This paper reports on luxation of the elbow joint without concomitant fracture in a 1-month-old foal. Conservative treatment, with closed reduction and full-limb bandaging, including caudal and lateral splints, seemed successful initially, however, failed to provide enough stability and luxation recurred, and open reduction and surgical placement of prosthetic collateral ligaments was required. Luxation of the elbow joint should be considered when acute non-weight bearing forelimb lameness occurs associated with pain and swelling in the area of the elbow in young foals. Closed reduction failed to provide sufficient joint stability.

Introduction: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries pose significant challenges in clinical management, necessitating consensus guidelines for optimal treatment. There is a lack of consensus in several areas, including imaging protocols, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation timelines. This study aims to develop a consensus regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of AC joint separations.

Background: Reversed shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is often used to restore functionality in patients with joint arthropathy and dysfunctional rotator cuff. As rTSA changes the biomechanical properties of the shoulder, an altered movement pattern of arm and scapula is to be expected. Previous studies focused on changes of the scapulohumeral rhythm during functional elevation tasks.

We investigated the effects of static and dynamic fatigue on motor synergies, focusing on their hierarchical control. Specifically, we examined whether changes in fatigue influence the central nervous system's ability to preserve movement stability. In addition to exploring the direct impact of fatigue on motor synergies, we also analyzed its effects at two distinct levels of hierarchical control, aiming to elucidate the mechanisms by which fatigue alters motor coordination and stability.

Background: There are various options of tendon transfer according to the different types of irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCTs). However, there were no clear treatment options for the IRCTs involving the anterior, superior and posterior rotator cuff tears (global IRCTs). Latissimus dorsi and teres major (LDTM) could be transferred anteriorly or posteriorly in global IRCTs.
