The effects of breathing on body roll have been previously investigated for the roll of the whole trunk only. The purposes of this study were: to calculate separately the shoulder roll (SR) and hip roll (HR) of swimmers during front crawl for non-breathing and preferred-side breathing conditions; to assess the differences in the magnitude and temporal characteristics of these variables between ...

BACKGROUND Although increased retroversion of the glenoid has been shown to be an important factor in posterior instability of the shoulder, there are few studies reporting glenoid bone structure as a risk factor in anterior dislocation of the shoulder. This study aimed to compare glenoid version in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder and individuals in a control group with no sh...

BACKGROUND Inferior shoulder dislocation, also referred to as luxatio erecta, is a rare type of shoulder dislocation. Its incidence is about 1 in 200 (0.5%) among all shoulder dislocations. The objective of this study was to review six cases of inferior shoulder dislocation, including their clinical and radiological presentation, management, and final outcome. METHODS Four males and two femal...

To the Editor: Chronic bilateral shoulder dislocation (an unreduced dislocated shoulder beyond 3 weeks) is rare.1-3 A 35-year-old man presented with bilateral anterior dislocation of the shoulder (BADS) with bilateral brachial plexus injuries following a nightmare. He had been undiagnosed for 2 years because he felt the problem was spiritual and had sought unorthodox treatment. He had repeated ...

BACKGROUND Glenoid bone damages consisting of anterior rim erosion and bony avulsion are very important in decision making for treatment of recurrent dislocation in shoulder joint. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of these damages in patients with anterior recurrent shoulder dislocation. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional study evaluating patients with unstable shoulder j...

introduction: performance of painful diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is common in emergency department (ed), and procedural sedation and analgesia (psa) is a fundamental skill for every emergency physician. this studywas aim to compare the efficacy of remifentanil with fentanyl/midazolam in painless reduction of anterior shoulder dislocation. methods: in this randomized, double blind, cli...

background:  the glenohumeral joint becomes dislocated more than any other major joint because it maintains a wide range of motion and its stability is inherently weak. the most common complication following acute initial shoulder dislocation is recurrent dislocation or chronic instability. imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...

BACKGROUND Untreated chronic shoulder dislocation eventually leads to functional disability and pain. Open reduction with different fixation methods have been introduced for most chronic shoulder dislocation. We hypothesized that open reduction and simultaneous Bankart lesion repair in chronic anterior shoulder dislocation obviates the need for joint fixation and leads to better results than pr...

OBJECTIVE This cohort study evaluates the unknown age-specific and gender-specific incidence of primary shoulder dislocations in the UK. SETTING UK primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) were used to identify patients aged 16-70 years with a shoulder dislocation during 1995-2015. Coding of primary shoulder dislocations was validated using the CPRD general practi...

INTRODUCTION Neglected bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is a very rare condition, often related to seizures or major trauma. Open reduction is recommended whenever Hill-Sachs lesion is >25% of the joint and the dislocation is elder than 3 weeks. CASE REPORT We describe a case report of a 28-year-old man left handed Jehovah's Witness laborer assessed 12 weeks after bilateral anterior sh...
