ConclusionThis is the first study to summarize the functional outcomes of revision surgery for refractory cubital tunnel syndrome which showed to be favorable. Functional outcomes were averagely reported and varied widely. A consensus regarding the functional outcomes parameter after surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome is urgently needed.Level of evidenceIII, systematic review.

Arthroscopic treatment of posterior instability of the shoulder with an associated reverse Hill–Sachs lesion using an iliac bone-block autograft
We describe a new arthroscopic procedure that fills the reverse Hill–Sachs lesion with an iliac bone-block autograft and repairs the posterior articular capsule arthroscopically, which can stabilize the posterior shoulder. It avoids the need to detach the subscapularis tendon and can reduce the risks associated with open procedures.Level of evidenceV, technical note.

DiscussionIn years 2011 and 2012 when the surgeries captured in this retrospective study were done, rhBMP-2 was indicated for single level (L4–S1) anterior lumbar spine fusion as a substitute for autogenous bone graft in adults with DDD. The most common procedure for the treatment with rhBMP-2 was PLF (off-label use), followed by ALIF (on-label use).

Shoulder arthrodesis using a vascularized scapular pillar graft: Cadaver study and surgical technique
DiscussionThe latex injection study confirmed that the scapular pillar always has two vascularization sources: circumflex scapular artery and angular branch of the thoracodorsal artery. While there are anatomical variations, the scapular pillar shares its vascularization with the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles. It can be preserved when transferring the graft for reconstruction. Our anatomical description of shoulder arthrodesis using this composite graft allows surgeons to anticipate potential technical and anatomical problems that could be encountered during this complex surgical procedure.

ConclusionThis study compared the outcomes of three different fixation methods for unstable distal clavicle fractures. The overall union rate with any method of operative intervention was very high (98.6%), consistent with previous studies. Hook plates had a much higher re-operation rate, mostly owing to a higher incidence of hardware removal, an expected outcome owing to the prominence of these plates in the subacromial space. Contoured clavicular plates were associated with a lower incidence of irritation and hardware removal than hook plates, although one patient in this group experienced loss of fracture fixation and w...

Risk factors for dislocation after revision total hip arthroplasty with a dual-mobility cup. Matched case-control study (16 cases vs. 48 controls)
ConclusionRisk factors for dislocation consisted of a history of instability and, most importantly, abductor apparatus compromise. A constrained cup should be considererd in patients with impaired abductor apparatus. No further dislocations occurred after reduction of the first episode in 31.25% of cases. Recurrent dislocation should prompt measures to correct impaired abductor apparatus whenever possible, as well as correction of any component malposition. Whether a retentive cup should be implanted routinely remains unclear.Level of evidenceIII, matched case-control study. (Source: Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and Research)

Reliability of a new dynamic ultrasound test for quantifying first-ray mobility
The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and the inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of a new dynamic ultrasound test that quantifies TMT1 mobility and is simple to use provided a good-quality ultrasound machine is available.HypothesisThe new ultrasound TMT1 mobility test is reproducible.Material and methodsThe 32 feet of 16 consecutive patients whose first ray was considered normal were included. Ultrasonography was performed at rest and during a stress test consisting in causing TMT1 gaping by applying a distal dorsal drawer movement to the first metatarsal. The two plantar bony prominences on eith...
