Glenohumeral joint is the most frequently dislocated joint of the human body. Concomitant fractures of the coracoid process and tuberculum majus in humeral dislocation of the shoulder joint are rarely described. Concomitant fractures are results of a significant contraction of the surrounding muscles and rotator cuff during a cerebral paroxysm. Due to the small number of cases, the treatment of such injuries is not simple and it is based on an algorithm for treatment of isolated injuries of these anatomical structures. In this case report, we describe a concomitant fracture of the coracoid process and tuberculum majus during an anterior shoulder dislocation in 25-year-old patient after an epileptic seizure. The injury was treated in our department surgically, with a good functional result. The absolute Constant score for the operated arm is 95 points, the relative Constant score is 97%, DASH score 0, VAS score 0.

The trochlea for the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle: a review.
Anat Cell Biol
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Tulane Center for Clinical Neurosciences, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA, USA.
This review explores the novel perspective that the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle may function as an anatomical trochlear pulley system within the human body, challenging the traditional understanding of trochlear systems. While widely recognized trochlear units include structures like the medial part of the humerus and the superior oblique muscle of the orbit, the review focuses on the unique anatomical arrangement of the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle in connection with the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscles. Despite current debates within the anatomical community about labeling the digastric muscles as having a trochlea, this paper delves into the scientific definition of a trochlear pulley system, presenting the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle as a potential trochlea.

Introduction: Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are common and the most frequent pediatric fracture to require surgical intervention. After initial management, emergency department (ED) visits subsequent to this injury/surgery are not well characterized, but are of clinical interest.
Methods: Pediatric patients (age >1 y old and <13 y old) with supracondylar humerus fractures were identified from the 2010 to 2021 PearlDiver M157 administrative database.
A physiotherapeutic approach to a baby with right disgenesis of thumb and left agenesis of upper extremity: A case report.

Ida Orthopedics, Istanbul, Turkey.
A boy with bilateral congenital anomalies of the upper extremities with transverse absence of the left arm (agenesis) and absence of right thumb (disgenesis), fixed elbow in extension due to humeroradial synostosis thought that the humerus was intact. His wrist could move passively with 50° flexion, 0° extension, and 70° radial deviation. The other 4 fingers were intact, 4-5 metatarsal bones were in synostosis, and the fifth finger was clinodactyly.

Unlabelled: Subsequent fracture rates and associated mortality were compared before and after the introduction of fracture liaison service (FLS). In 100,198 women and men, FLS was associated with 13% and 10% lower risk of subsequent fragility fractures and 18% and 15% lower mortality. The study suggests that FLS may prevent fractures.

Background: Cognitive integration occurs when trainees make conceptual connections between relevant knowledges and is known to improve learning. While several experimental studies have demonstrated how text and audio-visual instruction can be designed to enhance cognitive integration, clinical skills training in real-world contexts may require alternative educational strategies. Introducing three-dimensional (3D) printed models during clinical skills instruction may offer unique learning opportunities to support cognitive integration.
