  • Free bone graft transfer may yield similar outcomes as Latarjet for shoulder instability

    According to published results, free bone graft transfer and the Latarjet procedure demonstrated clinically similar outcomes for patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss at 5 years. Results showed the techniques had similar rates of successful stabilization. However, neither technique prevented the progression of instability arthropathy.

  • Surgical Management of Elbow Heterotopic Ossification: Postoperative Outcomes With and Without Continuous Passive Motion Rehabilitation

    Continuous passive motion (CPM) has been an accepted method of orthopedic postoperative rehabilitation for decades. However, its efficacy remains disputed and there is a paucity of literature looking at the impact of CPM after operative management of elbow heterotopic ossification (HO). This retrospective study aims to compare long-term clinical outcomes after surgical excision of elbow HO between patients with and without postoperative CPM.

  • Evaluating the efficacy of hinged elbow braces in reducing passive valgus forces after ulnar collateral ligament injury - A biomechanical study

    This biomechanical study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a hinged elbow orthosis in reducing passive valgus forces following medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries of the elbow joint. The hypothesis tested was that a hinged elbow orthosis reduces these passive valgus forces.

  • Analysis of the therapeutic efficacy of arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon combined with coracoplasty

    The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of arthroscopic subscapularis tendon repair combined with coracoplasty in the treatment. The study involved 80 patients (46 males, 34 females; aged 33 to 73 years), who underwent arthroscopic repair for subscapularis tears (type I, II, and III) presenting symptoms of anterior shoulder pain and tenderness.
