Ladies and gentlemen, today as we begin the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists, I am truly excited by the fact that we are well beyond our 5year survival, and it is my hope that, as we increase in importance, this Society will be truly representative of our subspecialty. I do not have the vision to look into the future with prophesy and prediction: I do not wish to ...

Purpose: Reverse shoulder prosthesis is a method used after massive rotator cuff tears. It surgical to improve functions and cope with pain. Long-term results of physiotherapy programs applied surgery are insufficient. The aim this study investigate the long-term reverse both shoulders.
 Methods: A 66-year-old female patient tear on shoulders was included in study. After surgery, 40 sessio...

BACKGROUND Attenuation of the shoulder capsule has been noted during revision surgery for failed thermal capsulorrhaphy. HYPOTHESIS The attenuated capsule seen in patients who have undergone failed thermal capsulorrhaphy will show histologic characteristics distinguishing it from the capsule of normal shoulders and dislocating shoulders. STUDY DESIGN Case control study. METHODS The should...

Bilateral simultaneous anterior dislocation of the shoulders with bilateral 3-part fracture of the proximal humeri is unusual. A 42-year-old man presented with pain and restriction of movement on both shoulders. He was injured by a heavy object falling over his back while he was leaning forward holding an overhead bar. His arms were abducted and externally rotated. The injury was not correctly ...

Specialized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 42 painful shoulder arthroplasties, 22 of which underwent subsequent revision surgery, allowing surgical confirmation of the pathology identified on MRI. One hemiarthroplasty was excluded because of motion artifact, leaving 21 studies (19 patients) to be correlated retrospectively to the surgical findings. At the time of revision sur...

Failure of shoulder arthroplasty is often defined as a complication or the need for revision, but it may also be viewed as a result that does not meet the expectations of the patient. To enhance our understanding of failed shoulder arthroplasties, we identified the characteristics common to a series of 139 consecutive patients who came to our shoulder consultation service because of dissatisfac...

BACKGROUND Sprengel deformity is a congenital failure of descent of the scapula. Limited shoulder abduction and cosmetic appearance are the major concerns. Although the Woodward procedure reportedly affords satisfactory correction, the long-term functional outcome postoperatively has not been addressed. METHODS Eight patients (9 shoulders) who underwent the Woodward procedure for Sprengel def...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of abnormal shoulder ultrasonographic findings in a sample of asymptomatic women. [Subjects and Methods] A secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study was performed. We recruited 305 women (aged 18-56 years). All the subjects had a structured interview screening for self-reported symptoms and underwent a shoulder ultrasonographic ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the functional and clinical outcomes and identify prognostic factors in patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of isolated tears of the subscapularis tendon. METHODS Between January 2003 and May 2009, we identified 18 shoulders with isolated tears or deinsertions that were complete or affected at least one third of the subscapularis tendon and underwent arthroscopic rep...

AIMS To explore and compare the prevalence after eight years of self reported musculoskeletal symptoms and general health (SF-36) for groups with initially different degrees of severity of symptoms in the neck/shoulders and/or arms. METHODS A case-control study was performed in 1989 comprising 129 clinically examined cases and 655 survey controls. The study population was followed up in 1997 ...
