Elbow Roundup360 looks at: cuff tears and plexus injury; corticosteroids and physiotherapy in SAI; diabetes and elbow arthroplasty; distal biceps tendon repairs; shockwave therapy in frozen shoulder; hydrodilation and steroids for adhesive capsulitis; just what do our patients read?; and what happens to that stable radial head fracture?
The October 2014 Shoulder &
Elbow Roundup360 looks at: PRP is not effective in tennis elbow; eccentric physiotherapy effective in subacromial pain; dexamethasone in shoulder surgery; arthroscopic remplissage for engaging Hill-Sach’s lesions; a consistent approach to subacromial impingement; delay in fixation of proximal humeral fractures detrimental to outcomes.
The June 2013 Shoulder &
Elbow Roundup360 looks at: whether suture anchors are still the gold standard; infection and revision elbow arthroplasty; the variable success of elbow replacements; sliding knots; neurologic cuff pain and the suprascapular nerve; lies, damn lies and statistics; osteoarthritis; and one- or two-stage treatment for the infected shoulder revision.
The April 2013 Shoulder &
Elbow Roundup360 looks at: biceps, pressure and instability; chronic acromio-clavicular joint instability; depression and shoulder pain; shoulder replacement and transfusion; cuff integrity and function; iatropathic plexus injury; the accuracy of acromio-clavicular joint injection; and tennis as a risk factor for tennis elbow.
The February 2013 Shoulder &
Elbow Roundup360 looks at: whether we should replace fractured shoulders; the limited evidence for shoulder fractures; cuffs and early physio; matrix proteins and cuff tears; long-term SLAP tear outcomes; suture anchors; recurrent Bankart repairs; and acromial morphology and calcific tendonitis.
The June 2012 Shoulder &
Elbow Roundup360 looks at: reverse shoulder replacement; torn rotator cuffs and platelet-rich fibrin; rotator cuff repair; frozen shoulder; whether an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair actually heals; the torn rotator cuff’s effect on activities of daily living; subacromial impingement; how to improve the reliability of the Constant-Murley score; and failure of the Neer modification of an open Bankart procedure.
