Summary
Humeral head resurfacing (HHR) allows most active patients to return to sports and work. Post-surgery, many patients successfully resume athletic activities and employment, though some may retire.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Rehabilitation
Background:
- Humeral head resurfacing (HHR) is a surgical option for shoulder conditions.
- Assessing return to sport and occupation post-HHR is crucial for patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the success rate of returning to sports and occupation after humeral head resurfacing (HHR) surgery.
- To identify factors influencing return to activity and employment post-HHR.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 50 patients undergoing CUP (HHR) arthroplasty was analyzed.
- Patients were divided into two groups based on prior sports participation (less than 5 years vs. never).
- A questionnaire assessed return to sports, work, and limitations.
Main Results:
- 50% of patients returned to sports, with a 78% return rate among those active pre-surgery.
- Most employed patients successfully returned to their occupations.
- Swimming and skiing were commonly resumed sports; few patients changed professions.
Conclusions:
- Humeral head resurfacing (HHR) facilitates successful return to sports for active individuals.
- Patients undergoing HHR can generally return to their occupations.
- Retirement status influences post-operative activity levels.

The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

01:19Muscles that Move the Head
6.0K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

01:26Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
5.7K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...
