Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of acute clavicle fractures on the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ), revealing unexamined injuries associated with both.
- It analyzed CT scans of 45 patients with clavicle fractures, focusing on SCJ morphology and space measurements.
- Results show significant differences in joint space width and medial clavicle position on the affected side, suggesting potential injuries and increased instability risk in the SCJ following a clavicle fracture.
(1) Many biomechanical studies are performed using fresh frozen cadavers or embalmed specimens, although the biomechanical characteristics do not match the characteristics of in vivo tendons. Therefore, a fresh in vivo-like cadaver model has been introduced recently. As a limitation for studies with fresh cadavers, must be considered.

The goal of this study was to evaluate how well the EVOLVE modular metallic radial head implant prosthetic restores the functional range of motion and stability of the elbow. 30 patients with comminuted radial head fractures received an arthroplasty with an EVOLVE prosthesis in our institution.

Introduction: The interval slide procedure (IS) has been introduced to improve mobility in massive, retracted rotator cuff tears. As clinical studies showed controversial results, the benefit of the IS is still widely discussed.
Aim: Aim of this study was to analyze the effect of IS procedure on tendon mobility in a fresh porcine cadaver model.
Background: The benefits of the interval slide (IS) procedure in retracted rotator cuff tears remain controversial.
Purpose: The purpose was to evaluate the effect of the IS procedure on repair tension (RT). It was hypothesized that the IS procedure (anterior IS [AIS], posterior IS [PIS], and intra-articular capsular release [CR]) would reduce the RT of a supraspinatus tendon.
