: Multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder is characterized by generalized capsular laxity and symptomatic in more than one direction with as inferior. Generalized ligamentous specifically laxity, has been associated female athletes. While males are at a higher risk due to number extrinsic factors including participation contact/collision activities, females particularly susceptible M...

Background: The acromion clavicular joint dislocations are common injuries of the shoulder. The severity is dependentupon the degree of ligamentous injury. Surgical treatment is typically performed in higher grade acromioclavicularseparation with several static and dynamic operative procedures with or without primary ligament replacement.Methods: 47 patients with acute Rockwood type III, IV, an...

BACKGROUND Joint pain is thought to be an early sign of injury to a pitcher. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between pitch counts, pitch types, and pitching mechanics and shoulder and elbow pain in young pitchers. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study.

The shoulder as the most mobile joint in the body has a complex anatomy providing it with an increased range of motion, at the expense of its stability. The complex of ligaments and tendons around the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) is prone to injury especially during sporting activity or following falls onto the apex of the shoulder. The original classification of ACJ dislocations having been m...

We rarely encounter isolated ruptures of the supraspinatus muscle. At the Clinic of Orthopedics at the Faculty Hospital in Olomouc, we encountered only 21 cases out of 385 arthroscopic operation cases from October 1998 to October 2003. The patients were examined by USG, 5 patients were examined arthrographically and 3 patients underwent MRI examination. Of these 21 patients, only 3 were operate...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 4-weeks rehabilitation, electrotherapy and kinesiotherapy programs on range of motion shoulder pain in men with idiopathic frozen shoulder. methods & materials: this was a semi experimental study on 18 patient (means±sd age 56.4±6.7 year, height 175.1±5.3 cm, weight 73.1±7.5 kg, history patient 9.2±5.1 month) who referred to...

Medial scapular winging is often due to dysfunction of the serratus anterior muscle as a result of injury to the long thoracic nerve. Impairment of the serratus anterior muscle may cause uncoordinated scapulohumeral rhythm during shoulder elevation and subsequent subscapular or shoulder pain, subacromial impingement, and glenohumeral joint instability. Although long thoracic nerve injury typica...

Objective: A comparison of the difference between two types field MR scan in diagnosis shoulder joint injury. Method: Randomly selected 153 patients with arthroscopic or open arthroplasty who had pain dysfunction treated our hospital from 2014 to 2017 were divided into 1.5 T group and 3.0 according strength MRI examination. Postoperative pathology was a gold standard. The sensitivity, specifici...
