We explored the trends over time and the geographical
variation in the use of subacromial

Two cases are reported of the late diagnosis of compartment syndrome secondary to alcohol and drug overdose. Surgical
Thirty shoulders, in 20 patients, which had undergone core
In a prospective, consecutive study 93 patients who had had previous lumbar spinal surgery underwent repeat
We performed 41 core
We report the results of arthroscopic subacromial
We assessed the predictive value of the macroscopic and detailed microscopic appearance of the coracoacromial ligament, subacromial bursa and rotator-cuff tendon in 20 patients undergoing subacromial
We have studied the long-term results of core

Twenty-two patients with late onset Pott's paraplegia presenting at a mean of 18 years after initial symptoms were reviewed an average of seven years after treatment by anterior
Bone-marrow oedema syndrome (BMOS) of the hip gives a characteristic MRI pattern, in association with severe pain, non-specific focal loss of radiological density and a positive bone scan. In our MRI-controlled study, nine patients with non-traumatic BMOS in ten hips all had core
After having had a standard
Of a total of 905 patients with fracture or fracture-dislocation of the thoracolumbar spine admitted from 1969 to 1982, a neurological deficit was present in 334 (37%). All unstable injuries were initially treated by reduction and posterior fusion. In 79 of these patients, an anterolateral
Seventeen patients with pathological fractures of the thoracolumbar spine which had not responded to conservative treatment are reported. All had compression of the spinal cord and/or severe pain. All (except one treated by lateral rhachotomy) were treated by anterior
We reviewed 25 diabetic (mean age 68 years) and 25 non-diabetic patients (mean age 71 years) who had undergone
We have reviewed 54 hips in 46 patients from 2 to 14 years after a joint-preserving operation for idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The choice between core
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
A total of 39 HIV-infected adults with spinal tuberculosis underwent anterior spinal
