Filter by:Controlled hypotension is one of the important techniques used for facilitates the clarity of the surgical field during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Brachial plexus or its branches block provides excellent analgesia during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. To test the hypothesis that, during arthroscopic shoulder surgery, general anesthesia combined with nerve block could provide more stable hemodynamic index than general anesthesia. Patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery were enrolled and divided into 3 groups: general anesthesia group, general anesthesia combined with brachial plexus block, and general anesthesia combined with suprascapular nerve block group. The dosage of vasoactive drugs and anesthetics, parameters of perioperative bleeding, hemodynamic parameters, systemic oxygen metabolism, kidney functions, as well as procedure process and postoperative adverse reactions were recorded and compared between the groups.
The purpose of this study is to assess cartilage strain and contact areas following glenohumeral instability compared to healthy individuals.
Shoulder arthroscopy provides many benefits with a permanent increase in the possibilities and complexity of the application. A condition to perform it is intraoperative visual clarity dependent on hemorrhage control. The aim of this prospective, double blind, randomized, and controlled study is to examine the effect of intravenously administered tranexamic acid (TXA) on the visual clarity, perioperative hemorrhage, duration and early postoperative course of shoulder arthroscopy in beach chair position, which is not yet available in the literature. In the tested and control group, the investigators measure hemoglobin (Hb) in the waste irrigation fluid and the patient's blood before and after the procedure, visual clarity, duration of the procedure, postoperative shoulder swelling, pain level and analgesic drug consumption. The research uses scientific methods to determine if there is a reasonable basis for introducing TXA into routine clinical use.
Problems related to the shoulder are frequently seen in the society. Many methods are used to evaluate these problems. One of the most frequently used methods is self-report scales. When the shoulder-oriented self-report scales in the literature are examined, methods such as Visual Analog Scale, Numeric Scale and Likert Scale are used more frequently. In the literature, there is no scale that seeks clear answers as yes/no by grading shoulder-oriented activities. We would like to contribute to the literature by developing a scale that uses such a scaling method. All of the shoulder-oriented self-report scales used in Turkey were developed by cultural adaptation. In our study, it was aimed to develop an easy-to-understand scale that includes items with high social intelligibility and offers a new scaling method.
The subscapularis is part of the rotator cuff and is release as part of a reverse shoulder replacement. The decision to repair this tendon is controversial. This research is being done to help determine if rotator cuff repair improves or hinders shoulder replacement. A worrisome but rare complication after shoulder replacement is dislocation. Rotator cuff repair may help reduce this risk. The repair may hinder some of the range of motion afterwards or could help with internal rotation strength. There is a chance that the repair doesn't matter at all. The goal of this study is to delineate outcomes after reverse shoulder arthroplasty with the respect to management of the subscapularis tendon. Further information about rotator cuff repair after reverse shoulder replacement can help define complications, potentially decrease OR time, and improve functional outcomes. A total of 148 patients will be enrolled and the duration of the study will be 5 years. All patients will be required to follow-up at 2¬-week, 6-week, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year post-operative marks. Any time information is collected for a study there is a small risk of breach of confidentiality. There are no monetary costs or payments associated with this study. You may or may not benefit by taking part in this study. There is no guarantee that you will receive direct benefit from your participation in this study. To be clear, participation in this study is completely voluntary.
The aim of this study is to identify factors for shoulder instability in people with Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). FSHD is a non-life limiting condition with symptoms presenting in the second decade of life (Evangelista et al., 2016). Between 2500 to 3000 people are diagnosed with FSHD in the UK and it is the third most common dystrophy. The overall prevalence is 1: 20,000 and on average 52 people are newly diagnosed with FSHD each year (Emery, 1991; Padberg et al., 1995; UK, 2020) As the disease progresses, patients lose the ability to adequately control muscles around the shoulder girdle, possibly contributing to the development of shoulder instability i.e. partial or complete dislocation of the shoulder joint (Bergsma, Cup, Geurts, & De Groot, 2015; Bergsma, Cup, Janssen, Geurts, & de Groot, 2017; Mul et al., 2016). Loss of control around the shoulder is also thought to contribute to pain and a reduced capacity to perform tasks above shoulder height. Additionally, the development of fatigue and chronic pain further limit patient's abilities and engagement with rehabilitation. If we better understand the mechanisms associated with instability, we can better target physiotherapy interventions to improve rehabilitation. If we identify specific patterns of activity associated with instability, these could be addressed through personalised and improved exercise prescription and rehabilitation. Additionally, we may identify causes of instability for which physiotherapy or exercise programmes may not be appropriate, therefore ensuring patients are referred to the correct service in a timely manner, improving patient outcomes and allocating resources more appropriately.

The aim of this study is to quantify the functional deficits as a function of the dominance of the shoulder stabilized by the open procedure of Latarjet at 4.5 months postoperatively compared to healthy controls.
The aim of this study is to assess whether the indicators outcome of these tests discriminate between different populations. In particular to compare populations with shoulders without any history of injury with a population that had undergone a reduction in glenohumeral instability by the Latarjet technique.
The glenohumeral joint is an articulation between the glenoid of the scapula and the head of the humerus that is enclosed by a synovial capsule divided into three main components: anterior, posterior, and the axillary pouch. Symptoms of posterior capsule tightness are linked to altered shoulder biomechanics and impairments which includes glenohumeral internal rotation deficit, incomplete glenohumeral adduction, impaired inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) function, and increased risk of impingement symptoms. In the literature the two techniques available for stretching posterior capsule are pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and sleeper stretch. Pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is therapist administered and sleeper stretch is patient-administered. The work on the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is more specified and rational to mark the tightness in the posterior capsule.
