Introduction: The relationship of hip range of motion (ROM) to shoulder, elbow, abdominal, and back injuries remains undefined.
Methods: We assessed hip ROM on players reporting to Major League Spring Training for an organization over six seasons (2010 to 2015). Hip ROM was correlated with player abdominal, back, shoulder, and elbow injury status for those seasons using multivariate binomial logistic regression analysis.
Results: A total of 258 player-seasons (129 pitchers and 129 position players) resulted in 20 back and 35 abdominal injuries across all players and 28 elbow and 25 shoulder injuries in pitchers. Hip ROM did not correlate with shoulder or elbow injuries. Hip internal rotation deficit of 5° correlated with core injury (odds ratio [OR], 1.40; P = 0.024 for pitchers; OR, 1.35; P = 0.026 for position players) and back injury (OR, 1.160; P = 0.022 for pitchers).
Discussion: Hip internal rotation deficits were predictive of back and abdominal injuries but not shoulder or elbow injury.

Biomechanical coordination and variability alters following repetitive movement fatigue in overhead athletes with painful shoulder.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Sport Biomechanics, Faculty of Sports Sciences, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran.
Most sports and leisure activities involve repetitive movements in the upper limb, which are typically linked to pain and discomfort in the neck and shoulder area. Movement variability is generally expressed by changes in movement parameters from one movement to another and is a time-dependent feature of repetitive activities. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of repeated movement-induced fatigue on biomechanical coordination and variability in athletes with and without chronic shoulder pain (CSP).

Background: Increasing one's walking speed is an important goal in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Insufficient arm swing in people post-stroke might limit their ability to propel the body forward and increase walking speed.
Purpose: To investigate the speed-dependent changes (and their contributing factors) in the arm swing of persons post-stroke.
Reconstruction of the Superior Capsule Using Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft Combined With Transposition of Biceps Tendon for Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Sports Medicine Center, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery/Orthopaedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Traditional superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with biceps tendon transposition (TB) alone for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCTs) has demonstrated a high retear rate, highlighting the need for alternative approaches. Therefore, SCR using a peroneus longus tendon graft (PLG) combined with TB (PLG-TB) should be clinically studied.
Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of SCR using the PLG-TB technique versus the TB technique alone for IMRCT.
Full-Polyethylene Glenosphere Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Functional outcomes and notching rate at mid-term follow-up.

Department of trauma and orthopedics surgery. Mouwasat Hospital Dammam, 32263 Eastern Province Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Unlabelled: Introduction-Aim: Full-polyethylene glenosphere reverse shoulder arthroplasty (FP-RSA) known commonly as inverted-bearing concept utilizes a polyethylene glenosphere and metallic humeral liner. The aim was to assess mid-term outcomes of FP-RSA focusing on the incidence of scapular notching.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 24 consecutive primary FP-RSA performed between 2017 and 2020 was conducted.
Synovial lipomatosis is an uncommon, intra-articular, fat-containing, proliferative lesion with unknown etiology that is rarely reported in dogs. A retrospective study spanning 13 years was conducted to search for cases of canine synovial lipomatosis. Among 188 synovial biopsies of major diarthrodial joints (ie, shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle, and tarsus) from 186 dogs, 4 cases (2.
