Management of acute grade IV and greater acromioclavicular dislocations: Open acromioclavicular brace versus arthroscopic double DogBone® endobutton.

Introduction: Several surgical techniques exist to manage grade IV acute acromioclavicular dislocation (ACD). However, the conventional acromioclavicular brace technique (ACB) has never been compared to the arthroscopic DogBone® (DB) double endobutton technique. The aim of this work was to compare the functional and radiological results of DB stabilization with those of ACB.

Early rehabilitation after reverse total shoulder prosthesis on fracture of proximal humerus in elderly patients provides better functional outcome.

Purpose: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has revolutionized the management of proximal humerus fractures (PHF) in the elderly patients. There is few or no consensus regarding to management of postoperative rehabilitation in elderly patients. An early rehabilitation from D1 allowed better functional results compared to rehabilitation started to D30 independently from tuberosities consolidation.

Aseptic osteonecrosis of the shoulder: Etiologies, diagnosis and medical management.

Aseptic osteonecrosis of the humeral head is a multifactorial entity in which the final common pathway results in disrupted blood supply, increased intraosseous pressure, and bone death. It follows a pathologic and radiographic pattern of progression similar to that seen at the hip. Much of the information regarding the disease has been extrapolated from findings in the femoral head.

Comparison of double screw fixation versus tension-band fixation after olecranon osteotomy for complex distal humerus fractures.

Introduction: Supra- and intercondylar elbow fractures are surgically challenging given the intra-articular comminution. Various surgical approaches have been described. Among these-olecranon osteotomy-provides optimal joint exposure but is associated with several complications.

Arthroscopic anatomy of the middle glenohumeral ligament. A series of 300 cases.

Purpose: The anatomy of the middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) is seldomly described during arthroscopy. The aim of this study was to determine the arthroscopic variants concerning the anatomy of the MGHL.

Methods: A prospective, observational, single-center study was conducted between June 2016 and June 2017.
