AI Article Synopsis

  • A 73-year-old woman experienced a scapular spine fracture after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and was treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
  • The treatment included a botulinum toxin injection in the deltoid muscle to reduce strain on the fracture site.
  • After three months, the fracture healed, and the patient showed excellent function with full recovery of the deltoid muscle over a year later.

Article Abstract

Six months after undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) a 73-year-old woman sustained a periprosthetic scapular spine fracture following a fall. She was treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), followed by botulinum toxin injection into the deltoid muscle to temporarily minimize strain at the fracture. Fracture union was achieved by 3 months, with excellent clinical function more than 1 year following fracture fixation and full resolution of deltoid function. Scapular spine fracture following RSA can be treated with ORIF and temporary deltoid paralysis using botulinum toxin in the immediate postoperative period to safely support fracture healing.

Introduction: To date, no investigations have been published regarding the concentration, dose, and technique for a mucosal spray application of botulinum toxin A (BTA) to alleviate hypersecretory symptoms of rhinitis in humans. It is a promising option for reducing common symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (AR) and idiopathic non-AR. It is safer and less painful than intranasal injections, with high reported satisfaction in reducing clinical symptoms.

From the Centre for Translational Medicine, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary (OZG, MV, MAE, LS, ZM, PH, TT); Department of Orthopaedics, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary (OZG, MV, TT); Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary (ZM); Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, Poznan University for Medical Sciences, Poznan, Poland (ZM); and Institute of Pancreatic Diseases, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary (PH).

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials aimed to summarize the reported functional effects of upper limb botulinum toxin treatment in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Design: Six databases were searched in October 2022. Two independent authors screened and extracted data on upper limb function, body function, life quality, muscle tone, spasticity, goals, pain, adverse events, and client satisfaction.

Recently, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) updated its guidance on cosmetic injectables advertising. The updates confirm that all direct or indirect advertising of cosmetic injectable products, including botulinum toxins or dermal fillers, is prohibited in Australia. While some commentators have lamented these updates, they present no changes to the law.

DaxibotulinumtoxinA Treatment for Laryngeal Respiratory Dystonia.

J Voice

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, UCSF Voice and Swallowing Center, UCSF School of Medicine, San Francisco, CA. Electronic address:

Background: Laryngeal respiratory dystonia (LRD) is diagnosed based on clinical presentation, patient history, and physical examination. Key indicators include dyspnea, desynchronized breathing patterns, and laryngoscopic findings that reveal vocal fold adduction during inspiration. Treatment for LRD remains controversial and often yields limited effectiveness.

This case series aimed to assess the treatment outcomes of onabotulinum toxin A (BTX-A) in patients with refractory posttraumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain (PTNP) and to conduct a narrative review of the evidence for BTX-A in PTNP. Thirteen patients were treated with BTX-A infiltrations. Patient demographic and pain characteristics, BTX-A administration, and treatment outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.
