Background: Computed tomography (CT) coupled with arthrography remains the reference standard for the preoperative evaluation of rotator cuff tears. The objectives of this study were to evaluate intra-observer and inter-observer reproducibilities of CT-arthrographic assessment of the subscapularis tendon and to assess the validity and reliability of this investigation.
Hypothesis: CT-arthrography is reliable and reproducible for the preoperative characterisation of subscapularis tendon lesions.
Introduction: Acromioclavicular dislocation (ACD) is frequent, at 8% of all shoulder traumas. Management in grade III lesions remains controversial. The present study assessed objective and subjective results at medium-term follow-up (mean, 60 months; range, 12-120 mo) in 27 patients managed by Ligastic(®) ligament reconstruction for acute dislocation.

Purpose Of The Study: Primary and secondary stability of the Esop prosthesis depends exclusively on cementless metaphyseal anchoring. This modular implant is composed of an hydroxyapatite-coated metaphysis on which a diaphyseal piece is added intraoperoperatively simply to act as a centering device. The purpose of this retrospective analysis of a consecutive series was to assess primary and secondary stability of the Esop implant by measuring axial migration over time.
