BACKGROUND Collegiate baseball pitchers, as well as position players, exhibit increased humeral retrotorsion compared with individuals with no history of overhead sport participation. Whether the humeral retrotorsion plays a role in the development of throwing-related injuries that are prevalent in collegiate baseball pitchers is unknown. HYPOTHESES Humeral retrotorsion will be significantly ...

BACKGROUND Collegiate football is a high-demand sport in which shoulder injuries are common. Research has described the incidence of these injuries, with little focus on causative factors or injury prevention. HYPOTHESIS Football athletes who score lower on preseason strength and functional testing are more likely to sustain an in-season shoulder injury. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, cohort stu...

In our literature review we find the evidence in both conventional and complementary therapies does not reliably inform us of the effectiveness of treatments for frozen shoulder (FS). Physiotherapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticosteroid injections, capsular stretching, exercises and surgery demonstrated limited evidence of efficacy. Similarly, studies varied greatly regardi...

Axillary artery injury has been associated with shoulder dislocation and surgery. We describe a case of delayed axillary artery occlusion after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The injury was confirmed by Doppler and angiography and was treated with angioplasty and stenting. Early recognition and treatment of this injury are mandatory for patients' recovery.
