BACKGROUND Long-term outcomes of major upper extremity replantations are infrequently reported. It is believed that replantation is indicated for amputations at all levels in children and for all distal amputations in adults. Replantations of arm or proximal forearm amputations in adults are controversial. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of major upper extremity replantations, defined as th...

DESIGN Randomised, controlled trial with concealed allocation and blinded outcome assessment. SETTING University hospital in Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Patients aged 30 to 65 years with subacromial impingement syndrome of at least 6 months duration, and ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate patient related outcome and shoulder stability following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in patients with glenoid rim fractures. After a median follow-up of four years, 14 patients completed the Rowe Shoulder Stability Score and Quick DASH questionnaire. The median Rowe score was 90 (Q1: 88, Q3: 100). Results were graded excellent in 11 patients...

BACKGROUND The Oxford Shoulder Instability Score (OSIS) is a short, self-reported outcome measurement for patients with shoulder instability. In this study, the OSIS was validated in Dutch by testing the internal consistency, reliability, measurement error, validity and the floor and ceiling effects, and its smallest detectable change (SDC) was calculated. METHODS A total of 138 patients were...
