[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...

We studied the stability of cemented all-polyethylene keeled glenoid components by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) in 16 shoulders which had received a total shoulder replacement. There were 14 women (one bilateral) and one man with a mean age of 64 years. The diagnosis was osteoarthritis in eight and rheumatoid arthritis in seven. Two of the shoulders were excluded from the RSA study because ...

Abstract Gynecologic oncology is considered a new field, but its roots are buried deep in the past. As with other tumors, earliest progress modern times started anesthesia and surgery. This was followed by landmark achievements pathology, cytology, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, tumor virology, generation of high-quality evidence, and, more recently, genetics genomics. Some most notable progresses...

Bilateral dislocation of the shoulder is rare, and almost always occurs posteriorly. Such dislocations have been associated with epileptic seizures,1'3 electrocution, sporting injuries,4 trauma and connective tissues diseases. However, there are even fewer documented bilateral anterior dislocations of the shoulders in the literature. We report an unusual case of bilateral anterior dislocation o...
