Article Abstract
Objective: The objective was to study the injuries from the deployment of military parachutes when parachuting with foreign armies.
Methods: The number and nature of injuries sustained while military parachuting with domestic and foreign parachute systems and techniques was compared.
Results: Of a total of 370 parachutists, 41 (11.1%) suffered minor injuries following two descents on the British parachute, 20 (5.4%) of these were classified as riser injuries. Thirty-eight (25.9%) of 147 British parachutists sustained riser injuries following two descents with the French parachute. Thirty-four (89.5%) of these injuries were minor posterior-auricular bruises and abrasions not requiring treatment. Four (10.5%) were extensive posterior-auricular abrasions that required treatment. Two soldiers (5.3%) suffered lacerations of the attachment of the pinna to the head. There were no riser injuries and no other injuries when the soldiers parachuted with their own countries parachutes in the proceeding two descents.
Conclusion: Failure to adhere to drills led to injuries with foreign parachute systems.

SPECT/CT for Early Detection of Stress Reactions After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Potential Clinical Significance.
Clin Nucl Med
March 2024
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University, School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
The altered biomechanics after reverse shoulder arthroplasty, combined with the accumulation of various stress risers, can lead to stress fractures (SFs) around the prosthesis. The incidence of stress reactions (SRs) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty, characterized by pain and tenderness without radiographic or CT evidence of fractures, is approximately 4.2%, which is comparable to the incidence of SF (6.

Background: To evaluate the outcome of shoulder arthroscopy-assisted implantation of three-dimensional (3D)-printed titanium pads for recurrent shoulder dislocation with glenoid bone defects.
Methods: From June 2019 to May 2020, the clinical efficacy of 3D printed titanium pad implantation assisted by shoulder arthroscopy, for the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocations with shoulder glenoid defects was retrospectively analyzed. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder, Rowe, and Constant scores were recorded before surgery and at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery.
Surgical approaches to periprosthetic femoral fractures for plate fixation or revision arthroplasty.
Bone Joint J

Edinburgh Orthopaedics, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.
Periprosthetic femoral fractures are increasing in incidence, and typically occur in frail elderly patients. They are similar to pathological fractures in many ways. The aims of treatment are the same, including 'getting it right first time' with a single operation, which allows immediate unrestricted weightbearing, with a low risk of complications, and one that avoids the creation of stress risers locally that may predispose to further peri-implant fracture.

Although satisfactory clinical outcomes are found with both repair techniques, few studies provide a side-to-side comparison. However, recent research demonstrates better clinical outcomes in using suture anchors, with equal failure rates.

Posterior instability, although an uncommon shoulder pathology, is reported most frequently in the athletic population. Arthroscopic repair has emerged as the main surgical treatment modality for posterior instability. However, when compared with arthroscopic repair for anterior instability, the results of this procedure remain suboptimal.
