Outcomes and challenges in the surgical treatment of trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations: A case series study
Transolecranon fracture-dislocations represent a complex subset of elbow injuries characterized by concomitant fractures of the olecranon, coronoid process, and radial head, often associated with posterior dislocation. These injuries pose significant surgical challenges due to their inherent instability and high risk of poor functional outcomes. Despite previous studies describing different fixation techniques, there is no standardized surgical protocol to optimize outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results of a structured surgical approach in the management of these injuries.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Diagnosis, Nonsurgical Medical Care, and Rehabilitation: A Clinical Practice Guideline
This evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) aims to guide clinicians with recommendations covering the assessment, treatment, and prognosis of adults with shoulder pain with suspected rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, the nonsurgical medical care and rehabilitation of adults with RC tendinopathy, as well as the return to function and sport for elite and recreational athletes.
16 Causes of Armpit Pain: When You Need to Worry
Armpit pain can have many causes, ranging from injuries and irritants to infections that cause swollen lymph nodes. Less commonly, the pain—referred to as axillary pain—may be due to an autoimmune or arterial disease, nerve compression, and malignancies like breast cancer.
Early active motion may be noninferior to immobilization for proximal humeral fractures
Published results showed early functional rehabilitation with no range of motion or force restrictions yielded similar outcomes as sling immobilization after surgical fixation of a proximal humerus fracture.
When Lateral Epicondylitis Is Not Lateral Epicondylitis: Analysis of the Risk Factors for the Misdiagnosis of Lateral Elbow Pain
Lateral elbow pain, often attributed to lateral epicondylitis, presents diagnostic complexities. Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is the most frequent cause of lateral elbow pain, but a differential diagnosis among all the potential causes of lateral elbow pain is not easy.
