Subscapularis Management in Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty A Review.

Surgical management of the subscapularis tendon is critical to a successful outcome following anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. However, the optimal surgical technique for adequate exposure of the glenohumeral joint while mini-mizing complications resulting from subscapularis tendon dysfunction continues to be controversial. Common surgical techniques for the management of the subscapularis tendon include tenotomy, peeling, sparing, and lesser tuberosity oste-otomy.

Operative management of gouty tophi in the region of the olecranon: a case series.

Background: Tophaceous gout affecting the olecranon region can result in local discomfort, skin ulceration, secondary infection, and considerable disability if left untreated. However, there are limited reports of outcomes, including postoperative complications and recurrence after surgical excision of tophaceous gout deposits at the elbow. The aim of this study is to present our surgical technique and minimum one-year outcomes after surgical excision of tophaceous gout involving the elbow.

Localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis Originating from the Lateral Meniscus in a 17-year-old: Case Report and Literature Review of Meniscal-Associated Localized PVNS.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TSGCT) are benign tumors originating from the synovial joint, bursa, or tendon sheath. Localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), a subtype of TSGCT, commonly affects the hands and feet and has also been reported in the literature in the knee joint. There is sparse literature on localized PVNS arising specifically from meniscal tissue.

The future of health care service in orthopedic practice: telemedicine or in-person visits?

Background: The objective of this study was to assess patient satisfaction and preference for telemedicine vs. in-person visits for outpatient shoulder and elbow musculoskeletal consultation during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and in the future.

Methods: Patients who had telemedicine visits for shoulder and elbow musculoskeletal complaints at a single institution from March through June 2020 were invited to respond to a post-visit survey.
