic osteolysis remains a leading complication of total hip and knee arthroplasty, often resulting in aseptic loosening of the implant and necessitating revision surgery. Wear-induced particulate debris is the main cause initiating this destructive process. The purpose of this article is to review recent advances in understanding of how wear debris causes osteolysis, and emergent strategies for the avoidance and treatment of this disease.

Bicortical suspensory button fixation yields greater ultimate load to failure over unicortical all-suture anchor fixation in distal biceps brachii tendon repair.

Background: Various distal biceps tendon repair techniques exist, each with their own biomechanical profile. Recently, all-suture anchor fixation has recently become an intriguing option for distal biceps fixation, compared with the proven track record of the suspensory cortical button. In addition, intramedullary techniques have been utilized as a means to avoid complications such as nerve damage seen with extramedullary fixation.
