Painful shoulder syndrome is a frequent cause of visit at physician. The development of knowledge about the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder allows, based on detailed examination, to precise localization of the shoulder dysfunction. Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common cause of pain as well as of limited motion of the shoulder region. Misdiagnosis and mistreatment can lead to serious damage of the structures placed in the subacromial space including the rotator cuff, which along with the deltoid are responsible for movements of the upper limb in the shoulder joint. If not taken seriously, the problem can cause irreversible damages which will result in pain and limitations of upper limb movements.

Rotator cuff tendon injuries often lead to shoulder pain and dysfunction. Traditional treatments such as surgery and physical therapy can provide temporary relief, but it is difficult to achieve complete healing of the tendon, mainly because of the limited repair capacity of the tendon cells. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to explore new treatment methods.

Objective: Musculoskeletal symptoms are common among surgical staff and can have long-term implications on health and wellbeing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of anti-fatigue floor mat on the comfort level of surgical teams during head and neck surgeries lasting ≥ 3 h.
Methods: Over 4 months, we prospectively randomized 34 major (≥ 3 h) head and neck procedures to the use or not of an anti-fatigue floor mat.

Background: Previous studies have shown that dyslipidemia is significantly associated with primary frozen shoulder and may be a risk factor for the development of primary frozen shoulder. However, these findings may be biased by a number of confounding factors. We investigated the association between serum lipids and primary frozen shoulder by retrospective analysis and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of three treatment methods for older adult patients with osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures: proximal humerus locking plate (PHILOS) combined with calcium sulfate injection, PHILOS plate alone, and artificial hemi-shoulder joint replacement.
Methods: The clinical data of 48 older adult patients with osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures admitted to the Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Department of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Dalian University from February 2018-August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients comprised 18 males and 30 females, with a mean age of (68.

Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are a common orthopedic challenge, particularly in older adults. Percutaneous pinning, a minimally invasive technique, aims to stabilize fractures while preserving soft tissue integrity. This study evaluates the functional and radiological outcomes of patients treated with percutaneous pinning at a single center over five years.
