Purpose
Marker-by-treatment analyses are promising new methods in internal medicine, but have not yet been implemented in orthopaedics. With this analysis, specific cut-off points may be obtained, that can potentially identify whether meniscal surgery or physical therapy is the superior intervention for an individual patient. This study aimed to in...
Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate the thoracohumeral (TH) and glenohumeral (GH) motion with muscle activity after latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT) in a massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear (MIRT) and pseudoparalytic shoulder compared to the asymptomatic contralateral shoulder (ACS).
Methods
Thirteen patients were rec...
Purpose:
The extent of shoulder instability and the indication for surgery may be determined by the prevalence or size of associated lesions. However, a varying prevalence is reported and the actual values are therefore unclear. In addition, it is unclear whether these lesions are present after the first dislocation and whether or not these lesion...
Background
As nonoperative treatment of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures is associated with nonunion rates up to 33%, operative treatment is frequently advocated. However, evidence is lacking regarding which operative treatment to perform and whether this is superior to nonoperative treatment in terms of functional outcome and complication ra...
A visible mass around the sternoclavicular (SC) joint may be explained by a wide variety of diagnoses, each with its own diagnostic pathway and treatment options. Here we report three cases: a 56-year-old male with an anterior luxation of the right SC joint, a 59-year-old male with osteomyelitis of the left SC joint and a 78-year-old male with a pa...
Background:
There is an ongoing debate about whether to perform operative or nonoperative treatment following a first-time anterior dislocation or wait for recurrence before operating. The aim of this systematic review is to compare recurrence rates following operative treatment following first-time anterior dislocation (OTFD) with recurrence rate...
Purpose
Determining the risk of recurrent instability following an arthroscopic Bankart repair can be challenging, as numerous risk factors have been identified that might predispose recurrent instability.

The aim...
Background
Suprapectoral long head biceps (LHB) tenodesis and subpectoral LHB tenodesis are both commonly performed surgical procedures. Due to the more proximal position of the suprapectoral tenodesis site this technique may be accompanied with more postoperative pain in the bicipital groove and cramping pain in the biceps muscle. We hypothesized...

Orthopedic surgeons specialized in shoulder surgery w...
Introduction
Pathology in the bicipital groove can be a source of anterior shoulder pain. Many studies have compared treatment techniques for the long head biceps tendon (LHBT) without showing any clinically significant differences. As the LHBT is closely related to the bicipital groove, anatomical aspects of this groove could also be implicated in...
