Pathology of the long head of the biceps (LHB) may be the cause of anterior shoulder pain after hemiarthroplasty for treatment of fractures of the proximal humerus. The currently available literature lacks adequate randomised trials examining whether tenodesis of the LHB improves results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of tenodesis of the LHB on the clinical outcome following...
Four-part fracture dislocations of the proximal humerus occurring in young age are extremely difficult fractures with a high incidence of complications. The risk of avascular necrosis is high; hence, prosthetic replacement is the treatment of choice in older patients with these complex fractures; on the other hand, the longevity of the prosthesis is the main concern in young age. Thus, every effort...
Although spondylolysis is found in 6% of idiopathic scoliosis patients, very little was reported on management of pars defects in this group. These patients with painful spondylolysis are most eligible for direct repair of the defect rather than lumbosacral fusion in an attempt to save motion segments.The aim of this work was to analyze the clinical and radiologic outcome of pars repair in a group...
Scheuermann's kyphosis has long been treated by a two-staged fusion and instrumentation with a hybrid construct using hooks, pedicle screws, and sublaminar wires. Recent interest in all pedicle screw constructs led to its use in the treatment of Scheuermann's kyphosis. Evaluation of this newly described application is needed.To compare the results of segmental all pedicle screw constructs versus two-staged...
