Background: The current study aimed to determine the changes in pre-and post-operative Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) and Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) values ​​according to the Hamada classification in patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA).

Methods: One hundred and eight patients who underwent RSA for RCTA were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups with low grade (stages 1-2-3) (n = 49) and high grade (stages 4a-4b-5) (n = 59) according to the Hamada classification, which is the radiographic evaluation of RCTA.

Case Presentation: We present an unusual case involving a 10-year-old Chinese child diagnosed with calcified cervical disc herniation and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a chronic, benign, and usually self-limiting cutaneous inflammatory disease, typically characterized by small, localized, skin-coloured papules that are usually asymptomatic or mildly pruriginous. Its aetiopathogenesis is still unknown and treatments are rarely effective. Generally, 50-70% of localized GA cases are self-limiting and show spontaneous resolution after 1-2 years, whereas disseminated GA is less likely to disappear without treatment.

Severe, acute pain constitutes the most important clinical symptom in patients affected by these diseases. Pain along with redness, warmness, swelling, and stiffness in the affected joint arises abruptly in gout and disappears when the acute phase of the attack resolves.
