Does arthroscopic sub-acromial decompression really work for sub-acromial impingement syndrome: a cohort study

BACKGROUND Health Economists in Denmark have reported poor outcomes and low and delayed return to work for patients treated for Sub-Acromial Impingement syndrome (SAIS) by Arthroscopic Sub-Acromial Decompression (ASAD). In this setting it is important to evaluate outcomes following this commonly performed operation to justify undertaking it on our patients. The purpose of the study was to evalu...

Anterior acromial anatomy: Relevance to arthroscopic acromioplasty.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of arthroscopic acromioplasty on the anterior deltoid origin. TYPE OF STUDY In vitro cadaveric histologic study. METHODS We performed a histologic evaluation of the anterior aspect of 15 acromions, the parameters of the anatomy of the anterior acromion, including the deltoid origin, and the morphology of the acromion. A simulated arthroscopic acromioplasty was...

Contributing factors in children who present with calcaneal apophysitis

Methods This study was a cross-sectional study with comparison to normative data. 124 children (males = 72, mean age 10.88 + 1.48 years) with a clinical diagnosis of calcaneal apophysitis were recruited. Normative data was used from Australian and International publications. The baseline measures recorded were: height; weight; waist circumference; BMI; foot posture; and ankle joint range of mot...

Apophysitis of the Tibial Tuberosity (Osgood-Schlatter Disease): A Review

Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a condition in which the patellar tendon insertion on the tibial tuberosity becomes inflamed. It is a well-known condition in late childhood characterized by pain and a bony prominence over the tibial tuberosity. The pain is usually exacerbated by physical activities like running, jumping, and climbing stairs. In the acute stage, the margins of the patellar ten...
