Ulnar Nerve Management in Complex Elbow Dislocations: A Retrospective Monocentric Study
The ulnar nerve’s unique anatomy makes it vulnerable to complex elbow dislocations. Depending on the nature of the injury, the clinical treatment and outcomes related to the nerve may vary. Unfortunately, the current literature provides limited and fragmented information on managing the ulnar nerve and the incidence of neuropathy in complex elbow dislocations. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of ulnar nerve pain and its relationship with transposition.
Revision Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Surgical Technique/Tips and Tricks
In the United States, the use of total shoulder arthroplasty has grown significantly over the past decade, leading to an increased need for revision total shoulder arthroplasty. The most common causes for revision include instability, rotator cuff deficiency, infection, fractures, and component loosening. Although revisions are sometimes unavoidable, thoughtful preoperative planning and proper implant positioning, among other mitigation strategies, can help reduce this risk.
