Humeral head cysts: association with rotator cuff tears and age.

The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the prevalence of the cystic changes at rotator cuff footprint on proximal humeral tuberosities and investigate their relationship with rotator cuff tears and patient age. Magnetic resonance (MR) images of 657 patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy for treatment of rotator cuff disorders were reviewed to localize the cystic changes at anterior (supraspinatus insertion) and posterior (infraspinatus insertion) aspects of greater tuberosity (GT) and lesser tuberosity (subscapularis insertion). Preoperative MR reports as well as cyst size and locations on MR images were correlated with arthroscopic records of rotator cuff pathology (tear type, size, location and tendon involvement) and patient age.

Periosteal adventitia is a valuable bone graft alternative.

Background: Periosteal adventitia is believed to consist of fibrous tissue without any regenerative potential. This theory results in the assumption that surgically stripped periosteum which is also adventitial has no bone regeneration potential. We decided to test whether the periosteal adventitia is osteoinductive and whether it is suitable for a commonly faced clinical situation in an animal model.

The role of radiological subacromial distance measurements in the subacromial impingement syndrome.

Subacromial impingement is one of the most common causes of painful shoulder in the middle aged and elderly population. Since Neer's first description of the process, many investigators have researched this condition in an effort to gain a better understanding of the disease etiology. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the radiological subacromial distance measurements and the subacromial impingement syndrome in a series of patients from our institution.

Arthroscopic repair of type II superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions in patients over the age of 45 years: a prospective study.

Background: Superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions are a well-defined cause of shoulder pain and disability and may occur in conjunction with rotator cuff tears. This study was designed to prospectively evaluate the minimum 2 year results of arthroscopic repair of type II SLAP lesions in patients over the age of 45 years with and without rotator cuff tears.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-five patients with symptomatic type II SLAP lesions were enrolled in the study.

Does surgical repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture cause structural changes on 15-year follow-up?

We describe a case, which gives an answer to the question of 'Does the surgical repair of the acute Achilles tendon ruptures cause the structural changes in the 15-year follow-up?' The only complaint of the patient was the feeling of that the size of the left foot is smaller than the right side. Dynamic pedobarography (EMED-SF, Novel, Munich) demonstrated that left foot has less total contact area, higher pressure values, lower arch index, more laterally located center of pressure, and higher medial arch than that of the right one.

Intra-articular variations of the long head of the biceps tendon.

Purpose: The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) generally runs free through its course in the glenohumeral joint. It can rarely be seen as attached to the joint capsule or the rotator cuff in different patterns. Although these variations are usually considered harmless in the literature, they may occur in conjunction with the labral pathologies.

Anatomical variations of the anterosuperior labrum: prevalence and association with type II superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions.

Background: Anterosuperior labrum variations have been generally described as innocent anatomical variations without clinical significance. This study was intended to determine their prevalence and reveal their possible relationship with type II SLAP lesions.

Materials And Methods: A total of 713 consecutive shoulder arthroscopies were evaluated retrospectively for anterosuperior labrum variations and co-existing labral pathologies.

Evaluation of DNA damage after tourniquet-induced ischaemia/reperfusion injury during lower extremity surgery.

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury represents a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in various statuses that is, coronary bypass, myocardial infarction, and so on. Oxygen free radicals, formed during I/R, have been proposed as one of the main causes of tissue injury and play important role in I/R injury. Leucocytes have been shown to play an important role in the development of tissue injury after I/R.

Intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus treated with the triceps-reflecting anconeus pedicle approach.

Introduction: Treatment choice for displaced, intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through a posterior approach. The triceps-reflecting anconeus pedicle (TRAP) approach, combination of modified Kocher and Bryan-Morrey has been described as a conservative surgical exposure for fixation of the complex intercondylar fractures.

Materials And Methods: Eleven patients with intercondylar fractures of the humerus operated with this approach were reviewed.

[Multidirectional shoulder instability and open surgical procedures].

The principles and procedures for multidirectional instability do not substantially differ from those for anterior instability. Correct diagnosis is difficult, but it is important for a successful treatment. Conservative treatment should be attempted before surgery.

[Open surgical treatment of recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder].

Recurrent anterior gleonohumeral instability is the most frequent joint instability of the body. Because of the complex stability mechanisms and diverse instability patterns of the glenohumeral joint, most cases present with more than one anatomic cause. Thus, the treatment of recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder should be designed to treat these pathologies.

[Shoulder instability: classification and methods of clinical examination].

The shoulder is a complex joint whose stability relies on both dynamic and static factors. Dysfunction of one of these components gives rise to shoulder problems. Diagnosis of shoulder instability depends on a detailed history and appropriate physical examination.

[Anatomy, biomechanics, and pathophysiology of instability of the glenohumeral joint].

The stability of the shoulder is dependent on both static and dynamic anatomic restraints. In most cases, there must be insufficiency of more than one restraint for the shoulder joint to become instable. Although the role of these restraints is largely known in maintaining shoulder stability, our information on their interactions is insufficient.

Screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip: results of a 7-year follow-up study.
