Paget-Schroetter Syndrome in a Patient With Posterior Shoulder Subluxation: A Case Report.

Paget-Schroetter syndrome describes a primary thrombosis of the subclavian vein induced by effort. In most cases, the clinical presentation includes painful swelling, discoloration, and visible collateral circulation in the arm. Paget-Schroetter syndrome is treated with anticoagulation, rest, and physical therapy.

Anterior-posterior view by full-body digital X-ray to rule out severe spinal injuries in Polytraumatized patients.

Background: Spinal injuries are present in 16-31% of polytraumatized patients. Rapid identification of spinal injuries requiring immobilization or operative treatment is essential. The Lodox-Statscan (LS) has evolved into a promising time-saving diagnostic tool to diagnose life-threatening injuries with an anterior-posterior (AP)-full-body digital X-ray.

Tuberculous sacroiliitis with secondary psoas abscess in an older patient: a case report.

Background: Tuberculosis is the leading infectious cause of death worldwide. Among native Swiss people, tuberculosis is more common in older people than in younger people. Approximately 25-30% of reported cases of tuberculosis are purely extrapulmonary; skeletal tuberculosis is reported in 3-5% of cases.

Temporary liver and stomach necrosis after lateral approach for interbody fusion and deformity correction of lumbar spine: report of two cases and review of the literature.

Introduction: Corrections of spinal deformities have been associated with a potential of postoperative vessel-originating complications. Reports of occlusions of celiac artery seem though to be very rare.

Case Reports: We present two cases that developed acute arterial supply impairment and subsequent liver and gastric necrosis due to an occlusion of celiac artery, after a spine deformity correction.

Outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in large tears: the exposed footprint.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical results of arthroscopic single-row repair in large rotator cuff tears. Selection was based on the extent of the "exposed footprint" (EFP) obtained by adding up the width of the subscapularis tear and the width of the supra/infraspinatus tear. Three groups were studied: Type I had an EFP of less than 5 cm; Type II had an EFP of 5 cm or more; tears allowing only partial repair were studied separately.

A comparative clinical evaluation of arthroscopic single-row versus double-row supraspinatus tendon repair.

Cadaveric studies and commercial pressure have initiated a strong trend towards double-row repair in arthroscopic cuff surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the biomechanical advantages of a double-row supraspinatus tendon repair would result in superior clinical outcome and higher abduction strength. A retrospective study of two groups of 32 single-row and 33 double-row repairs of small to medium cuff tears was performed.
