Radial head replacement is the main line of treating complex unstable elbow injuries. Based on polarity, radial head prostheses are either monopolar or bipolar. The difference between both designs in patients’ clinical outcomes and postoperative complications is not yet clear.
Rotator cuff repair can be used to reverse increased glenohumeral joint load, according to a new study.
A discovery by a multi-institutional team of researchers and engineers about how tendon and bone attach in the shoulder joint has uncovered previously unsuspected engineering strategies for attaching dissimilar materials. The discovery also sheds new light on how the rotator cuff functions and on why rotator cuff repairs fail so frequently.
For starters, "good" posture occurs when the muscles of the body support the skeleton in an alignment that is both stable and energy efficient.
Open fractures about the elbow are an infrequent but complex injury with limited existing literature. The aims of the study were to review: the treatment strategies of open elbows fractures, functional outcome and complication rates associated with the injury and correlate the outcome with the topography of fracture.
