Objective: We review the application of isokinetic testing and training for the shoulder complex, the interpretation of isokinetic testing data, and the application of normative data in the rehabilitation and performance enhancement of the athlete.
Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE for the years 1989- 1999 using the key words "isokinetics," "shoulder," and "upper extremity."
Data Synthesis: Isokinetic testing and training is an integral part of the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of the shoulder complex. This mode of exercise allows for objective, isolated joint testing and training.
Conclusions/recommendations: Isokinetic training and testing is an important part of the comprehensive evaluation and rehabilitation of the patient with a shoulder injury. Research has demonstrated its efficacy in training and in providing clinically relevant information regarding muscular performance. When integrated with a complete history, subjective examination, and physical and functional evaluation, isokinetic exercise can be a valuable tool for the clinician in the assessment, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement of the athlete.

Brachial plexus birth palsy, a devastating injury affecting newborns, has long been a source of contention and misunderstanding. This article aims to dispel the myth that healthcare providers are solely responsible for these injuries, presenting evidence that highlights the complex interplay of maternal, fetal, and biological factors in their causation. By shifting the narrative away from blame and towards a more comprehensive understanding, we can foster a more supportive and informed approach to childbirth.

A patient in his early adolescence, who was treated for T5-T6 tubercular spondylodiscitis with an un-instrumented decompression, presented at 36 months post-index surgery, for post-laminectomy instability and kyphosis, after completing his requisite antitubercular treatment. He underwent thoracic posterior instrumented kyphosis correction and anterior reconstruction, with a T5-T6 partial corpectomy and corpectomy spacer placement, through a posterior midline incision. On the second postoperative day, he started complaining of pain on the left side of his chest, abdomen and left shoulder.

Anterior glenoid rim resorption after arthroscopic Bankart repair by the footprint fixation technique and its correlation with the healing of the repaired capsulolabral complex: a computed tomography and magnetic resonance arthrography imaging study.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Osaka International Medical & Science Center, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Studies have revealed that anterior glenoid rim bone resorption occurs in the early stage after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) if bony Bankart lesions are absent or fail to heal. However, this structural change has never been studied after repair by footprint fixation (FF). Additionally, the relationship between the extent of rim resorption and healing of the repaired capsulolabral complex (CLC) remains unclear.

Scapular fractures are rare, typically resulting from high-energy trauma. These injuries frequently present alongside other thoracic or shoulder injuries. Patients often exhibit posterior shoulder pain, swelling, and limited range of motion, which can suggest a variety of shoulder pathologies.
