Objective: Reconstruction of the acromion, to achieve pain relief and better function of the deltoid muscle.
Indications: After partial or complete removal of the acromion.
Contraindications: General surgical contraindications. Paresis of the axillary nerve.
Surgical Technique: Strategy of the operation with X-ray and CT scan. Patient in beach chair position. Disinfection of the shoulder and lateral pelvic region. Exploration of the defect area and searching for the lateral clavicula and spinascapulae end. Removal of a pelvic bone block. Fixation of the pelvic bone block to the spina scapulae with K-wires and finally osteosynthesis by a Reco plate (Synthes, Umkirch, Germany), wound closure.
Postoperative Management: For the first 6 weeks, a cast with the arm in 90° abduction. Passive motion without the cast should be performed once a day. Starting in week 7, weekly reduction of abduction (90°/60°/30°/0°). Active mobilization starting in week 10. Start to practice with weight bearing in week 13.
Results: Pain relief improved from VAS 7-9 to VAS 2-3. Improved ROM can be seen postoperatively and after 6 months for abduction/adduction 50-0-50°, anteversion/retroversion 80-0-10°, rotation out/in 40-0-10°.

Does perioperative electroacupuncture reduce postoperative pain in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy?
Front Vet Sci
January 2025
Department for Clinical Diagnostics and Services, Section of Anaesthesiology, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of perioperative electroacupuncture in fifty-six healthy female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy as part of a catch-neuter-release project.
Materials And Methods: Ten minutes after sedation with 20 μg/kg medetomidine combined with 0.3 mg/kg butorphanol intramuscularly, the dogs were randomly allocated into two groups and received either electroacupuncture (EA, = 27) or sham acupuncture (C, = 29) treatment for 10 min (after sedation until the end of the surgery) at 6 different acupuncture points LI-4 (Large intestine 4), LIV-3 (Liver 3), ST-36 (Stomach 36), SP-6 (Spleen 6) bilateral.
Percutaneous ballon compression, a better choice for primary trigeminal neuralgia compared to microvascular decompression?

Objective: Demonstrate the superiority of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN) compared to trigeminal microvascular decompression (MVD).
Methods: Clinical data, including immediate, short-term, and long-term pain relief, complications, duration of the operation, and postoperative hospital stay, were retrospectively analyzed for 114 patients diagnosed with PTN who were treated with either PBC or MVD between January 2018 and December 2021.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences observed in the pain relief rates between the two surgical methods at 24 h postoperatively (MVD: 91.
Temporary trigeminal ganglion stimulation can improve zoster-related trigeminal neuralgia: a retrospective study in a single center.
Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Pain Management, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, China.
Introduction: Conventional management approaches have been challenged in dealing with zoster-related trigeminal neuralgia. Percutaneous trigeminal ganglion stimulation (TGS) has been rarely reported as a potential treatment option for alleviating pain associated with this condition. The present study investigated the application of percutaneous TGS in a series of patients suffering from Zoster-related trigeminal neuralgia to evaluate its potential efficacy of pain relief.

Recurrent groin pain following periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a challenging problem. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the position and dynamics of the psoas tendon as a potential cause for recurrent groin pain following PAO. A total of 386 PAO procedures, performed between January 2013 and January 2020, were identified from a single surgeon series.
