Between 1976 and 2004, 38 revision arthroplasties (35 patients) were performed for aseptic loosening of the humeral component. The mean interval from primary arthroplasty to revision was 7.1 years (0.4 to 16.6). A total of 35

1. In a series of one hundred personal cases of "painful shoulder" rupture of the musculotendinous cuff was proved by operation in eighteen cases and was presumed in eight further cases, namely, in about one quarter of the series. 2. Of the eighteen cases treated by operation through the transacromial approach, perfect results were obtained only in four. The other results were unsatisfactory. In five, movement was good but there was pain or weakness of the limb. In nine the condition was unaltered or made worse. 3. Conservative treatment of traumatic lesions of the supraspinatus tendon is therefore advocated. The advisability of rest of the
We performed a double-blind, randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a continuous-infusion brachial plexus block with levobupivacaine compared with that of a standard single injection for the management of post-operative pain after surgery on the

We performed a prospective study using MRI in 16 consecutive infants with a mean age of 5.2 months (2.7 to 8.7) who had shown inadequate recovery from an obstetric lesion of the brachial plexus in the first three months of life, in order to identify early secondary deformities of the
