Comparison of Superior Capsular Reconstruction and Partial Infraspinatus Repair: A Matched-Pair Analysis of Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Background: Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) represents a new option for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of SCR and compare them with the outcomes of partial repair (PR) of the infraspinatus tendon. The hypothesis was that there would be no significant differences between the clinical and radiologic outcome parameters of SCR and PR after a minimum follow-up of 2 years.

Repair and augmentation of the lateral collateral ligament complex using internal bracing in dislocations and fracture dislocations of the elbow restores stability and allows early rehabilitation.

Purpose: Most elbow dislocations can be treated conservatively, with surgery indicated in special circumstances. Surgical options, apart from fracture fixation, range from repair or reconstruction of the damaged ligaments to static external fixation, usually entailing either a long period of immobilization followed by carefully monitored initiation of movement or dynamic external fixation. In general, no consensus regarding surgical treatment has been reached.

A Case of Simultaneous Traumatic Dorsal Dislocation of All Five Metatarsophalangeal Joints Treated Successfully With Closed Reduction.

Simultaneous dislocation of multiple metatarsophalangeal joints is a rare injury, because of the impediment presented by the anatomy of the lesser metatarsophalangeal joints. To the best of our knowledge, only 1 case of simultaneous dislocation of all 5 metatarsophalangeal joints has been previously reported in peer-reviewed studies. Owing to the same anatomic structures that obstruct relocation, closed reduction has been known to fail in a large proportion of cases.
