i f l p j s t hondrolysis of the glenohumeral joint has been reorted to occur after the use of thermal energy, bioaborbable intraarticular implants, intraarticular infusion of upivacaine, and intraarticular injection of gentian vioet dye, as well as after otherwise uncomplicated cases f shoulder arthroscopy during which no such etiologic actors can be identified. Chondrolysis can esult in devas...

Breast augmentation surgery has been the most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States since 2006, accounting for 290,000 cases in 2013 [1]. Unfortunately, complications from the procedure can result in a reoperation rate approaching 15.5%. Complications after breast augmentation include capsular contracture, size change, malposition, waviness, deflation, infection, ruptured gel, palpabili...

Rare occurrence and often misdiagnosed clinically ,we report a case of 42 year old male patient with very unusual diagnosis of superolateral dislocation of intact mandibular condyle bilaterally following traumatic insult to the mandible. Diffuse edema in the chin area and a left lateral deflection of the mandible, including an open bite and a crepitation in the Right parasymphyseal region. Thre...

Successful arthroscopic treatment of multidirectional shoulder instability requires that the surgeon reduce the volume of the capsule. This goal can be achieved by using the extracapsular plication technique. There are several advantages to using pancapsular plication and an intra-articular knot. Much better potential for capsular healing exists when the outer layer of the capsule, which is com...

The purpose of the current study was to create a multidirectional glenohumeral instability model and compare anterior capsulolabral reconstruction with inferior capsular shift with respect to their effects on glenohumeral translation and rotational range of motion. Ten fresh frozen cadaveric shoulders were used with a custom shoulder translation testing jig. To create the multidirectional insta...

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency-generating energy devices have been used clinically in musculoskeletal procedures to provide hemostasis and capsular shrinkage (thermal capsulorrhaphy). However, the dose-effects are not well known. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore determined dosage effects of radiofrequency energy on bone, skin incisions, and joint capsule in sheep. METHODS Five mature sheep had si...

Thirteen patients were operated on for hand palsies in cases of C7 to T1 or C8, T1 root avulsions. Finger flexion and intrinsic function were paralyzed in all patients. Finger extension was paralyzed in 12 patients. Wrist flexion and extension were present in all patients. Tendon transfers were performed to restore the different functions. The extensor carpi radialis longus was transferred to t...

The role of radiofrequency energy (RFE) devices has been minimally studied in hip arthroscopy. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of RFE devices in hip arthroscopy through a systematic review of the literature. We searched the PubMed database using the following Medical Subject Heading terms: hip arthroscopy, hip radiofrequency, thermal capsulorrhaphy, thermal chondroplasty and...

Congenital knee dislocation is a rare anomaly associated with a variety of neuromuscular diseases and deformities. The etiology of this condition remains unclear, but it is usually associated with a variety of disorders, such as Larsen's syndrome, arthrogryposis, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Down syndrome, and Streeter's dysplasia. It is rarely an isolated entity, and 6...
