We have developed a 12-item questionnaire for completion by patients presenting with shoulder instability. A prospective study of 92 patients was undertaken involving two assessments, approximately six months apart, performed in an outpatient department. Each patient completed the new questionnaire and the SF36 form. An orthopaedic surgeon completed the Constant shoulder score and the Rowe asse...

Abstract Background To assess responsiveness of five outcome measures at four different follow-ups in patients with SLAP II lesions the shoulder. Methods 119 symptoms and signs, MRI arthrography arthroscopic findings were included. The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), Oxford Score (OISS), EuroQol (EQ-5D3L), Rowe Constant-Murley (CMS) assessed baseline, 3, 6, 12 24 months. anal...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Glenoid reconstruction and inverted glenoid re-implantation is strongly advocated in revisions of failed reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Nevertheless, severe glenoid deficiency may preclude glenoid reconstruction and may dictate less favorable solutions, such as conversion to hemiarthropasty or resection arthropasty. The CAD/CAM shoulder (Stanmore Implants, Elstree, ...

We carried out a prospective study of 93 patients undergoing surgery for conditions of the rotator cuff during 1994 and 1995. They were assessed before operation and after six months, and four years, using the patient-based Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), the SF-36 questionnaire and the Constant shoulder score. The response rates were higher for the OSS and SF-36. The correlation coefficients were...

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 Recurrent instability following primary arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder is a common complication. Young, athletic patients are at the greatest risk of recurring instability. To date, the literature contains insufficient description regarding whether return to sports is possible after revision arthroscopic Bankart repair. Hypothesis Patients presenting with recurrent inst...

This study is aimed at the determination of the measurement properties of the shoulder function B-B Score measured with a smartphone. This score measures the symmetry between sides of a power-related metric for two selected movements, with 100% representing perfect symmetry. Twenty healthy participants, 20 patients with rotator cuff conditions, 23 with fractures, 22 with capsulitis, and 23 with...
