Subscapularis tendon interposition after anterior shoulder dislocation and reduction

Unreduced Posterior Dislocation of the Shoulder Treated by Open Reduction and Transposition of the Subscapularis Tendon.

A man of thirty-two injured his left shoulder while playing rugby. The shoulder was examined and was thought to be dislocated and reduction was attempted. He was later seen at a local hospital and an antero posterior radiograph was passed as normal. The shoulder was immobilised in a sling and he returned to the care of his own doctor. After only ten days in the sling he was allowed to move the ...

Reduction of anterior dislocation of the shoulder.

Shoulder kinesthesia after anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation.

The purpose of this study was to examine kinesthesia in normal (uninjured) shoulders and in shoulders with a history of glenohumeral joint dislocations. Both shoulders of 10 healthy subjects and 8 subjects with a history of unilateral anterior dislocation were tested for accuracy of angular reproduction, threshold to sensation of movement, and end-range reproduction using a motor-driven shoulde...

Subscapularis insufficiency and the risk of shoulder dislocation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

HYPOTHESIS Dislocation is the most common serious complication after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. One theorized cause is subscapularis insufficiency because the tendon cannot be repaired at the time of surgery. There are no documented risk assessments of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty dislocation related to this cause. The study objective was to quantify the risk of postoperative disloca...

Anterior Shoulder Dislocation and Ipsilateral Humeral Shaft Fracture

Simultaneous dislocation of shoulder and humeral shaft fracture is a rare injury, and there is no clear protocol for its treatment. Herein we present a case of a 15-year-old boy, who suffered from a job-related accident and sustained fracture of humeral shaft associated with ipsilateral anterior shoulder dislocation and fracture of greater tuberosity 15 years ago. He received closed reduction o...
