Abstract Rotator cuff tear including SSP (Supraspinatus) tendon tears are a very common and often painful condition with several therapeutic options such as tendon repair. Reflected by the high retear rates, the preoperative selection of patients suitable for surgery or conservative treatment, which often yields comparable results, remains difficult ...

Age‐ and sex‐specific normative values of bone mineral density in the adult glenoid
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the normative bone mineral density (BMD) of cortical and trabecular bone regions in the adult glenoid and its dependence on the subject's age and sex. We analyzed computed tomography (CT) scans of 441 shoulders (310 males, 18–69 years) without any signs of glenohumeral joint pathology.

Abstract Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is an alternative to corticosteroid (CS) injections in managing rotator cuff disease. This meta‐analysis investigated differences between PRP and CS for function and pain scores in significance and minimal clinical important difference (MCID).

Manufacture of Soft‐Hard Implants from Electrospun Filaments Embedded in 3D Printed Structures
The surgical repair of rotator cuff tendon tears can fail due to use of suture anchors that do not promote healing of the native tissues. A simple manufacturing approach is presented here that combines electrospun filaments and 3D printing to achieve biphasic scaffolds using biocompatible materials: a soft polydioxanone cuff embedded in a porous ...

A systematic literature review analysing the psychometric properties of patient‐reported outcome measures that have been used to assess upper limb pathology in children. Prospective studies in children and adolescents are required to determine which patient‐reported outcome measures are valid and reliable to be used in the paediatric population ...

Non-ergodicity of the geodesic flow on Cantor tree surfaces [PDF]
A Riemann surface equipped with its conformal hyperbolic metric is parabolic if and only if the geodesic flow on its unit tangent bundle is ergodic. Let X be a Cantor tree or a blooming Cantor tree Riemann surface. Fix a geodesic pants decomposition of X and call the boundary geodesics in the decomposition cuffs.

Association of rotator cuff degeneration and scapular anatomy with humeral head migration in rotator cuff arthropathy. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) is characterised by humeral head migration (HHM). The exact pathogenesis of HHM is poorly understood, although rotator cuff (RC) failure and scapular anatomy are thought to play an important role.

Simulation Study of the Upper-limb Wrench Feasible Set with Glenohumeral Joint Constraints [PDF]
The aim of this work is to improve musculoskeletal-based models of the upper-limb Wrench Feasible Set i.e. the set of achievable maximal wrenches at the hand for applications in collaborative robotics and computer aided ergonomics. In particular, a recent method performing wrench capacity evaluation called the Iterative Convex Hull Method is upgraded ...

Advancements in left ventricular assist devices to prevent pump thrombosis and blood coagulopathy
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)‐related blood coagulopathy: Pump thrombosis is one of the most severe adverse events caused by LVADs. The contact of blood with artificial materials of LVAD pumps and cannulas triggers the coagulation cascade. Abstract Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are
