Acute rotator cuff tears

BMJ, 2017
### What you need to know A 45 year old woman falls on ice and injures her shoulder. Assessment at her local hospital reveals bruising only and no bony injury on plain radiographs. Despite ongoing reassurance and participation in a physiotherapy programme for three months, she continues to complain of pain, weakness, and inability to raise her arm ...

Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Patient‐reported outcomes, postoperative pain and pain relief after day‐case surgery (POPPY): baseline data from day surgery practice in the UK

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Most patients undergoing elective surgery in the UK are discharged from hospital on the same day. Despite this, there is a lack of UK patient‐centred outcome measures relating to quality of recovery, pain and analgesic use. The POPPY study was a UK‐wide prospective, observational study measuring short‐ and longer‐term patient ...

Relationship between the degree of degenerative rotator cuff tear and the thickness of coracoacromial ligament on inferior surface of acromion

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Objective To investigate the coracoacromial ligament thickness measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the inferior surface of the acromion, and to find the correlation between coracoacromial ligament thickness and rotator cuff tear size. Methods

The Role of Acromioplasty for Management of Rotator Cuff Problems: Where Is the Evidence?

Advances in Orthopedics, 2012
The incidence of acromioplasty has increased dramatically in recent decades, but its role in rotator cuff surgery has been debated. Neer popularized the extrinsic theory of rotator cuff pathology, where mechanical compression of the coracoacromial arch ...

Physiological and behavioural effects of continuous remifentanil‐xylazine administration in donkeys

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Remifentanil and xylazine are used as continuous infusions to facilitate standing surgery in horses. Their use for this purpose has not been reported in donkeys. Objectives To evaluate the behavioural, sedative, and cardiorespiratory effects of continuous intravenous infusion of remifentanil and xylazine in donkeys. Study Design Non‐
