Purpose: To explore if recentering the humeral head could improve shoulder abduction in shoulders with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCTs).
Methods: Nine fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were used to simulate the intact condition and IMRCTs as controls. Four 'recenter' interventions were then sequentially applied: subacromial interposition (SI) using 4- and 8-mm spacers and superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) using two- and four-layer fascia lata grafts.

Background: Medical Visual Question Answering (MedVQA) enhances diagnostic accuracy and healthcare delivery by leveraging artificial intelligence to interpret medical images. This study aims to redefine MedVQA as a generation task that mirrors human-machine interaction and to develop a model capable of integrating complex visual and textual information.
Methods: We constructed a large-scale medical visual-question answering dataset, PMC-VQA, containing 227,000 VQA pairs across 149,000 images that span various modalities and diseases.
