Early Bone Ischemia in Pediatric Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis and its Association With Progression to Chronic Osteomyelitis: New Insights From Gadolinium-enhanced Subtraction MRI.

Background: Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO), the most common osteoarticular infection in children, carries a significant risk for chronic complications. Predicting chronic complications early in the course of disease is challenging. The underlying pathogenesis of complications is not fully understood.

Long-term Outcomes After Open Repair of Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament.

Background: There is a lack of data regarding the long-term clinical outcomes of open repair of humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL).

Purpose: To examine the long-term patient outcomes, prevalence of related shoulder lesions, and return to sports in patients who have had open HAGL repair.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Is preoperative elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) a risk factor for postoperative shoulder stiffness after posterior-superior rotator cuff repair?

Background: Postoperative shoulder stiffness (POSS) affects a large number of patients undergoing rotator cuff repair (RCR). Diabetes may increase the risk of POSS. Preoperative glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a convenient measure of glucose control in this group.
