Increased head, shoulder injuries in ice hockey may signal need for safer equipment
A post-pandemic rise in head and shoulder injuries for pediatric ice hockey players may suggest the need for safer equipment standards, according to data published in Injury.
Understanding the Key Differences Between Abduction and Adduction
Abduction and adduction are shoulder and hip movements that occur in the body's frontal plane—an imaginary line that divides the body into front and back halves. They're essential for stability and injury prevention in your shoulders, pelvis, and lower back.
Why Is My Wrist Popping and Cracking?
Popping and cracking in your wrist (sometimes known as crepitus) can be an uncomfortable sensation. Reasons your wrist pops or cracks may include normal joint cracking, osteoarthritis, tendon issues, or an unstable joint.
What happens to the elbow 15 years after a radial head prosthesis? A clinical and imaging long-term follow-up study.
Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) has increasingly become the standard treatment for non-reconstructable radial head fractures, especially in young active patients where long-lasting function restoration is of paramount importance. However, long-term evidence of the results over time is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to document the long-term outcomes of RHA for acute radial head fractures.
Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case control study
Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular treatment, its efficacy in patients with failed rotator cuff repair (ARCR) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical results of RSA for following failed ARCR. We hypothesized that RSA after failed ARCR would lead to improved clinical outcomes comparable to those of RSA performed without prior surgeries.
