Assessment of pain relief provided by interscalene regional block and infusion pump after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of interscalene regional blocks and infusion pumps for postoperative pain control after arthroscopic subacromial decompression with or without arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: Seventy-six patients were included in the prospective study. Participants were randomized into 4 treatment groups: (1) interscalene regional block, (2) infusion pump with 0.

Elbow function after repair of the distal biceps brachii tendon with a two-incision approach.

A modified Boyd-Anderson 2-incision approach is commonly used to repair the distal biceps tendon after avulsion from the radial tuberosity. Using suture anchors for fixation instead of a bone trough simplifies the procedure. This retrospective study enrolled 32 patients who underwent surgical repair of the distal biceps tendon with a 2-incision approach and 2 suture anchors.
