Background: The placement of clavicle tunnels in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction is well established, but the optimal position of the coracoid tunnel remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how the coracoid tunnel's position affects horizontal stability during coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using a double-button technique.

Methods: Fifteen fresh frozen shoulder cadaver specimens were tested under various conditions: intact coracoclavicular ligaments, disrupted ligaments, and reconstructions with a single coracoid and clavicle tunnel or double clavicle tunnels.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the safety and accessibility of direct posterior arthroscopy portals in the knee using cadaveric specimens.
  • Of 95 formalin-embalmed and 9 fresh-frozen knees tested, the risk of neurovascular damage was found to be 9.6%, primarily associated with the lateral cannula.
  • While the medial portal was generally safe, the lateral portal posed significant risks, particularly affecting the common fibular nerve, making its use not recommended at this time.

Article Synopsis
  • This study systematically reviewed and analyzed both randomized and observational studies to compare conservative and surgical treatments for displaced proximal humerus fractures from 2000 to 2022.
  • Analysis showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes or range of motion between the two treatment methods, but the conservative treatment had significantly lower complication rates.
  • The overall quality of the evidence was low due to a high risk of bias, indicating that the findings should be interpreted with caution.
