This is a case report of a fifty-nine-year-old rheumatoid arthritic woman who developed lack in finger extension bilaterally. These deficits had two completely different aetiologies, Posterior Interosseous Nerve (PIN) Syndrome and extensor tendon rupture. No previous report in the literature has used elbow arthrography as a diagnostic tool in a patient with PIN Syndrome. Elbow arthrography confirmed the abnormality at this joint and aided in appropriate management.

Purpose: To compare the survival rate (revision surgery) and clinical and radiologic outcomes of arthroscopic partial versus complete repair for large to massive rotator cuff tears over a minimum 10-year follow-up period.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent arthroscopic partial or complete repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears between 2008 and 2013, with minimum 10-year follow-up. Functional outcomes were measured using the visual analog scale pain score, Subjective Shoulder Value, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, University of California, Los Angeles shoulder score, and passive range of motion preoperatively and at the last follow-up.

Closed Intramedullary Pinning of Displaced Radial Neck Fracture (Metaizeau Technique).

Background: Radial neck fractures account for 1% of all pediatric fractures and 5% to 10% of pediatric elbow fractures. The mechanism of injury is typically a fall with the elbow in hyperextension and the forearm in supination. A valgus force compresses the radial head against the capitellum, causing a radial neck fracture.

Background/objectives: We previously reported that traction magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the elbow without arthrography increases the width of the radiocapitellar joint (RC) and improves articular cartilage visibility. However, the effects of axial traction on different age groups have not yet been evaluated. We hypothesized that the effect of traction would decrease as the participants' age increased.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of a method combining arthrography with closed reduction and elastic nail fixation for treating radial neck fractures in children.
  • 23 children aged 2 to 12 were analyzed using this technique, comparing results to a control group of 23 children treated without arthrography.
  • Results showed significant improvements in both operative time and fracture reduction outcomes for the arthrography group, suggesting it may be a more efficient and effective treatment option.
  • The findings are based on follow-ups ranging from 12 to 24 months, highlighting the potential benefits of this approach in pediatric orthopedic care.

Background: Standardized consensus-based radiological reports for shoulder instability may improve clinical quality, reduce heterogeneity, and reduce workload. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine important elements for the x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) arthrography (MRA), and computed tomography (CT) report, the extent of variability, and important MRI views and settings.

Methods: An expert panel of musculoskeletal radiologists and orthopedic surgeons was recruited in a three-round Delphi design.
