Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case–control study
Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular treatment, its efficacy in patients with failed rotator cuff repair (ARCR) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical results of RSA for following failed ARCR. We hypothesized that RSA after failed ARCR would lead to improved clinical outcomes comparable to those of RSA performed without prior surgeries.
How tennis takes a toll: The leg and foot injuries players need to watch out for
Tennis demands explosive movement like lunges, pivots, sprints and sudden stops. Every serve starts with a push from the toes. Every rally shifts weight between the heel and forefoot. Unlike sports with linear movement, like sprinting, tennis places constant multi-directional stress on the feet and ankles—two of the most frequently injured body parts in the game.
Robotic-assisted THA may reduce opioid requirements vs. manual, computer-assisted THA
Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty may be associated with reduced opioid consumption during postoperative hospitalization vs. both manual and computer-assisted total hip arthroplasty, according to presented results.
10 types of exercise to try with arthritis of the knee
Exercises for knee arthritis, such as leg lifts, can strengthen the muscles around the knee joint and help a person stay active. Swimming and elliptical training are also suitable options.
Over-the-top triangular fibrocartilage complex repair may be viable option for instability
The triangular fibrocartilage complex is a critical structure in the wrist that provides stability to the distal radioulnar joint. Injury to the foveal attachment of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) at the distal ulnar head often disrupts the deep fibers of the dorsal and volar radioulnar ligaments, leading to pain with or without distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability. This article describes the arthroscopic inside-out transosseous or "over-the-top" technique to repair the TFCC and presents a case example of this method.
