conclusions bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is rare. it could be undiagnosed, especially when there is no clear history of major trauma. by awareness of such unusual possibility, early diagnosis, treatment, and reduction can provide desirable outcome. introduction shoulder dislocation is the most common presentation of joint dislocation in emergency department (ed). bilateral shoulder d...

osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor and accounts for 10% of benign tumors. almost any bones can be involved but half of cases involving femur or tibia. osteoid osteoma is a rare tumor of the scapula with only 18 reported cases in the literature. we presented a case of osteoid osteoma of the scapula in right shoulder in angle of coracoid and geloneid in a 34- year old woman. she had right rad...

BACKGROUND Anterior shoulder instability associated with severe glenoid bone loss is rare, and little has been reported on this problem. Recent biomechanical and anatomical studies have suggested guidelines for bony reconstruction of the glenoid. HYPOTHESIS Anatomical glenoid reconstruction will restore stability in shoulders with recurrent anterior instability owing to glenoid bone loss. S...

OBJECTIVE To explore relationships between shoulder complaints after neck dissection, shoulder disability, and quality of life. To find clinical predictors for mid- to long-term shoulder disability. STUDY DESIGN Prospective. PATIENTS AND METHODS Shoulder pain, shoulder mobility, and shoulder droop, as well as scores on shoulder disability questionnaire and RAND-36 (quality of life), were me...

BACKGROUND Two methods of nerve block based on eliciting neural feedback with the block needle currently exist. The paresthesia technique uses sensory feedback to ascertain that the needle tip is close to the nerve. By contrast, a peripheral nerve stimulator makes use of motor responses to electrical stimulation. The relation of motor responses to an electrical peripheral nerve stimulator and s...

CONTEXT The overhead throwing motion is complex, and restrictions in range of motion (ROM) at the hip may place additional demands on the shoulder that lead to injury. However, the relationship between hip and shoulder ROM in athletes with and without a history of shoulder injury is unknown. OBJECTIVE To (1) determine if differences exist in hip and shoulder ROM between professional baseball ...

BACKGROUND The influence of rehabilitation on the outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical results and tendon healing rates following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair utilizing two distinct rehabilitation protocols. METHODS Over a thirty-month period, 124 patients under the age of sixty-five years underwent arthroscopic...
