Introduction. Ulnar nerve entrapment is the second most common nerve entrapment syndrome of the upper extremity. Despite this, only a few studies have assessed the outcome of ulnar nerve
Aims. The aim of this study was to determine whether early surgical treatment results in better neurological recovery 12 months after injury than late surgical treatment in patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Methods. Patients with tSCI requiring surgical spinal
Aims. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells obtained from bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has been used as an adjuvant to hip
Aims. Surgical approaches to cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) remain controversial. The purpose of the present study was to analyze and compare the long-term neurological recovery following anterior
Aims. The aims of this study were to compare the use of resources, costs, and quality of life outcomes associated with subacromial

Introduction. Cubital Tunnel syndrome is common affecting 1 in 4000 people. The cubital tunnel serves as major constraint for the ulna nerve. Cubital tunnel
Introduction. MRI imaging is carried out to identify levels of degenerative disc disease, and in some cases to identify a definite surgical target at which
Introduction. Chronic Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury. There are several modalities of treatment, reflecting difficulties in its management. In particular, due to the well-recognised morbidity associated with surgical
We obtained approval from the local research and ethics committee and prospectively evaluated the incidence of Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in arthroscopic shoulder sub acromial
Objectives . The effects of disease progression and common tendinopathy treatments
on the tissue characteristics of human rotator cuff tendons have
not previously been evaluated in detail owing to a lack of suitable
sampling techniques. This study evaluated the structural characteristics
of torn human supraspinatus tendons across the full disease spectrum,
and the short-term effects of subacromial corticosteroid injections
(SCIs) and subacromial
Purpose of study. This RCT is to determine whether or not there is a clinical benefit from inserting a dynamic stabilising implant such as the Wallis ligament on the functional recovery of patients who have undergone lumbar
Background. Foraminal stenosis is often encountered in patients undergoing
Background. Several orthopaedic studies have found significant correlation between pre-operative psychological status and post-operative outcomes. The majority of research has focused on patients requiring lower limb and spine surgery. Few studies have investigated the effect of psychological status on the outcome of upper limb operations. We prospectively investigated the association between pre-operative psychological status and early postoperative shoulder pain and function in patients requiring arthroscopic subacromial
Health Economists in Denmark have recently reported low and delayed return to work for patients treated for Sub-Acromial Impingement syndrome (SAIS) by Arthroscopic Sub-Acromial Decompression (ASAD). Surgeons however are reporting that patients achieve good pain relief and a high standard of activities of daily living (ADL) after surgery. To evaluate the effectiveness of ASAD for patients with SAIS and correlate clinical outcome with rate of return to work.Introduction
