X-ray analytics in motion: Dynamic 3D diagnosis for unstable shoulders
After a shoulder injury has been treated, patients are often left with a feeling of insecurity—many of them report that their shoulder "doesn't hold" or "slips out easily." When diagnosing shoulder instabilities, doctors often have to rely on these subjective assessments. The reason: Conventional imaging methods do not capture the movement of the shoulder.
Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case–control study
Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular treatment, its efficacy in patients with failed rotator cuff repair (ARCR) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical results of RSA for following failed ARCR. We hypothesized that RSA after failed ARCR would lead to improved clinical outcomes comparable to those of RSA performed without prior surgeries.
8 Types of Shoulder Surgeries
Common types of shoulder surgeries include rotator cuff repair, total shoulder replacement, and arthroscopy for conditions like frozen shoulder or impingement syndrome. In general, these and other shoulder procedures help treat shoulder injuries by repairing or replacing cartilage, tendons and ligaments, muscles, and joints.
