Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results after endoscopic repair of partial superficial layer triceps tendon tears.
Methods: Fourteen patients treated surgically between July 2005 and December 2012 were studied prospectively for 12 months. Indication for surgery was a partial detachment of the triceps tendon from the olecranon that was proved by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in all cases.
Background: Conservative treatment of posttraumatic antero-inferior shoulder instability leads to a high failure rate in a young and active population. However, treatment in an adolescent age group is not well documented.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study with adolescent patients (age 15 to 18 y) who suffered a first traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder.
Background: Appropriate gait function is an important determinant of the outcome of total hip arthroplasty and relies on appropriate joint motion and muscle activity. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that 6-month postoperative dynamic joint range of motion, time-distance measures and muscle activity in the operated limb in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty differ from preoperative levels and are more similar to those observed postoperatively in the contralateral limb and in healthy subjects.
Methods: Basic time-distance gait measurements, knee and hip kinematics and electromyographic activity from eight hip muscles were obtained preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively in 52 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty and in 24 age-matched healthy subjects during treadmill walking.
Objective: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that hip muscle function (strength and endurance) improves after total hip arthroplasty and is important for minimizing limping gait.
Design: Fifty-two patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty were assessed before and 6 mos after receiving a unilateral total hip endoprosthesis (Adaptiva stem with a Harris-Galante acetabular component). Severity of limping was assessed using a 4-point ordinal scale.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical results of arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tears at 24 months' follow-up.
Methods: We prospectively followed up 20 patients with isolated subscapularis tears treated with arthroscopic repair with suture anchors in a 3-year period (January 2006 to December 2008) at our institution. Clinical examination of the patients and functional scores (Constant and University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA] scores) were obtained preoperatively and at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperatively.
