We hypothesized that the treatment of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis requires accurate identification of the painful area to promote remodeling of the degenerated extensor insertion and to stabilize the tendon origin during tendon healing. Thus, we performed tenodesis with bone marrow venting under local anesthesia for recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis.

The Mayo-Fundación Jiménez Díaz (FJD) classification for proximal humerus fractures aims to identify specific fracture patterns and apply displacement criteria to each pattern. The classification includes 7 common fracture patterns: isolated fractures of the greater or lesser tuberosity, fractures of the surgical neck, impacted fractures involving head rotation in a varus and posteromedial…

This study compares patient reported outcomes (PROs) and Range of Motion (ROM) between adults with an AO/OTA type C proximal humerus fracture managed nonoperatively, with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).

The diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis is typically made on the basis of clinical history and examination. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used to supplement evaluation of the patient with a painful elbow and can identify extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon tears. The objective of this study was to determine if ECRB tear size on MRI could be used as a prognostic…

Rotator cuff tears and glenoid loosening remain the two most common causes for revision after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Oversizing of the humeral head leads to increased contact force across the glenohumeral joint and is hypothesized to contribute to clinical and radiographic failure. The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of radiographic overstuffing between standard short…

Globally, reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has moved away from the Grammont design to modern prosthesis designs. The purpose of this study was to provide a focused, updated systematic review for each of the most common complications of RSA by limiting each search to publications after 2010. In this part II, the following were examined: (1) instability, (2) humerus/glenoid fracture, (3)…
