AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of stretching versus muscle strengthening exercises on patients with forward scapular posture.
- The research involved 20 participants with forward shoulder posture, who were divided into two groups: one performing pectoralis muscle stretches and the other doing scapular retraction strength exercises.
- Results showed that the scapular retraction exercise group experienced a significantly greater reduction in forward shoulder posture compared to the stretching group, suggesting that strength exercises could enhance therapeutic outcomes and reduce recovery time.
Article Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare effect in a group of stretching and a group of muscle strengthening exercise for patients with forward scapular posture. [Subjects and Methods] This study was performed in 20 subjects who defined to the forward shoulder posture. The subjects were divided into a group of pectoralis muscles stretching and a group of muscle strength exercise for scapular retraction. [Results] The forward shoulder posture of the group of the scapular retraction exercise was significantly decreased when compared to that of the group of the pectoralis muscles stretching. [Conclusion] It is expected that therapeutic effect can be improved and the period can be shortened when strength exercise for forward shoulder posture is applied as a therapeutic intervention.

The effect of arthroscopic Bankart repair and remplissage procedure on joint range of motion and functional outcomes in anterior shoulder instability.
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the e!ect of arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) alone and ABR with an additional remplissage procedure on joint range of motion and functional results in patients with anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients treated 1 year ago with either ABR alone or the ABR additional remplissage procedure. The Bankart lesion was determined by magnetic resonance imaging, and the amount of glenoid bone loss was determined by computed tomography.
To our knowledge, no Dutch questionnaires exist to administer patient satisfaction after total shoulder arthroplasty. The goal of this study is to develop a Dutch translation of the satisfaction questionnaire used by Swarup et al. (2017)1, into Dutch.

Zhenfeng Huang Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Wuhan Fourth Hospital, Wuhan, Hubei Province 430000, P.R. China.
Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of titanium locking plate combined with suture anchor (SA) repair in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHF).
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted by analyzing the clinical data of 113 patients with PHF admitted to Wuhan Fourth Hospital from March 2021 to October 2023. Among them, 55 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) using titanium locking plate (OR/IF group), and 58 patients underwent surgery with titanium locking plate combined with SA (SA group).

Purpose: To summarize complication rates, reoperation rates, length-of-stay (LOS), patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and range of motion following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in patients with preexisting psychiatric disorders (PDs) compared to controls.
Methods: Three databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE) were searched from inception to 4 March 2024 to identify studies comparing outcomes between patients undergoing anatomic (aTSA) or reverse TSA (rTSA) with or without a preexisting psychiatric condition. The authors adhered to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses and revised assessment of multiple systematic review guidelines.
