Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate functional outcome and complications with a long term followup (minimum of 2 years post-operative) in patients with mid-shaft clavicle fractures treated with precontoured lockingplates.Methods: We included 41 patients. Goniometric measurement of shoulder range of motion (ROM) was performed,as well as functional evaluation using the rating scale ...

Background: The treatment of distal clavicle fracture is always a challenge, as it is mostly unstable and has higherrate of delayed union, malunion, non-union and associated acromioclavicular arthritis. So the management of thesefractures remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional results of Type 2 distal endclavicle fractures treated with superior anterior l...

background:   to assess the outcome of the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method in patients with anterior shoulder dislocation associated with hill-sachs lesion.     methods:   ten patients with anterior shoulder dislocations and hill-sachs lesions were entered into this study and were operated on by the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method. they were followed up 22 months after surgery...

OBJECTIVE This study compares the effect of wrist immobilization with non-immobilization on shoulder abduction, shoulder flexion, and shoulder rotation during feeding. METHOD Twenty right-hand-dominant participants with no upper-extremity dysfunction performed a controlled feeding activity under 2 separate wrist conditions: (1) while wearing a static wrist orthosis and (2) with the wrist not ...

BACKGROUND Shoulder range of motion and pitch count in baseball pitchers have been linked to pitching-related upper extremity injury. PURPOSE To investigate upper extremity range of motion and pitching profiles in baseball pitchers in Japan as well as to make a comparison between injured and noninjured pitchers. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Forty-one L...

OBJECTIVE to present a retrospective analysis on the clinical-functional results and complications among patients with rotator cuff arthropathy (RCA) who underwent reverse arthroplasty of the shoulder. METHODS patients with a diagnosis of RCA associated with pseudoparalysis of anterior elevation who underwent reverse arthroplasty of the shoulder with a minimum follow-up of one year were selec...

BACKGROUND Adhesive capsulitis is a common disease that causes pain and reduced range of motion, but vague on the shoulder. Woman are affected fewer than men, but there is no known racial or genetic tendency. Most patients with adhesive capsulitis will improve with nonsurgical treatment. Acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief in patients without contraindication ...
