Article Abstract
Shoulder dysfunction is one of the most common complications seen in patients who have undergone neck dissection surgery. The prevalence of shoulder dysfunction increases depending on the type and extent of neck dissection surgery. We aim to study the relationship between changes in intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) threshold during SAN stimulation, ultrasonographic measurement of muscle size and shear wave elastography with shoulder dysfunction. This is a prospective study. All patients who have undergone neck dissection in our centre have been recruited. Analysis of demographic data, IONM threshold during exposure and pre-closure, shoulder function score, neck disability index score (NDII) and ultrasonographic parameters pre-op and during follow up was done. The cohort was divided into patients who suffered from shoulder dysfunction post op (Group A) and patients with normal shoulder function post op (Group B). Statistical significance were seen in IONM threshold during SAN stimulation and Constant shoulder score for 6 months follow up in Group A. IONM threshold difference during exposure and pre-closure could effectively prognosticate shoulder dysfunction post op. A return of shoulder function could be seen in patients who suffered from shoulder dysfunction if early physiotherapy could be commenced.

The Effect of Early Scapular Training on Shoulder Joint Function after Surgery for Rotator Cuff Injuries: A Retrospective Study.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
The Second Ward of Trauma Orthopedics, Yantaishan Hospital, 264003 Yantai, Shandong, China.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the impact of early scapular rehabilitation training in patients after rotator cuff injury. Furthermore, it sought to analyze the application of this approach in promoting surgical site healing and enhancing shoulder joint function recovery.
Methods: This retrospective study obtained the clinical data from 74 patients who underwent rotator cuff repair between July 2022 and June 2024.
Application of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy with preservation of laryngeal function.

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, No.25, Taiping Street, Jiangyang District, Luzhou, 646000, China.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.
Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.

Department for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Schulthess Clinic, Zürich, Switzerland.
Objective: The establishment of clinical registries is essential for the comprehensive evaluation of surgical outcomes. In 2006, the Schulthess Shoulder Arthroplasty Registry (SAR) was launched to systematically assess safety, implant longevity, functional outcomes, pain levels, quality of life, and patient satisfaction in individuals undergoing shoulder arthroplasty. This paper aims to outline the registry data and demonstrate how it is leveraged to improve clinical outcomes.

Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Introduction: Shoulder pain represents a common patient complaint evaluated in a primary care setting. Approximately two thirds of these patients have rotator cuff injuries, with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) accounting for a majority of causes. An accurate and efficient diagnostic strategy focused on physical examination findings may lead to improved outcomes and less functional disability.

From the Department of Psychology, Université de Montréal (Proulx-Bégin, Brazeau); Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal (CIUSSS du Nord de-l'Île-de-Montréal) (Proulx-Bégin, Jodoin, Brazeau, Babiloni, Provost, Rouleau, Arbour, De Beaumont); Division of Experimental Medicine, McGill University (Herrero Babiloni); Faculty of Nursing, Université de Montréal (Arbour); and Department of Surgery, Université de Montréal (Rouleau, De Beaumont), Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Objective: In a recent sham-controlled 13-session prolonged continuous theta burst stimulation intervention protocol, recovery from upper limb fracture at both 1 and 3 months was better than anticipated in patients assigned to the sham intervention group. To determine whether potential placebo effect and close patient monitoring affected recovery, the current study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between sham-treated participants who also received standard care with similarly injured patients who only received standard care.
Methods: Twenty participants with isolated upper limb fractures from the sham group were seen 13 times post-fracture (1 baseline session, 10 treatments, and 2 follow-ups [1 and 3 months]) over 3 months.
