Objectives: Edema after shoulder arthroscopic surgery poses concerns due to its potential complications such as compartment syndrome, nerve damage, and respiratory issues. This study aimed to investigate the acute accumulation of subcutaneous fluid after shoulder arthroscopy.
Methods: A prospective cohort study, providing Level III evidence was conducted on 50 patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under interscalene block anaesthesia from September to December 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the frequency of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and the outcomes of surgeries for Scheuermann’s Kyphosis (SK) using either only pedicle screws or a mix of hooks and screws.
- Researchers evaluated 37 SK patients retrospectively, dividing them into two groups: one with only pedicle screws (22 patients) and the other with a mix of proximal hooks and pedicle screws (15 patients), tracking their clinical and radiological progress for at least 2 years.
- Results showed no significant differences in overall scores between the two groups; however, the pedicle screws group had larger increases in PJK angles, suggesting that using hooks may help reduce the risk of PJK.
