Return to sport after shoulder arthroplasty: The role of fast-track rehabilitation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty
This study evaluated and compared clinical outcomes and return-to-sport rates in TSA patients following standard rehabilitation protocol and RSA patients following fast rehabilitation protocol.
SLAP Tear of the Shoulder
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage rim that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. SLAP stands for "superior labrum anterior and posterior," meaning that the tear occurs at the front of the upper arm where the bicep tendon connects to the shoulder.1
How Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Affect the Shoulders?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is known for causing all-over inflammation and pain. It happens when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the synovium, the lining of the joints. RA can target the synovial lining of the shoulder joint.
Anatomic TSA, RSA may yield similar outcomes for cuff intact glenohumeral OA
Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty may yield similar outcomes in patients with rotator cuff intact glenohumeral osteoarthritis, according to results presented here.
Outcomes and challenges in the surgical treatment of trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations: A case series study
Transolecranon fracture-dislocations represent a complex subset of elbow injuries characterized by concomitant fractures of the olecranon, coronoid process, and radial head, often associated with posterior dislocation. These injuries pose significant surgical challenges due to their inherent instability and high risk of poor functional outcomes. Despite previous studies describing different fixation techniques, there is no standardized surgical protocol to optimize outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results of a structured surgical approach in the management of these injuries.
