Management of first shoulder dislocation following reduction remains controversial. The two main options are immobilisation and arthroscopic stabilisation. The aim of this article is to highlight some of the issues that influence decision making when discussing management options with these patients, including natural history of the first time dislocation, outcomes of surgery and non-operati...

In a comparative study, three di erent procedures of stabilisation techniques are considered for incompressible viscoelastic ow. The standard benchmark of ow past a sphere falling in a cylindrical vessel is employed to test these stabilisation techniques. First, discontinuity capturing (for stress) has been employed to investigate stabilisation properties. Then, the Zienkiewicz Zhu (ZPR-Q) quad...

The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the efficacy of specific stabilisation exercise for spinal and pelvic pain. Randomised clinical trials evaluating specific stabilisation exercise were identified and retrieved. Outcomes were disability, pain, return to work, number of episodes, global perceived effect, or health-related quality of life. A single trial reported that spe...

PURPOSE To compare stability and subsidence associated with 3 types of cervical spine stabilisation. METHODS The C3 to C4 vertebrae of 28 Polish pigs were used. Pigs with intact vertebrae (group 1) underwent standard anterior cervical discectomy (group 2), followed by stabilisation using a cage alone (group 3), a cage with plate (group 4), or a plate-cage (group 5). Cervical spine stability a...

Sacroilliac joint diasthesis from high energy trauma is always complicated with chronic pain and long term morbidity. Open anterior stabilisation with plate allow direct reduction and stabilisation with biomechanically advantages. Here we report on four cases of pelvic injury with sacroiliac joint disruption treated with anterior plate stabilisation through a surgical approach similar to that u...

The experimental facts on the stabilisation of martensite in copper base shape memory alloys, of interest to the scientific investigator and the practical alloy processor and user are reported. Factors that have an influence on stabilisation are considered in this respect. The mechanisms proposed in the literature to explain stabilisation are critically examined.

Climate change will affect climate-carbon cycle feedbacks such that permissible emissions to achieve stabilisation will need to be substantially lower than hereto expected. This is especially true for higher stabilisation levels with reductions to total permissible emissions of over 30%. There is an “optimal pathway” to each stabilisation level, defined as that allowing maximum permissible emis...

A systematic search of the literature published between January 1985 and February 2006 identified 62 studies which reported the results of arthroscopic procedures for chronic anterior shoulder instability or comparisons between arthroscopic and open surgery. These studies were classified by surgical technique and research methodology, and when appropriate, were included in a meta-analysis. The ...
