Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding how bone mineral density (BMD) in the proximal humerus relates to conventional BMD measurements typically done at the lumbar spine and femur in patients with rotator cuff tears (RCT).
- Researchers evaluated 87 patients who underwent surgery for unilateral RCTs and measured factors like age, body mass index, and the size of the tear.
- Results showed that the BMD of the proximal humerus was significantly lower than conventional BMD values, and there was no correlation between them, suggesting that proximal humerus BMD measurements might provide additional insights in osteoporosis evaluations.
: Iatrogenic fractures are potential complications during intramedullary (IM) nailing for atypical femoral fractures (AFFs). The risk factors associated with iatrogenic fractures remain unclear, although excessive femoral bowing and osteoporosis are hypothesized to be contributing factors. The present study aimed to determine the risk factors for the occurrence of iatrogenic fractures during IM nailing in patients with AFFs.

Methods: We retrospectively studied the records of patients with isolated GT fractures who underwent open reduction and internal fixation using a 3.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how common postoperative radial nerve palsy (PORNP) is after treating humeral shaft fractures using a specific surgical technique called the posterior triceps splitting approach.
- Researchers analyzed data from 118 patients treated by a single surgeon, categorizing fractures by location and the AO/OTA classification system, and recorded recovery times for any PORNP cases.
- Results showed an 11% incidence of PORNP, with full recovery occurring within an average of 10.3 weeks; notably, experience level of the surgeon significantly reduced the incidence of nerve palsy, but fracture level and type did not have a significant impact.
Backgroud: The purpose of this study was to compare the histologic outcomes of rotator cuff (RC) repair with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) augmentation and those without DBM augmentation and to evaluate the role of DBM for tendon-to-bone (TB) healing in a rabbit model.
Methods: Twenty-six adult male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly allocated to the control group (n = 13) or the DBM group (n = 13). Repair was performed 8 weeks after complete transection of the right supraspinatus tendon of all rabbits.
Introduction: This study compared the clinical outcome and repair integrity of single-loaded and double-loaded single-row arthroscopic repair of chronic anterior shoulder instability.
Materials And Methods: Fifty consecutive chronic anterior shoulder instability cases treated by arthroscopic labral repair were included. A single-loaded single-row technique was used in the first 25 consecutive shoulders, and a double-loaded single-row technique was used in the next 25 consecutive shoulders.
A 48-year-old man visited the emergency room with right hip pain that started abruptly while walking out of the bathroom. Computed tomography showed an intraosseous mass in the femoral neck. The patient had a 15-year history of gout and had numerous bilateral tophi in his hands, feet, knees, and elbows.

In physical examination, the patient was presumed to be diagnosed femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular labral tear. In radiologic evaluation, FAI and acetabular labral tear were identified and bony tumor associated with internal snapping was found on the posteromedial portion of the femoral neck.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-five rabbits with a mean body weight of 2.5 kg were chosen for this study.
