Traumatic lesions of the distal biceps brachii are uncommon. They often result from rapid elbow flexion against resistance. Conservative treatment is only indicated in low-demanding patient and in those who have severe comorbidities. Regarding the surgical approach, two options are available: the single- and the double-incision techniques. The form...

Background: The Kujala, Fulkerson, Larsen and Lysholm questionnaires have been demonstrated to be reliable and sensitive in assessing patients with patellofemoral pathology. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt into Italian the English versions of the Kujala, Fulkerson, Larsen and Lysholm questionnaires, and underta...

Background: Arthroscopic subscapularis (SSC) repair is a technically demanding procedure with a long learning curve. As effective completion of resident's practical experience remains controversial, a prospective clinical study was performed to assess the functional and anatomical outcomes of subscapularis (SSC) arthroscopic repair by orthopedic r...

Introduction: Symptomatic glenoid erosion is one of the most common causes of functional impairment after shoulder hemiarthroplasty. A decrease in the critical shoulder angle (CSA) has been associated with the development of shoulder arthritis. The inter-observer reliability of the CSA and the relationship between CSA and symptomatic glenoid erosi...

Introduction: Secondary cuff failure after shoulder replacement is disabling and often requires additional surgery. Increased critical shoulder angle (CSA) has been found in patients with cuff tear compared to normal subjects. The interobserver reliability of the CSA and the relationship between CSA and symptomatic secondary cuff failure after sho...

Background: Vibration therapy (VT) has been proposed as an option to improve physical performance and reduce the negative effects of ageing on bone, muscles and tendons. Several discrepancies exist on the type of applications, frequency and magnitude. These differences reflex on the contradictory clinical results in literature. Aim of the present...

Background The Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder index (WOOS) has been introduced as a disease-specific quality of life measurement in patients with glenohumeral arthritis. The aim of the present study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the English version of the WOOS to Italian and to assess its validity, reliability and re...

Purpose: Post-operative range of motion (ROM) is one of the most important parameters to assess, following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aims of the present systematic review were to analyse the available literature and determine if closing the knee in flexion or extension influences post-operative ROM, clinical outcomes, and complications fo...

The purpose of this study was to look at the functional outcomes of arthroscopic repair of anterosuperior rotator cuff tears. Sixty-one patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of anterosuperior cuff tears were retrospectively reviewed. At a minimum 6 months of follow-up, shoulder functional outcome scores including the Constant score (CS), simpl...

Posterior shoulder dislocation is often associated with bone defects. Surgical treatment is often necessary to address these lesions. The aim of the present systematic review was to analyse the available literature concerning bone block procedures in the treatment of bone deficiencies following posterior dislocation. In addition, the methodology of...

Revision surgery for failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with bone loss is challenging. Several options are available including cement augmentation, metal augmentation, and bone grafting. The aim of the present study was to describe a surgical technique for lateral tibial plateau autografting and report mid-term outcomes. Eleven consecu...

The aim of the present study was to describe the precise anatomy of the so-called "Comma Sign" which has been observed during arthroscopy in retracted subscapularis (SSC) tears. Fourteen fresh cadaveric shoulders were prepared to obtain an articular view comparable to arthroscopic posterior portal view. A step-by-step dissection was carried out to...

Background: Anterior instability in rugby players is characterized by the common finding of a bony lesion, which has been identified as a potential cause of recurrence after soft-tissue reconstruction. The Latarjet-Patte procedure is effective in the treatment of recurrent anterior instability in collision sports such as rugby union. Methods: We...

Shoulder instability includes a wide spectrum of different manifestations ranging from painful hyperlaxity to chronic locked shoulder dislocations. Many different classifications of glenohumeral joint have been proposed, based on aetiology, direction of instability, or on combination thereof. A correct diagnosis and classification is essential to e...

Introduction L’atteinte de la patella dans le cadre de l’ostéochondrite disséquante du genou est rare. Cette étude a eu deux buts principaux : l’évaluation des résultats fonctionnels du traitement chirurgical par mosaïcplastie de cette pathologie, et l’évaluation de la reconstruction de la surface articulaire et de l’intégration des plots. Patient...

Patellar damage during osteochondritis dissecans of the knee is rare. There were two objectives to this study: evaluate the functional results of surgical treatment by mosaicplasty in this disease as well as evaluate articular surface reconstruction and cylindrical bone plugs incorporation. Six consecutive cases of patella osteochondritis dissecans...
