A 58-year-old woman came to the outpatient clinic with exacerbation of chronic shoulder pain following a shoulder accident two week before. After the accident, she had been treated abroad with percutaneous K-wire fixation following the diagnosis of a displaced greater tuberosity fracture. X-ray images of the shoulder, however, showed calcification of the supraspinatus tendon fixed to the humerus, rather than a greater tuberosity fracture. After removal of the K-wires, the patient made a good recovery.

Introduction: This study presents an innovative arthroscopy-assisted total wrist arthrodesis technique utilising three hollow screws, aimed at improving clinical outcomes for patients with severe wrist arthritis.
Materials And Methods: The technique involved the placement of three hollow screws to facilitate wrist bone fusion. Between August 2019 and August 2023, four patients diagnosed with severe wrist arthritis underwent the arthroscopy-assisted procedure.
Arthroscopic Humeroplasty in the Treatment of Acute Reverse Hill-Sachs Lesion Associated With Posterior Shoulder Instability.

Reverse Hill-Sachs lesions (RHSL) are common complications associated with posterior shoulder dislocations and represent a significant challenge for preserving joint stability and function. If untreated, these compression fractures of the anteromedial humeral head can compromise the integrity of the joint, predisposing patients to recurrent instability and arthropathy. While various treatment modalities exist, achieving an anatomic reduction of the defect while preserving the articular cartilage remains a desirable outcome, particularly in acute settings.

Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a rare brachial plexus neuropathy with a sudden onset of upper extremity pain, weakness, and loss of range of motion (ROM). Studies on occupational therapy (OT) interventions are limited. The aim of this case report was to explore the OT experiences, interventions, and outcomes of a patient with PTS.

Background: The importance of the subscapularis for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been demonstrated, especially for internal rotation and stability. In a deltopectoral approach, a detachment of the subscapularis is performed (tenotomy, tuberosity peeling, or osteotomy), but the tendon is not always repairable at the end. When it is repaired, healing is obtained in only 40%-76% of the cases, with potential consequences for the outcomes.
