Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Matthias P. Flury MD, et al. - Ruptures of the subscapularis tendon, isolated or combined, are rare, and the treatment modalities are controversial. Of 1345 patients who underwent rotator cuff repair in a 7-year period, 73 had either an isolated rupture of the subscapularis or a subscapularis rupture combined with rupture of the supraspinatus
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Jae-Duk Ryu MD, et al. - The purpose of this study was to investigate neovascularization and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with diabetic frozen shoulders...We postulate that VEGF is synthesized and secreted in the synovium of diabetic frozen shoulders and VEGF may have some role in the pathogenesis and neovascularization of frozen shoulders in diabetic patients
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Jonathan B. Ticker MD, et al. - The inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) was investigated by correlating the biomechanical properties, biochemical composition, and histologic morphology of its 3 anatomic regions (superior band, anterior axillary pouch, and posterior axillary pouch) in 8 human cadaveric shoulders. The overall biochemical composition of the IGHL appeared similar to other ligaments, with average water content of 80.9 +- 2.5%, collagen content of 80.0 +- 9.2%, and crosslinks of 0.715 +- 0.13 mol/mol collagen
Arthroscopy Jit-Kheng Lim F.R.C.S., et al. - Fluid extravasation is not uncommon after shoulder arthroscopy. We report a case of massive fluid extravasation that resulted in rhabdomyolysis and renal shutdown following routine shoulder arthroscopic surgery. Compartment pressures in the deltoid, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder revealed extensive subcutaneous edema and high-signal changes in the entire deltoid muscle
