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.

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.

Case: A 52-year-old male fell from his bike and sustained fractures of the right proximal humerus and the left distal radius, both of which were fixed in a single sitting a day after the injury. On postoperative day four, the patient developed features suggestive of acute pulmonary embolism.

Conclusion: Reports of acute pulmonary embolism developing after surgical fixation of bilateral upper extremity fractures are rare.

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.
