The ideal treatment for traumatic anterior dislocation
of the shoulder in the
Accurate measurement of the glenoid version is important in performing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Our aim was to evaluate the Ellipse method, which involves formally defining the vertical mid-point of the glenoid prior to measuring the glenoid version and comparing it with the ‘classic’ Friedman method. This was a retrospective study which evaluated 100 CT scans for patients who underwent a primary TSA. The glenoid version was measured using the Friedman and Ellipse methods by two senior observers. Statistical analyses were performed using the paired Aims
Methods
The aim of the study was to analyze the results of primary tendon
reinsertion in acute and chronic distal triceps tendon ruptures
(DTTRs) in the general population. A total of 28 patients were operated on for primary DTTR reinsertions,
including 21 male patients and seven female patients with a mean
age of 45 years (14 to 76). Of these patients, 23 sustained an acute
DTTR and five had a chronic injury. One patient had a non-simultaneous
bilateral DTTR. Seven patients had DTTR-associated ipsilateral fracture
or dislocation. Comorbidities were present in four patients. Surgical
treatment included transosseous and suture-anchors reinsertion in
22 and seven DTTRs, respectively. The clinical evaluation was performed
using Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), the modified American
Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (m-ASES), the Quick Disabilities
of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score (QuickDASH), and the Medical
Research Council (MRC) Scale.Aims
