Two-Portal Arthroscopic Knotless All-Suture Anchor Posterior Labral Repair
Isolated posterior shoulder instability accounts for approximately 10% of shoulder instability cases. Patients may present after an acute trauma or with insidious onset and associated posterior shoulder pain. Knotless and all-suture anchor devices have become increasing popular and are often used in arthroscopic shoulder instability cases to avoid knot stacks and allow for the ability to re-tension the fixation. This technical note describes our technique for 2-portal posterior labral repair using knotless all-suture anchors with the patient in the lateral decubitus position.
Minimally invasive brain-computer interface may help those with tetraplegia restore hand functions
An implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) can assist severely disabled persons with communication and active rehabilitation. Sustainable BCI implants require minimal invasiveness.A team led by Prof. Bo Hong from Tsinghua Medicine proposed the principle and design of a minimally invasive BCI in 2013.
Pain on Top of Foot: Treatment Based on Cause
Pain on the top of the foot can occur from injury or as a side effect of a medical condition. You may also experience swelling, numbness, tingling, or burning—depending on the cause of your foot pain. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, extensor tendonitis, and gout can cause pain on the top of the foot.
Researchers suggest changing gold standard of spine surgery from operative microscope to 3D exoscope
Researchers and neurosurgeons at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) retrospectively compared the operative microscope to the 3D exoscope in a recent study published in World Neurosurgery and found better outcomes among both surgeons and patients when using the exoscope.
What types of shoulder surgery are available?
The shoulder is a mobile and complex joint that is prone to dislocation and injury. Several types of shoulder surgery can address and correct various shoulder symptoms.
10 Exercises to Help Relieve Knee Pain
Gentle stretching and other low impact exercises can strengthen the muscles that support your knee joint. Start by stretching your heel, calf, quadriceps, and hamstrings, and work up to half squats, calf raises, and other leg lift variations.
Updated EULAR recommendations for hip and knee osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects more than 500 million people worldwide. The disease is age-related, and usually starts to affect people in middle age. For elderly people, OA is the most common cause of disability, resulting in pain, limited mobility, and impacts on participation in both social and work contexts.
Sleep can give athletes an edge over competitors, but few recognize how fundamental sleep is to performance
A healthy sleep pattern can be a stealthy game plan for athletes to gain an edge over their opponents. Only a few top elite athletes know the secret of early bedtimes for optimal performance.
Rotator Cuff Tears were Significantly More frequent in Recurrent Shoulder Instability Patients with Initial Dislocation After 40 Years than Those Before
The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the pathologies and clinical outcomes of patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability who underwent arthroscopic stabilization at 40 years or older between shoulders with initial dislocation before and after 40 years old.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis: Conservative Management and Surgical Treatment
De Quervain's tenosynovitis (also called de Quervain's disease) is a condition that affects tendons that attach to two muscles of the thumb—extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus.1 This condition typically develops from repetitive use of the thumb for activities such as twisting and pinching, but the cause is not always known.
