The Influences of Subscapularis Lesion on Ultrasonography and Kinematics in Patients With Shoulder...

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Subacromial and subcoracoid impingement have been categorized as external impingement, one type of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Differentiation between subacromial impingement and subcoracoid impingement are important in determining the treatment target. The thickness of the coracohumeral ligament (CHL) may affect coracohumeral distance (CHD), which has been suggested as a possible factor in developing subcoracoid impingement with subscapularis (SSC) lesion. Evidence that indicates the existence of abnormal SSC, CHL thickness and CHD in people with SIS is limited. The purposes of the study were (1) to evaluate the correlations between CHL thickness and CHD by using ultrasonography in people with SIS with and without SSC lesion, (2) to examine the difference in SSC/CHL thickness and CHD between people with SIS with and without SSC lesion.

Preoperative Psychological Risk Factors for the Retractable Capsulitis of the Shoulder After Shoulder...

Frozen ShoulderRotator Cuff Tears

The main objective of our study is to determine whether preoperative anxiety, depression and kinesiophobia are risk factors for retractile capsulitis after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to best support these patients. patients postoperatively.

Anatomic and Clinical Long-term Follow-up of Conservatively Treated Rotator Cuff Tears

Full-thickness Rotator Cuff Tears

Study population: Patients who have been treated with physiotherapy for a potentially repairable rotator cuff tear in the period from 2002 to 2005. Study Method: At the time of diagnosis (2002 to 2005) all study patients were examined clinically, sonographically and by MRI. Some patients also completed a shoulder score. All study patients will now be reexamined, 8 to 10 years after they were diagnosed. Reexamination includes history taking, clinical examination, completion of three shoulder scores (two shoulder specific scores, one general health score), Sonography and MRI. Findings of interest are the number of relapses during follow-up, the need for surgical treatment during follow-up, the deterioration of tear anatomy (tear size, muscle atrophy, fatty degeneration) during follow-up the actual clinical shoulder condition (as given by shoulder scores) at reexamination. Study purpose: We want to assess the anatomic and clinical long-term results of physiotherapy for potentially repairable rotator cuff tears. We want to find out if tear anatomy of unrepaired rotator cuff tears deteriorates over time and if such a deterioration is associated with a development of more serious degrees of symptoms.

Sonoelastography to Predict Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator Cuff Tear

Large-to-massive rotator cuff tears accounts for 30% of all rotator cuff tears. These problems can be solved by surgeries, but only part of them can be completely repaired. The prognosis for partial repair is worse than complete repair, so evaluating the possibility of complete repair is so important that it will affect the decision of treatment. More and more recent researches focused on using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluation of fatty infiltration of rotator cuff muscles to predict the reparability of large-to-massive rotator cuff tears. However, the availability of MRI is not that good as ultrasound, so some researchers are starting to use ultrasound to predict the reparability of large-to-massive rotator cuff tears. Because it is hard to observe the tissue quality through the general ultrasound, many researchers use sonoelastography to evaluate the tissue elasticity and viability. This aim of this study is to: check the reliability of sonoelastography. associate the findings of sonoelastography to the results of MRI. build a predictive model for the reparability of large-to-massive rotator cuff tears.

Comparison of the Accuracy of Telehealth Examination Versus Clinical Examination in the Detection...

Rotator Cuff Tear

The purpose of this study is to compare how accurately a pseudo-telehealth shoulder examination diagnoses rotator cuff tears compared to a regular clinical examination. MRI is used as the gold standard.

Internal Rotation Resistance Test at Abduction and External Rotation

Rotator Cuff Tears

A new clinical test for evaluating subscapularis (SSC) integrity was described, and its diagnostic value was compared with the present SSC tests (the lift-off, bellypress, IRLS and bear-hug tests). The new test is called internal rotation resistance test at abduction and external rotation (IRRT). The test is performed at maximal 90° of abduction and maximal external rotation. Two hundred and thirty-five consecutive patients suffering from rotator cuff injury were evaluated preoperatively. Six tests were performed to assess the function of the SSC: the lift-off, belly-press, IRLS, the bear-hug, IRRT at 0° abduction and 0° external rotation (IRRT0°) and IRRT at maximal 90° abduction and maximal external rotation (IRRTM). Arthroscopic findings were the reference for diagnosing of SSC lesions.

Postoperative Biceps Strength and Electromyographic Activity After Proximal Biceps Tenotomy Versus...

Biceps Tendon Lesion

The most important functions of the biceps brachii muscle are flexion and supination of the elbow. Patients with a partial or complete rotator cuff tear often suffer a lesion of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT). The two most common surgical treatments options are tenotomy or tenodesis. This study is to assess the Supination Strength Index (SSI) (the operated side in relation to the healthy side) after proximal biceps tenotomy versus tenodesis.

Single Versus Double Row Suture Anchor Repair in Medium to Large Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator Cuff Tear

The purpose of this study is to determine whether double row repair is better in healing than traditional single row repair in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Our null hypothesis is there are no differences in clinical and structural results
