Shoulder surgeons should rethink a common practice, new study suggests
A common practice of shoulder surgeons may be impairing the success of rotator cuff surgery, a new study from orthopedic scientists and biomedical engineers at Columbia University suggests. The work is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
What Causes Infraspinatus Pain and How Can You Treat It?
The infraspinatus muscle works alongside three other rotator cuff muscles to stabilize and move the shoulder. Occasionally, repetitive movements or other disorders can cause pain in this muscle.
Review compares analgesic interventions after shoulder surgery
The average pain trajectories after shoulder surgery vary with different analgesic interventions, according to research presented at the 49th Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting, held from March 21 to 23 in San Diego.
Deep learning enables faster, more accurate decisions for treatment of shoulder abnormalities
QUT scientists have developed a deep learning framework to detect shoulder abnormalities such as fractures in X-ray images with 99% accuracy to enable clinicians to make correct and speedy decisions in emergency situations.
Obesity associated with increased complications after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Despite similar pain and function scores, patients who were obese and underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair had increased rates of complications, readmissions and reoperations vs. non-obese patients, published results showed.
