Returning to golf after rotator cuff repair.

Background: The prevalence of rotator cuff repair is increasing; however, no study has assessed patients who have returned to golf activity after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: The subjects of the survey were 633 patients who were at least two years postoperative after rotator cuff repair from January 2005 to December 2017. From August 2019 to October 2019, survey responses were collected via an online questionnaire or phone calls and a total of 197 patients were reviewed retrospectively to study about returning to golf after rotator cuff repair.

Long-term outcomes of the modified Nirschl technique for lateral Epicondylitis: a retrospective study.

Background: Although the Nirschl technique was introduced approximately 40 years ago, only limited information is available about the long-term results, especially concerning extensor power changes after surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate long-term clinical results of surgical treatment of lateral epicondylitis using the modified Nirschl technique. The main outcome variable was muscle strength for wrist extension because the extensor origin was not reattached after removal of the degenerative extensor tendon.

Modification of Titanium Implant and Titanium Dioxide for Bone Tissue Engineering.

Bone tissue engineering using titanium (Ti) implant and titanium dioxide (TiO) with their modification is gaining increasing attention. Ti has been adopted as an implant material in dental and orthopedic fields due to its superior properties. However, it still requires modification in order to achieve robust osteointegration between the Ti implant and surrounding bone.

Treatment of Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures Following Hip Arthroplasty.

Purpose: This study was performed to assess potential improvements in clinical outcomes when applying recent advanced hip arthroplasty surgical techniques and understand the potential relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and surgical outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Among 37 cases of periprosthetic femoral fractures after hip arthroplasty treated between March 2014 and September 2016, all included a follow-up of at least one year and were included in this study. Outcomes were evaluated using the Beals and Tower's criteria.

Multiple glomus tumours in multidigit nail bed.

Glomus tumours are lesions of the glomus body. A solitary glomus tumour is a more common, characteristically painful lesion, frequently located under the nail, whereas multiple glomus tumours are a rare clinical and genetic entity. Multiple glomus tumours are rarely subungual and do not show preference for any particular region of the body.
