Internal rotation contracture is the most common shoulder deformity in patients with brachial plexus birth injury. The purpose of this investigation is to describe the indications, technique, and results of the subscapularis slide procedure. The technique involves the release of the subscapularis muscle origin off the scapula, with preservation of anterior shoulder structures. A standard postop...

HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that National Football League (NFL) players sustaining a shoulder destabilizing injury could return to play (RTP) successfully at a high rate regardless of treatment type. METHODS We identified and evaluated 83 NFL players who sustained an in-season shoulder instability event while playing in the NFL. NFL RTP, incidence of surgery, time to RTP, recurrent instability...

OBJECTIVES A lesion in the spinal accessory nerve is typically iatrogenic: related to lymph node biopsy or excision. This injury may cause paralysis of the trapezius muscle and thus result in a characteristic group of symptoms and signs, including depression and winging of the scapula, drooped shoulder, reduced shoulder abduction, and pain. The elements evaluated in this long-term follow-up stu...

IN CAR LATERAL impacts, the shoulder is directly exposed to injuries. These lesions are rarely fatal but produce long term impairments (Frampton, 1997). To develop protection devices, numerical tools such as finite element (FE) body models are used. If the first FE body models represented average males, geometrical personalization methods are now available (Besnault, 1998; Buhmann 2003) and all...

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a condition in the form of pain and stiffness that occurs shoulder, usually this complaint caused by relatively small injury but causes often occur are unclear. Physiological problems frozen hypomobility glenohumeral joint capsular pattern problems. The prevalence Indonesia general population reported to be around 2% with 11% diabetics. purpose study wa...

We investigated the potential use of EMG recordings from voluntary shoulder muscles in individuals with C5 spinal cord injury to automatically control the stimulation to paralyzed shoulder muscles in a taskappropriate manner. A musculoskeletal model of the human shoulder and elbow was used in simulation to train an artificial neural network (ANN) to automatically generate appropriate stimulatio...

A proximal humerus fracture typically occurs when an elderly woman falls directly onto her shoulder or on her outstretched arm. Local pain in the shoulder and immobility of the upper arm raise a suspicion of a significant injury. Other bone and tendon injuries in the shoulder region as well as dislocation of the shoulder should be considered on differential diagnosis. Diagnosis is achieved by p...

all surgical positions carry some degree of position-related risks. the most common serious positional injuries are peripheral nerve injuries. we present a case of 23 years old man with obturator nerve injury with clinically evident sequelae following a scapulopexy of the right shoulder in prone position. basis on our knowledge, no similar cases have been described in the literature. the purpos...

Posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder is uncommon, accounting for only 0.9% in a series of over 1500 shoulder injuries (Neer 1970). In that study, four of the eight cases of unilateral fracture-dislocation were caused by a seizure, and it is said that bilateral posterior fracturedislocation is virtually pathognomonic of a convulsive episode (Din and Meggitt 1983). There have been no pr...

BACKGROUND Restoration of shoulder function is a primary goal when treating patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury. A concomitant rotator cuff tear may alter the treatment approach and prognosis for these individuals. The purpose of this study was to define the prevalence of rotator cuff tears in patients with traumatic brachial plexus injuries. METHODS This is a retrospective review ...
