During shoulder arthroscopic surgery in the lateral decubitus position, effective and stable continuous traction is a basic requirement for the smooth progression of the surgery. Herein, we describe a safe, reliable, and cost-effective lateral decubitus traction assembly.
Upper back pain between the shoulder blades has many causes, including muscle strain, herniated discs, arthritis, or, less often, a serious health problem.
QUT scientists have developed a deep learning framework to detect shoulder abnormalities such as fractures in X-ray images with 99% accuracy to enable clinicians to make correct and speedy decisions in emergency situations.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of total elbow arthroplasty as the index procedure in the treatment of traumatic distal humerus fractures, with secondary total elbow arthroplasty following failed internal fixation.
Recently, for cases that fall between the need of arthroscopic repair and open procedures, surgeons have developed methods for using soft tissue grafts in order to create a “sling” effect and augment glenoid labral repair.
