The aim of this study is to report the implant survival and factors associated with revision of total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) using data from the Dutch national registry. All TEAs recorded in the Dutch national registry between 2014 and 2020 were included. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and a logistic regression model was used to assess the factors associated with revision.Aims
Methods
We conducted a study to identify factors that are prognostic
of the outcome of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for calcific
tendinitis of the shoulder. Since 1998, patients with symptomatic calcific tendinitis of
the rotator cuff have been treated with ESWT using an electrohydraulic
mode shockwave device. One year after ESWT, patients were grouped
according to the level of resorption of calcification.Aims
Patients and Methods
Aims. The aim of the study was to develop a quantitative scoring system
to predict whether a large-to-massive rotator cuff tear was arthroscopically
reparable prior to surgery. Patients and Methods. We conducted a retrospective review of the pre-operative MR imaging
and surgical records of 87 patients (87 shoulders) who underwent
arthroscopic repair of a large-to-massive rotator cuff tear. Patients
were divided into two groups, based on the surgical outcome of the
repair. Of the 87 patients, 53 underwent complete repair (Group
I) and 34 an incomplete repair (Group II). Pre-operative MR images
were reviewed to quantify several variables. Between-group differences
were evaluated and
