Ultrasound is a fast, accessible, reliable, and radiation-free imaging modality routinely used to assess the soft tissues around shoulder. It enables identify wide range of pathological conditions. Furthermore, most ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal interventional procedures shoulder produce better results in terms accuracy clinical efficacy than those performed blinded fashion. Indeed, intra-a...

Introduction Ultrasound (USS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been used as screening tools for rotator cuff tears with MRI reported superior. When comparing USS supraspinatus tears, less data is available. Aim Compare the diagnostic sensitivity of in pre-operative diagnosis partial thickness (PTT) full (FTT) tendons compared to gold-standard shoulder arthroscopy assess if differences ...

BACKGROUND Chondrolysis has been reported as a sequela of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Although the causes have yet to be fully elucidated, basic science and clinical evidence suggest a multifactorial origin. Surgical treatment in young patients with glenohumeral chondrolysis is particularly challenging, with little outcome data. HYPOTHESIS Glenohumeral chondrolysis has several causes and p...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine if capsular repair used in conjunction with the Latarjet procedure results in significant alterations in glenohumeral rotational range of motion and translation. METHODS Glenohumeral rotational range of motion and translation were measured in eight cadaveric shoulders in 90° of abduction in both the scapular and coronal planes under the fo...

CONTEXT Little is known about the relationship among sex, generalized joint hypermobility, and glenohumeral joint instability. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship among sex, generalized joint hypermobility scores, and a history of glenohumeral joint instability within a young, physically active cohort and to describe the incidence of generalized joint hypermobility within this population. ...

BACKGROUND Alterations in glenohumeral range of motion, including increased posterior shoulder tightness and glenohumeral internal rotation deficit that exceeds the accompanying external rotation gain, are suggested contributors to throwing-related shoulder injuries such as pathologic internal impingement. Yet these contributors have not been identified in throwers with internal impingement. ...

Bilateral anterior glenohumeral dislocation is a rare occurrence. We present a case of bilateral anterior glenohumeral dislocation caused by a fall. The interest in publishing this case is that this is a clinical rarity with few cases reported in the literature. An 89-year-old female patient was brought to the emergency department after a fall, complaining of intense pain in both shoulders and ...

Rotator cuff injury (RCI) is a major musculoskeletal disorder in the adult population where inflammation and pain are major contributing factors. Coincidence of other clinical conditions like glenohumeral arthritis aggravates inflammation and delays the healing response. The mechanism and signaling factors underlying the sustenance of inflammation in the rotator cuff joint are largely unknown. ...

A cute traumatic posterior glenohumeral dislocations are rare; they are typically caused by high-velocity trauma, epileptic seizures, or electrocution. Anterior impression fractures of the humeral head (reverse Hill-Sachs defect) occur in over 80% of individuals following a posterior dislocation of the shoulder. The size of reverse Hill-Sachs defects varies and has been reported to be as large ...

BACKGROUND Presently, there are no approved nonoperative therapies for the ongoing treatment of persistent shoulder pain. Preliminary data suggest that intra-articular sodium hyaluronate injections may be beneficial for the treatment of persistent shoulder pain resulting from various etiologies. The present study evaluated the efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate (Hyalgan; molecular weight...
