BackgroundClinically, a distinction is made between types of rotator cuff tear, traumatic and non-traumatic, and this sub-classification currently informs the treatment pathway. It is currently recommended that patients with traumatic rotator cuff tears are fast tracked for surgical opinion. However, there is uncertainty about the most clinically a...

BackgroundEnterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae) is one of the commensal flora in the human intestinal tract and a prevalent nosocomial pathogen, which rarely causes infectious osteoarthritis in immunocompetent patients without recent trauma or surgery. Here, we report the first case of septic monoarthritis of the shoulder caused by E. cloacae in an imm...

BackgroundExtended scope physiotherapists (ESP) are increasingly supplementing orthopaedic surgeons (OS) in diagnosing patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Studies have reported satisfactory diagnostic and treatment agreement between ESPs and OSs, but methodological study quality is generally low, and only few studies have evaluated inter-profe...

Shoulder assessment in rehabilitation is focused on kinematic properties due to the variability of symptomatology and clinical expression of shoulder injuries. To perform a receiver operating characteristic analysis of the kinematic variables involved in the functional mobility of the shoulder that allow the identification of discriminating variabl...

Subscapularis (SSC) tendons differ from supraspinatus tendons, although both have similar histologic structure comprising two layers with distinct collagen fiber organization. The partial/full-thickness tear classification for the supraspinatus based on tendon structure can be applied to the subscapularis tendon on objective criteria. The present s...

The long head of the biceps tendon is stabilized in the intertubercular groove by several anatomical structures. Dislocation or identification of the biceps tendon into or within the subscapularis tendon is very rarely mentioned in the literature. This is the first reported case of bilateral identification of the long head of the biceps tendons wit...

Objective We evaluated the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the shoulder joint in patients with adhesive capsulitis (AC) and compared its effect with that of conventional physiotherapy (CPT). Methods Sixty-four subjects with AC were included and randomly allocated into two groups, as follows: PRP (n=32; ...

The Popeye sign is a frequently reported finding following LHB surgery and may be more often detected by doctors than by patients. This study investigates agreement between patients and doctors regarding the presence of a Popeye sign following LHB surgery. This Inter-observer study investigates agreement between patients and consulting physicians w...

Background: The specialized roles of many military personnel require specific skills and high physical demands, placing unique stresses on the shoulders and increasing risk of injury. As normal dominant/nondominant shoulder asymmetries have been established in military personnel, bilateral strength comparisons must be understood in context of daily...
