Article Synopsis
- Epinephrine in arthroscopic irrigation improves surgeon-rated visual clarity in shoulder surgeries, and subacromial injections are also explored for their effects.
- A study aimed to determine if preoperative subacromial injections of epinephrine enhance surgeon visualization during arthroscopic shoulder surgery, hypothesizing that it would lead to better outcomes.
- In a randomized controlled trial with 60 patients, while the epinephrine group reported slightly better visual clarity scores, the difference was not statistically significant, indicating no clear advantage over the control group.
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to assess the effects of a distal clavicle resection of less than 5 mm on bony contact and compliance in the acromioclavicular (AC) joint and to localize areas of persistent contact in the AC joint. The hypothesis of this study was that AC contact can be avoided by excising less than 5 mm of bone from the distal clavicle.
Methods: Ten human AC joints underwent compressive loading of the distal clavicle into the acromion after the following: disk excision, distal clavicle resection of 2.
