Filter by:Rotator cuff tears in the shoulder are common, often cause pain and disability, often fail to heal with surgery, and both tears and failure of healing are associated with estradiol deficiency. In this study, women who have gone through menopause will be randomized to either estradiol patches or placebo patches after repair of the rotator cuff. The purpose of this study is to determine whether estradiol patches show promise in improving shoulder pain, strength, and function when given with rotator cuff repair.
Determine the optimal degree of retroversion (0-30º) to obtain the best rotational mobility, both internal and external, of the shoulder after implanting a reversed sghoulder arthroplasty (Comprehensive system), and analyze the functional and radiologic results based on humeral retroversion.
BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain has been reported to be the third most common musculoskeletal presentation in primary care, after low back pain and knee pain. The prognosis for those presenting with musculoskeletal shoulder pain varies greatly amongst individuals, with 50% of people reporting symptoms 6 months after presenting in primary healthcare. Functional limitations, in addition to pain, are widespread and can interfere with job, hobbies, social, and sporting activities. They may also relate to psychological discomfort and a lower quality of life. Continuous computer uses without a break, awkward postures, and the duration and frequency of laptop use have all been identified as risk factors for musculoskeletal diseases. The most prevalent cause, accounting for 70% of cases, is rotator cuff dysfunction. Rotator cuff disorders are frequently associated with short and long-term impairment and discomfort, with approximately fifty percent of patients experiencing pain or functional restrictions for up to two years. The majority of shoulder pain concerns are treated in primary care by physiotherapists and general practitioners. Myofascial release is a common hands-on method manual therapy technique that uses carefully guided low load, long duration mechanical pressures to modify the myofascial complex with promising results in improving functional level. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of myofascial release in patient with rotator cuff tendinopathy. METHOD: The design of this study is a double blinded Randomize control trail. Forty-two participants will be divided into one of two groups, group one will have strengthening exercises, range of motion exercise, and ice application, group two will perform the same exercises with ice application plus myofascial release. Patient will be followed for one month, two session per week and the session duration will be 30-45 mins. Assessment and re-assessment will be done by independent physical therapist. All patients will be assessed by using quick DASH, VAS, ROM, and Kessler psychological distress scale.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if concomitant open pectoralis minor release would improve pain and outcomes after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA). The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether releasing the pectoralis minor prophylactically could have better pain relief - whether releasing the pectoralis minor prophylactically could have increased Range of motion (ROM) outcomes - whether releasing the pectoralis minor prophylactically could have higher final Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs) Participants will be randomized to either undergo RSA with pectoralis minor release or RSA without pectoralis minor release.
Rotator cuff (RC) injuries are particularly prevalent, difficult to repair, and attachment between the bone and tendon is notoriously difficult to achieve. The most common method and current standard of care (SOC) for reattaching connective tissues (e.g., ligaments, tendons) to bone typically involves suture anchor-based techniques, but this is fraught with problems. More specifically, re-tearing of the connective tissue after this procedure occurs in 30-60% of cases, and can be even higher in patients who engage in smoking, have a diagnosis of diabetes, etc. To address these clinical challenges, Sparta Biopharma Inc. (Sparta) developed a unique technology, called BioEnthesis, to improve the connection between the tendon and bone. Pre-clinical in vivo studies demonstrated that the biphasic bovine cancellous matrix regenerated at the bone-soft tissue interface-thereby leading to high structural integrity and will likely lead to reduced re-tear rates over time. The investigators hypothesize that patients in this interventional cohort will experience enhanced mobility, reduced pain, and less re-tears after RC procedures versus a standard suture anchor-based repair.
The study design is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-randomized, and noncontrolled post market clinical follow-up study involving orthopedic surgeons skilled in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair as determined by the Sponsor.
Suprascapular nerve block is an injection method that has been shown to be effective in shoulder rehabilitation in diseases such as adhesive capsulitis and stroke .. Applying the block under USG guidance instead of blinding increases the effectiveness and reduces complications.
This study aimed to describe a modified technique for arthroscopic-assisted transfer of the lower trapezius tendon in a selected group of patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears and to evaluate its short-term results.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect and the impact of performing virtual reality intervention on upper extremity function in patients with post-operative rotator cuff repair. The main question that it aims to answer is: Does the application of virtual reality intervention improves upper extremity function in patients with post-operative rotator cuff repair. Participants will be randomized into 2 groups: the control group receiving conventional physical therapy intervention and the experimental group receiving the virtual reality intervention.
48 patients with massive rotator cuff tears were treated with a standardized five step technique of arthroscopic guided mini-open tranosseous repair with bursal augmentation. Their follow up is noted
