A cadaveric study of the posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament of the shoulder and its dynamic behaviour in different arm positions.

Purpose: The inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) is composed of three parts: the anterior branch or band (AB), the axillary pouch and the posterior band (PB). The latter has rarely been studied. We aim to describe the PB of the IGHL and its dynamic behaviour in different arm positions.

The IBTIS score; a new prognostic score for arthroscopic biceps tenotomies.

Introduction: Shoulder pain associated with tendinopathy of the long head of biceps (LHB) is common. Surgical treatment with arthroscopic tenotomy of the LHB has been shown to be effective. However, it's efficacy is inconsistent.

Group A Streptococcal Paronychia and Blistering Distal Dactylitis in Children: Diagnostic Accuracy of a Rapid Diagnostic Test and Efficacy of Antibiotic Treatment.

Among 174 children with blistering distal dactylitis or paronychia, 36.2% had a positive group A Streptococcus (GAS) rapid detection antigen. For GAS, the outcome for patients who received amoxicillin was favorable in all cases without any surgical procedures; 44.

Arthroscopic debridement for osteoarthritis of the elbow: Results and analysis of predictive factors.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis is the second most frequent cause of elbow stiffness, after trauma sequelae. Surgical treatment mainly consists of debridement. The main aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of arthroscopic treatment of osteoarthritis of the elbow on Andrews-Carson score.

Three-dimensional-printed patient-specific Kirschner-wire guide for percutaneous fixation of undisplaced scaphoid fractures: a cadaveric study.

Undisplaced scaphoid waist fractures can be managed by percutaneous fixation. The purpose of this study is to compare percutaneous fixation using a three-dimensional (3-D)-printed guide with the conventional method in a cadaveric study. Twelve wrists were divided into two groups: standard fluroscopic technique group, and a patient-specific 3-D-printed guide group.
