Upper extremity nerve injuries in cyclists include carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy at the wrist. Electromyography and nerve conduction studies aid in the diagnosis of neuropathies. Diagnostic ultrasonography or MRI can also be helpful for evaluation. Overuse injuries in the upper extremity includes biker's elbow, or a tendinopathy of the common flexor or extensor tendons, which is more common in mountain biking. Neck pain is also a common issue for cyclists. Treatment of these conditions varies from conservative management to surgical options, but a bicycle fit assessment is recommended for any ongoing symptoms.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background: Revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) of a previously cemented humeral component is challenging. In hip arthroplasty, the cement-within-cement (CwC) technique has been well described as an effective option. However, for shoulder arthroplasty there remains a paucity of data investigating this technique.
