BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to compare the functional midterm outcome of stemless shoulder prostheses with standard anatomical stemmed shoulder prostheses and to show that the STEMLESS results are comparable to the STEMMED with respect to active maximum range of shoulder motion (ROM) and Constant score (CS). METHODS Seventeen patients underwent total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in 25 ...

CONTEXT Dynamic shoulder motion can be captured using video capture systems, but reliability has not yet been established. OBJECTIVE To compare the reliability of 2 systems in measuring dynamic shoulder kinematics during forward-elevation movements and to determine differences in these kinematics between healthy and injured subjects. DESIGN Reliability and cohort. SETTING Research laborat...

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...

The amount of stress imposed on shoulder and elbow appears to be directly correlated with the degree of maximum shoulder external rotation (MER) during throwing motions. Therefore, identifying risk factors contributing to the increase of MER angle may help to decrease the throwing injuries occurrence in baseball players. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the correlation betwee...

BACKGROUND Although increased retroversion of the glenoid has been shown to be an important factor in posterior instability of the shoulder, there are few studies reporting glenoid bone structure as a risk factor in anterior dislocation of the shoulder. This study aimed to compare glenoid version in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder and individuals in a control group with no sh...

This study evaluated single-handed isometric push strength capabilities of females working at or above-shoulder level. We examined the influence of force exertion direction (vertical, horizontal and lateral), angle of shoulder flexion from horizontal (0°, 30°, 60° and 90°) and gross body posture (standing and sitting), on maximal volitional shoulder strength. Force exertion direction had the gr...

BACKGROUND Muscle fatigue is known to decrease shoulder proprioceptive acuity, potentially contributing to injuries. It has been suggested that Kinesio taping can improve proprioception. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Kinesio taping on shoulder joint position sense after muscle fatigue. METHODS Twenty-four healthy subjects were evaluated in a randomized, cr...
