How Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Affect the Shoulders?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is known for causing all-over inflammation and pain. It happens when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the synovium, the lining of the joints. RA can target the synovial lining of the shoulder joint.
Anatomic TSA, RSA may yield similar outcomes for cuff intact glenohumeral OA
Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty may yield similar outcomes in patients with rotator cuff intact glenohumeral osteoarthritis, according to results presented here.
Outcomes and challenges in the surgical treatment of trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations: A case series study
Transolecranon fracture-dislocations represent a complex subset of elbow injuries characterized by concomitant fractures of the olecranon, coronoid process, and radial head, often associated with posterior dislocation. These injuries pose significant surgical challenges due to their inherent instability and high risk of poor functional outcomes. Despite previous studies describing different fixation techniques, there is no standardized surgical protocol to optimize outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results of a structured surgical approach in the management of these injuries.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Diagnosis, Nonsurgical Medical Care, and Rehabilitation: A Clinical Practice Guideline
This evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) aims to guide clinicians with recommendations covering the assessment, treatment, and prognosis of adults with shoulder pain with suspected rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, the nonsurgical medical care and rehabilitation of adults with RC tendinopathy, as well as the return to function and sport for elite and recreational athletes.
16 Causes of Armpit Pain: When You Need to Worry
Armpit pain can have many causes, ranging from injuries and irritants to infections that cause swollen lymph nodes. Less commonly, the pain—referred to as axillary pain—may be due to an autoimmune or arterial disease, nerve compression, and malignancies like breast cancer.
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.
Chronic Adaptations of the Shoulder in Baseball Pitchers: A Systematic Review
Understanding clinical and tissue adaptations to the throwing shoulder is important for optimizing injury prevention and rehabilitation programs in baseball players. The purpose of this study was to determine the chronic clinical (range of motion [ROM] and strength) and tissue adaptations of the throwing shoulder in baseball pitchers.
UCL repair with internal bracing may yield faster return to sport vs. Tommy John surgery
UCL repair with internal bracing yielded faster return to practice and faster return to competition vs. UCL reconstruction. Both UCL repair and reconstruction had high rates of return to sport.
How do you treat rotator-cuff tears?
Shoulder symptoms led to an average of 9.6 million physician visits in 2015 and 2016 in the United States. The most common cause of those shoulder symptoms? Rotator-cuff disorders. Nonoperative treatment, such as physical therapy, is the typical approach to treating rotator-cuff tears. However, surgery is considered in certain patients whose rotator-cuff tears don't resolve with nonoperative treatments.
