The correlation of supraspinatus outlet view with computed tomography for visualization of the anterior acromial undersurface.

Introduction: Understanding the real shape of the undersurface of the acromion prior to acromioplasty is indispensable. Today, Supraspinatus outlet view (SSOV) is a standard view used to determine the shape of the anterior acromion. Three types of acromial undersurface were described by Bigliani and Morrison.

Hodgkin Lymphoma Presenting as Severe Shoulder Pain Following Small Quantities of Alcohol Ingestion: A Case Report.

Case: Shoulder pain is a common symptom. We report a case of a twenty-two-year-old man who had shoulder pain that was induced by small quantities of alcohol ingestion, which is an unusual presenting sign of Hodgkin lymphoma. The history, physical examination of the shoulder, and imaging revealed no noteworthy findings.

A dynamic ultrasound examination for the diagnosis of ankle syndesmotic injury in professional athletes: a preliminary study.

Background: Syndesmotic ankle injuries are not easy to recognize when an associated fracture or frank diastasis is not present. There is a need for a simple, fast, inexpensive, and easily reproducible diagnostic tool to assess the integrity of the distal tibiofibular synedesmosis.

Hypothesis: Dynamic ultrasound (US) examination can accurately diagnose anteroinferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) rupture.

[Deep vein thrombosis and thromboembolism in arthroscopic surgery].

Unlabelled: Thromboembolic events that occur after routine arthroscopic surgery comprise a complication which may carry lethal consequences. The occurrence of this complication after arthroscopic surgery raises the question as to whether prophylactic anticoagulation should be instituted in these procedures. This review aimed to verify, by a literature search, if routine antithrombotic prophylaxis is justified in arthroscopic surgery.

Avulsion of the distal biceps brachii tendon in middle-aged population: is surgical repair advisable? A comparative study of 22 patients treated with either nonoperative management or early anatomical repair.

Introduction: Operative anatomical repair following complete avulsion of the distal biceps brachii tendon in athletic population is usually recommended. However, there is no clear consensus as to the advisability of the operation in middle-aged population. We therefore undertook a study to examine whether early anatomical repair in this specific population is preferable to nonoperative management.

A simple method for quantitative evaluation of the missing area of the anterior glenoid in anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe and validate a simple method to quantitatively calculate the missing area of the anterior part of the glenoid in anterior glenohumeral instability.

Materials And Methods: The calculations were developed from three-dimensional (3D)-reconstructed computerized tomography en face images of the glenoid with "subtraction" of the humeral head in 13 consecutive cases with known anterior glenohumeral joint instability diagnosed by history and clinical examination. The inferior portion of the glenoid was approximated to a true circle whose center was determined by means of a femoral head gauge.

Iatrogenic forearm compartment syndrome in a cardiac intensive care unit induced by brachial artery puncture and acute anticoagulation.

A previously healthy patient developed late compartment syndrome in the cardiac intensive care unit after a brachial artery puncture due to acute heparinization after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stent implantation. The cardiologists recognized the problem and immediately consulted an orthopedic surgeon, who promptly performed surgery. The latter consisted of decompression and fasciotomy.
