Objective To explore the effect of massage therapy guided by"corresponding compensa-tion"theory on the rehabilitation of shoulder joint function after radical resection in the patients with breast cancer.Methods Forty female patients with breast cancer after radical resection in Chongqing Municipal Hos-pital of Traditional Chinese Medicine during 2020-2022 were selected and divided into the group A and B ac-cording to the random number table method,20 cases in each group.The group A conducted the progressive functional exercise,and the group B received"corresponding compensation"massage combined with progres-sive functional exercise.Both of the two groups were treated for 20 d.Before treatment,on 20 d of treatment and after 3 months follow-up,the peak torque and total work of elbow joint flexor and extensor on the affected side were measured for evaluating the muscle force and endurance of the affected limb;the initiative joint mob-ility of anterior flexion,posterior extension,abduction and adduction of the affected shoulder joint was meas-ured to evaluate the shoulder joint mobility;the disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand scale(DASH)was used to evaluate the degree of upper limb dysfunction;the swelling recovery of the upper limb was evaluated by measuring the difference of the circumference of the upper arm.The comparative analysis was conducted.Results On 20 d of treatment and after 3 months follow-up,the elbow flexion,extensor peak torque and total work on the affected side,and shoulder mobility in all directions on the affected side were improved in both groups,moreover these indicators in the group B were higher than those in the group A with statistically sig-nificant differences(P＜0.05);the DASH score and the circumference difference of the upper arm on the af-fected side all were decreased,moreover these indicators in the group B were lower than those in the group A with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion"Corresponding compensation"massage com-bined with progressive functional exercise could promote the rehabilitation of shoulder joint function after rad-ical resection in the patients with breast cancer.
摘要
Rotator cuff tears are very common in middle-aged and older adults and are the leading cause of shoulder surgery in the population. Some patients have rotator cuff tears that are classified as irreparable tears due to the large size of the tear and severe muscle atrophy. The treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears presents great challenges. How to reconstruct the function of the shoulder joint is the key point. In this review article, authors will focus on partial repair of irreparable rotator cuff tears and tendon transfer for rotator cuff reconstruction, paying attention to its scope of application, efficacy, advantages and disadvantages, and providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND:The shoulder joint,as a non-weight-bearing joint of the human upper limb,is considered a perfect compromise between flexibility and stability.The traditional experimental mechanics research of shoulder joints has some limitations due to the complexity of internal structure,measurement techniques and ethical issues.The finite element analysis method is applied to the research of shoulder joints,which provides valuable reference conclusions for the discussion of shoulder joint diseases and the decision of surgical methods. OBJECTIVE:To review the status of finite element research in the field of the shoulder joint,and to put forward the prospect of future research. METHODS:The finite element analysis method was used to search the literature on shoulder joint complex-related diseases in PubMed,Web of Science,WanFang and CNKI databases by computer.Chinese search terms were"shoulder joint,finite element analysis,rotator cuff injury,glenoid labrum,shoulder joint replacement".English search terms were"FE,should joint,glenohumeral joint,rotator cuff tears,glenoid labrum,shoulder arthroplasty".The search period was mainly from January 2010 to January 2023.Some important documents were also tracked,retrieved and read. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the open network of model data and the establishment of relevant model databases,finite element research has become more and more standardized and reproducible.(2)The widely validated finite element model of the shoulder joint deepens our understanding of the shoulder field to enable more efficient clinical decision-making.(3)With the continuous development of computer technology and software development,future finite element research is bound to become an indispensable practical tool for clinical scientific research.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) versus functional electrical stimulation (FES) in the treatment of post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome. Methods:The randomized controlled study included 60 patients with post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome who received treatment at the Wenzhou TCM Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from July 2021 to February 2023. These patients were divided into an rTMS group ( n = 30) and an FES group ( n = 30) using a random number table method. Patients in the rTMS group were treated with rTMS, while those in the FES group were treated with FES. All treatments were performed once daily for 8 consecutive weeks. The clinical efficacy, total active movement score of the fingers, Fugl-Meyer assessment scale score, Activity of Daily Living score, modified Barthel Index score, shoulder joint range of motion, and safety were compared between the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the FES group was 86.7% (26/30), which was significantly higher than 83.3% (25/30) in the rTMS group ( Z = 0.09, P = 0.93). After treatment, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of total active movement score of the fingers and Fugl-Meyer assessment scale score ( P = 0.244, 0.262). No significant differences were found between the two groups in MBI score and ADL score (both P > 0.05). There was also no significant difference in shoulder joint range of motion between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Both rTMS and FES are highly effective for post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome. They can improve upper limb function, enhance daily living abilities, and remodel neurological functions of the brain.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic external tension band fixation versus open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of greater tubercle fracture of the humerus.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 55 patients with greater tubercle fracture of the humerus admitted to Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province from September 2019 to June 2022, including 24 males and 31 females, aged 26-80 years [(61.7±10.5)years]. Out of them, 35 patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation (open reduction group), and 20 patients were treated with external anchor tension band under arthroscopy (arthroscopy group). The operation time, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score and shoulder active range of motion (anterior flexion, abduction and posterior extension) before operation, at 1 month after operation and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. Bone healing was observed in both groups at the last follow-up. Postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-29 months [(16.9±4.0)months]. There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the VAS score, ASES score, Constant-Murley score and shoulder active range of motion between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The VAS score of the arthroscopy group was 3(2, 3)points at 1 month after operation, which was significantly lower than that of the open reduction group [4(3, 4) points] ( P<0.01). No significant difference was found in the VAS score at the last follow-up between the two groups ( P>0.05).The ASES scores of the arthroscopy group were (70.6±4.2)points and (90.2±3.7)points at 1 month after operation and at the last follow-up respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the open reduction group [(64.7±6.4)points and (87.5±4.9)points respectively] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference in the Constant-Murley score between the arthroscopy group [(71.8±4.3)points] and the open reduction group [(70.9±5.3)points] at 1 month after operation ( P>0.05), while the Constant-Murley score of the arthroscopy group was (94.1±3.1)points at the last follow-up, which was significantly higher than that of the open reduction group [(89.2±4.7)points] ( P<0.01). At 1 month after operation and at the last follow-up, ranges of motion of the anterior flexion, abduction and posterior extension were (52.7±12.3)° and (140.0±16.9)°, (57.4±8.6)° and (125.0±14.3)°, and 16(15, 19)° and 25(20, 30)° in the arthroscopy group respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the open reduction group [(42.2±5.2)° and (110.9±14.0)°, (52.8±6.0)° and (103.7±11.7)°, and 10(10, 20)° and 16(15, 25)° respectively] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At the last follow-up, it was found that bony union was achieved in both groups. There were no obvious complications such as incision infection or joint stiffnessin both groups. In the open reduction group, 2 patients had internal fixation failure within 1-3 months after operation but was treated with revision operation; 6 patients developed shoulder stiffness at 3-6 months after operation but had outpatient rehabilitation. The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the arthroscopy group [0%(0/20)] was significantly lower than that in the open reduction group [23%(8/35)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws, arthroscopic external anchor tension band fixation in the treatment of greater tuberosity fracture of the humerus has the advantages of earlier pain relief, better shoulder functional improvement, better recovery of shoulder mobility, and fewer complications.

Abstract Objective There are few studies to date reporting on outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with cohorts stratified by glenosphere size. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role that glenosphere size has on postoperative outcomes. Methods Patients who underwent reverse TSA between 1987 with minimum of 2.0 years of follow-up were included. Patients were stratified into two cohorts based on glenosphere size of 36mm or 40mm. Patients' range of motion, patient-reported outcomes, and radiographic variables (glenoid preoperative morphology, scapular notching, humeral loosening) were evaluated. Results All measurements of range of motion measurements with the exception of internal rotation saw significant preoperative to postoperative improvements within each cohort. There were no significant differences in postoperative range of motion, ASES, or VAS pain scores across the two cohorts. Overall, forward elevation improved to 134° ± 16° in the 36mm cohort and 133° ± 14° in the 40mm cohort (p = 0.47). External rotation improved to 37° ± 13° for 36mm patients and 35° ± 19° for 40mm patients (p = 0.58). In the 36mm group, internal rotation increased by 1.3 vertebral levels and 2.3 vertebral levels in the 40mm cohort. At final follow-up, the 36mm cohort had a VAS score of 2 ± 2, ASES score of 66 ± 19, and SST score of 6 ± 3. Similarly, the 40mm cohort had a VAS score of 2 ± 3, ASES score of 77 ± 28, and SST score of 9 ± 3. Conclusions Reverse TSA provides sustained improvements in range of motion and shoulder function irrespective of glenosphere size. Level of Evidence III.
Resumo Objetivo Até agora, poucos estudos relataram os desfechos da artroplastia total reversa (ATR) de ombro com coortes estratificadas pelo tamanho da glenosfera. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar o papel do tamanho da glenosfera nos desfechos pós-operatórios. Métodos O estudo incluiu pacientes submetidos à ATR de ombro desde 1987 com acompanhamento mínimo de 2,0 anos. Os pacientes foram estratificados em duas coortes com base no tamanho da glenosfera (36 mm ou 40 mm). A amplitude de movimento, os desfechos relatados pelo paciente e as variáveis radiográficas (morfologia pré-operatória da glenoide, incisura escapular e instabilidade do úmero) foram avaliados. Resultados Todas as medidas de amplitude de movimento, à exceção da rotação interna, melhoraram de forma significativa entre o período pré-operatório e pós-operatório nas duas coortes. Não houve diferenças significativas na amplitude de movimento pós-operatória, pontuação da American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES) ou escala visual analógica (EVA) de dor entre as duas coortes. De modo geral, a elevação anterior melhorou para 134° ± 16° na coorte de 36 mm e 133° ± 14° na coorte de 40 mm (p = 0,47). A rotação externa melhorou para 37° ± 13° em pacientes da coorte de 36 mm e 35° ± 19° em pacientes da coorte de 40 mm (p = 0,58). A rotação interna aumentou 1,3 níveis vertebrais na coorte de 36 mm e 2,3 níveis vertebrais na coorte de 40 mm. No último acompanhamento, a coorte de 36 mm apresentou EVA de 2 ± 2, ASES de 66 ± 19 e pontuação do Simple Shoulder Test (SST) de 6 ± 3. Da mesma forma, a coorte de 40 mm teve EVA de 2 ± 3, ASES de 77 ± 28 e SST de 9 ± 3. Conclusões A ATR de ombro causa melhoras sustentadas da amplitude de movimento e função articular independentemente do tamanho da glenosfera. Nível de Evidência III.

Abstract Objective To provide a current overview of the Bristow-Latarjet surgery in Brazil. Materials and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was based on an electronic questionnaire with 26 items, which was sent to active members of the Brazilian Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia do Ombro e Cotovelo, SBCOC, in Portuguese). The questionnaire addressed training, surgical technique, complications, and postoperative management. Results We sent the questionnaire to 845 specialists from April 20 to May 12, 2021, and 310 of them answered i in full. During their specialization, most specialists participated in up to ten Bristow-Latarjet procedures. The most frequent complication was graft fracture, while the most common technical difficulty was screw positioning. In total, 50.6% and 73.9% reported having experienced intraoperative and postoperative complications respectively; 57.1% declared performing subscapularis suture; 99.7% indicated postoperative immobilization; and 61.9% considered graft consolidation fundamental. Conclusion Most specialists participated in up to ten Bristow-Latarjet procedures during the specialization, but 13.5% of them graduated without participating in the surgery. The most frequent complication was graft fracture. The most common technical difficulty was screw positioning. Most participants prefer postoperative immobilization since they believe graft consolidation is essential to resume the practiced of sports. The highest complication rate occurred with specialists who have obtained their titles 11 to 15 years ago. In Brazil, the Southeast region is the largest producer of specialists and has the highest concentration of these professionals.

@#Introduction: Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) is a group of pathologies defined by pain and stiffness after intramuscular administration of vaccine to the upper arm and has been reported after COVID-19 vaccination. We aim to discuss its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, treatment and outcomes. Materials and methods: We retrospectively identified patients presenting with adhesive capsulitis within four weeks of administration of COVID-19 vaccine to the affected arm at our tertiary institution from March 2021 to December 2022. Result: Based on the above criteria, we identified seven cases of adhesive capsulitis, comprising one male and six female patients, with average age of 60 years. We present initial symptoms, signs and the duration from when the vaccine was administered. We have highlighted our treatment strategies as well as the clinical and functional outcomes reported by these patients after treatment. We have reported improvement in both Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and range of motion (ROM) in all our patients after nonsurgical management which included physiotherapy and, in some cases, hydrodilatation. Conclusion: SIRVA related adhesive capsulitis is rare and under-reported with limited information in current literature. This study highlights that adhesive capsulitis is a potential complication arising from improper COVID-19 vaccine administration and reinforces traditional wisdom of administering vaccinations on the non-dominant arm. Conservative treatment strategies appear to be effective, particularly hydrodilatation combined with physiotherapy, and patients are expected to have a good return of function.
摘要
The shoulder joint is the most flexible joint in the body with the largest range of motion, and the movement pattern is more complex. Accurate capture of three-dimensional motion data of the shoulder joint is crucial for biomechanical evaluation. Optical motion capture systems offer a non-invasive and radiation-free method to capture shoulder joint motion data during complex movements, enabling further biomechanical analysis of the shoulder joint. This review provides a comprehensive overview of optical motion capture technology in the context of shoulder joint movement, including measurement principles, data processing methods to reduce artifacts from skin and soft tissues, factors influencing measurement results, and applications in shoulder joint disorders.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of the modified lateral approach to the shoulder for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.Methods:A total of 64 patients with proximal humeral fractures who received treatment in Zhoushan Branch, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from May 2018 to May 2022 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into observation and control groups ( n = 32/group). The observation group was treated using a modified lateral approach to the shoulder. The control group was treated using the anteromedial approach to the shoulder. Perioperative indexes (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, hospital stay, and incision length) were compared between the two groups. Before surgery, 1 week and 3 months after surgery, the visual analogue scale score and the Constant-Murley shoulder assessment score were compared between the two groups. Before surgery and 3 months after surgery, the shoulder range of motion was compared between the two groups. The incidence of complications was also compared between the two groups. Results:The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, hospital stay, and incision length in the observation group were shorter or lower than those in the control group ( t = 7.42, 26.85, 10.90, 2.73, 10.59, all P < 0.05). At 1 week and 3 months after surgery, the visual analogue scale score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 5.80, 6.06, both P < 0.001). At 1 week and 3 months after surgery, the Constant-Murley shoulder assessment score in the observation group was (62.96 ± 12.05) points and (74.96 ± 14.52) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (56.74 ± 9.62) points and (67.88 ± 12.25) points in the control group ( t = 2.28, 2.10, both P < 0.05). After surgery, the range of motion of the shoulder joint in the observation group was greater than that in the control group, including forward flexion, backward extension, external rotation, and internal rotation ( t = 2.54, 3.19, 2.40, 4.00, all P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was 6.25% (2/32), which was significantly lower than 28.13% (9/32) in the control group ( χ2 = 5.39, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The modified lateral approach to the shoulder has a marked effect on proximal humeral fractures. The approach can improve shoulder function, shorten operation time, and decrease the incidence of complications.

Objective:To evaluate the shoulder arthroscopic treatment of avulsion fracture of humeral greater tuberosity with double-row suture bridge.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed were the 13 avulsion fractures of humeral greater tuberosity which had been treated by shoulder arthroscopic double-row suture bridge at Bone and Joint Department, Guangzhou Liwan District Orthopedic Hospital from March, 2018 to March, 2020. There were 6 males and 7 females, with an average ages of 52.3 years (from 35 to 69 years). According to the Mutch classification, all the fractures of humeral greater tuberosity were attributed to the avulsion type. Of them, 3 were simple avulsion fractures of humeral greater tuberosity and 10 were complicated with shoulder anterior dislocation which was reduced manually before operation. There were 3 obsolete avulsion fractures of humeral greater tuberosity. Regular clinic and X-ray follow-ups were carried out. At the final follow-up, the pain, range of motion (ROM) and stability of the shoulder joint were assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS), American shoulder elbow scores (ASES), and Korean shoulder scores (KSS).Results:All the patients were followed up for an average of 12.3 months (from 10 to 16 months) postoperatively. No infection or shoulder instability was observed. At the final follow-up, the abduction and elevation averaged 164.6° (from 135° to 180°), the lateral external rotation 62.7° (from 40° to 80°), the internal rotation touch back test T10 level (from L2 to T6), the VAS 0.65 (from 0 to 2.5), the ASES 90.5 (from 78 to 100), and the KSS 91.5 (from 84 to 100).Conclusion:Shoulder arthroscopic treatment of avulsion fracture of humeral greater tuberosity with double-row suture bridge is minimally invasive and allows for repair of combined injury, leading to quick postoperative recovery.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of posterior shoulder dislocation combined with reverse Hill-Sachs lesion.Methods:Two male patients were treated at Department of Joint Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University for posterior shoulder dislocation combined with reverse Hill-Sachs lesion from August to November 2022. Case 1 was a 46-year-old man, admitted 1 day after right should injury, and case 2 a 57-year-old man, admitted 2 days after right should injury. The injury was caused by electric shock in both, and their fractures were fresh with an injury area>50%. After anatomical reduction of the collapsed humeral head via the pectoralis major deltoid approach, an artificial bone was implanted and fixated with countersunk screws in both cases to reduce the shoulder joint. The Constant-Murley scale and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the functional recovery of the shoulder and pain after treatment.Results:No such perioperative complications as incision infection, brachial plexus injury or vascular injury was observed in either of the 2 patients. Reexamination 3 months after surgery showed in case 1: 110° of shoulder anterior flexion, 90° of shoulder abduction, 30° of external rotation (neutral position), 70° of internal rotation (neutral position), 70 points of Constant-Murley shoulder score, and 3 points of VAS pain score; in case 2: 130° of shoulder anterior flexion, 120° of shoulder abduction, 50° of external rotation (neutral position), 80° of internal rotation (neutral position), 70 points of Constant-Murley shoulder score, and 2 points of VAS pain score.Conclusion:For patients with posterior shoulder dislocation complicated with reverse Hill-Sachs lesion and humeral head collapse greater than 50%, open reduction and screw internal fixation combined with artificial bone grafting can achieve good short-term curative efficacy.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy between reservation and sacrifice of remnants in the footprint area in arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tear.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 32 patients with rotator cuff tear plus remnants in the footprint area (2 cm < tear size <5 cm) who had been admitted to Department of Sports Medicine, The People's Hospital of Northern Jiangsu from May 2020 to July 2021. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to reservation or sacrifice of remnants in the footprint area in arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tear. In the remnant-reservation group (16 cases): 5 males and 11 females with an age of (61.8±9.9) years, 9 left and 7 right shoulders affected, and (3.7±1.1) cm in size of rotator cuff tear; in the remnant-sacrifice group (16 cases): 4 males and 12 females with an age of (61.3±8.8) years, 8 left and 8 right shoulders affected, and (3.9±0.9) cm in size of rotator cuff tear. The 2 groups were compared in terms of visual analogue scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley shoulder function score (Constant score), and range of motion of the affected shoulder before surgery, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The ratio of bilateral abductor muscle strengths (affected side/healthy side) was analyzed and compared between the 2 groups, and the healing of the rotator cuff was evaluated by MRI at the last follow-up.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there were no significant differences in all their preoperative demographic data ( P>0.05). The 32 patients were followed up for (14.3±3.5) months after surgery. At 3 months after surgery, the VAS score in the remnant-reservation group [1.0 (0.0,1.0) point] was significantly lower than that in the remnant-sacrifice group [1.0 (1.0,1.0) point] ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in ASES score, Constant score or range of motion of the affected shoulder ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the ASES score, forward flexion, abduction and ratio of bilateral abductor muscle strengths (affected side/healthy side) in the remnant-reservation group [(96.1±4.8) points, 170.0 (170.0,170.0)°, 160.0 (160.0,170.0)°, and 85.5%±13.8%]were significantly better than those in the remnant-sacrifice group [(91.4±5.9) points, 160.0 (160.0,170.0)°, 150.0 (140.0,155.0)°, and 72.6%±16.9%] ( P < 0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in VAS score, Constant score, neutral external rotation angle, or body-side internal rotation ( P>0.05). The Sugaya grading for MRI rotator cuff healing was significantly different between the 2 groups at the last follow-up ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tear, reservation of remnants in the footprint area can significantly relieve postoperative shoulder pain, and has obvious advantages in restoration of shoulder forward flexion, abduction and abductor muscle strength, leading to better healing of the rotator cuff and the large nodule than the remnant-sacrifice technique.

Objective:To compare the clinical effectiveness between arthroscopic hollow screws combined with a suture anchor, hollow screws and proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) in the treatment of split-type fractures of humeral greater tuberosity.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 54 patients with split-type fracture of humeral greater tuberosity who had been admitted to Department of Joint Surgery, Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Affiliated to Southwest Medical University from May 2015 to August 2020. There were 17 males and 37 females with an age of (58.4±12.1) years. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into 3 groups. Group A of 18 cases was treated with arthroscopic hollow screws combined with a suture anchor, group B of 18 cases with hollow screws, and group C of 18 cases with PHILOS. The length of surgical incision, and range of shoulder motion, visual analogue scale (VAS), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score at the last follow-up were recorded and compared between the 3 groups.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general information between the 3 groups, indicating the 3 groups were comparable ( P>0.05). The surgical incision in group A [(0.7±0.1) cm] was the shortest, followed by (5.0±1.4) cm in group B, and (12.8±2.1) cm in group C, showing statistically significant differences in pairwise comparison ( P<0.05). In the 3 groups at the last follow-up, respectively, the shoulder forward flexion was 159.7°±13.4°, 154.9°±16.2°, and 160.5°±12.9°, and the shoulder abduction 149.6°±11.3°, 142.4°±12.0°, and 145.1°±10.4°, showing no statistically significant difference among the 3 groups ( P>0.05); the external rotation was 41.1°±8.1°, 38.1°±7.8° and 43.7°±6.2°, showing a statistically significant difference between groups B and C ( P<0.05); the dorsal extension was T 12 (L 5 to T 6), T 12 (L 5 to T 7), and T 12 (L 3 to T 6), showing no statistically significant difference among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among the 3 groups in the VAS score or ASES score at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Respectively, there were 2, 6, and 4 patients in groups A, B and C who developed complications, showing statistically significant differences between the 3 groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the treatment of split fractures of humeral greater tuberosity, arthroscopic hollow screws combined with a suture anchor, hollow screws and PHILOS can all relieve pain and restore joint function of the shoulder. However, arthroscopic hollow screws combined with a suture anchor are the most recommendable due to their advantages in minimally invasiveness and reduction in complications.

Objective:To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of the aged patients with unstable proximal humeral fracture (UPHF) treated with a locking plate and an intramedullary titanium mesh.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 43 aged patients with UPHF who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2017 to July 2019. There were 13 males and 30 females with an age of (71.3±10.3) years (from 60 to 83 years). All patients were treated with a locking plate and an intramedullary titanium mesh to support. The postoperative imaging measurements included changes in humeral head height (HHH) and neck-shaft angle (NSA) (the difference between 3 years after surgery and the second day after surgery, taken as an absolute value); the postoperative clinical measurements included visual analogue scale (VAS), range of shoulder motion, Constant-Murley shoulder functional score (Constant score), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and incidence of complications.Results:All patients were followed up for (39.2±2.3) months after surgery. The change in HHH at 3 years after surgery was (1.5±1.1) mm, and the change in NSA at 3 years after surgery 3.3°±2.6°. At 3 years after surgery, the VAS score was (2.2±1.3) points, the Constant score (79.2±9.1) points, and the ASES score (78.9±9.2) points; the range of forward extension was 143.2°±20.8°, the range of outward extension 139.3°±23.1°, and the range of outward rotation 55.1°±4.7°. Complications after surgery were found in 6 patients, including humeral head necrosis in 2 cases, ectopic ossification in 1 case, and infection in 3 cases.Conclusion:In the treatment of the aged patients with UPHF, a locking plate combined with an intramedullary titanium mesh can help to restore the medial column support, leading to fine radiological and clinical outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the use of medial calcar screws on the treatment of Neer type Ⅲ proximal humeral fracture with Multiloc intramedullary nailing.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 36 patients with Near type Ⅲ fracture of the proximal humerus who had received Multiloc intramedullary nailing at Department of Upper Limbs, Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital from January 2016 to December 2021. There were 6 males and 30 females with an age of (63.9±5.3) years. They were divided into 2 groups according to whether medial calcar screws had been used or not. There were 17 cases in the group without medial calcar screws and 19 cases in the group with medial calcar screws. The 2 groups were compared in terms of flexion and lifting, external rotation, internal rotation and back touch, visual analogue scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score for shoulder function (Constant score), neck shaft angle, and incidence of complications at the last follow-up.Results:There were no statistically significant significances in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability between the groups ( P>0.05). The 36 patients were followed up for 13.5(12.0,19.8) months after surgery. The flexion and lifting, external rotation, internal rotation and back touch, VAS, ASES score, Constant score, neck shaft angle at the last follow-up in the group without medial calcar screws were, respectively, 134.1°±8.4°, 32.1°±5.3°, 14.0 (13.0, 15.5) , 0.0 (0.0, 1.0), 78.2±5.2, 78.0±5.8, and 137.6°±8.1°, insignificantly different from those in the group with medial calcar screws [134.7°±6.1°, 35.0(30.0, 35.0)°, 14.0(13.0, 15.0), 1.0 (0.0, 1.0), 78.2±5.4, 76.7±4.5, and 136.9°±6.4°] ( P>0.05). Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients in each group, showing no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups ( P=1.000). Conclusion:The use of medial calcar screws has no significant impact on the postoperative shoulder function and incidence of complications in the treatment of Neer type Ⅲ fractures of the proximal humerus with Multiloc intramedullary nailing.
摘要
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) was proposed to deal with rotator cuff tear arthropathy in the 1970s and improved from 1985 to 1995 by Dr. Grammont who designed the contemporary type of reverse shoulder prosthesis successfully. The number of RSAs has grown rapidly over the past decade. Currently, the indications for RSA include, in addition to rotator cuff tear arthropathy, massive rotator cuff tears which can not be repaired, proximal humerus fractures or their sequelae, inflammatory shoulder disease, osteoarthritis with abnormal glenoid morphology, anatomic revision after failed total shoulder arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty, and shoulder tumors. Absolute contraindications to RSA include infection, complete axillary nerve palsy, neuropathic shoulder arthropathy, and glenoid bone loss. At present, the stability of the glenoid baseplate, an important factor affecting the incidence of postoperative complications, is mainly achieved by implantation of the screws for the glenoid baseplate base. Therefore, correct implantation of the screws is of great significance to reduce the complications in RSA.
摘要
The anatomy of the shoulder joint is complex. Glenoid fractures, intra-articular fractures of the shoulder, are relatively rare and often accompanied by serious injury. At present, there has been no consensus on the optimal strategies for their treatment. Insufficient knowledge and improper treatment of the surgeons may seriously affect the shoulder function of the patients to harm their quality of life. Therefore, proper handling of such fractures is a major challenge in clinic. In recent years when high-energy injuries are increasing and functional recovery after shoulder fracture is emphasized by more and more patients, great efforts have been put into the research into such fractures by orthopedic surgeons. This reviews expounds on the anatomy, diagnosis, classification and treatment of glenoid fractures, aiming to provide useful reference for the orthopaedic surgeons who deal with glenoid fractures.
