基于远程医疗的肩部检查的诊断准确性与MRI相比在旋转手套综合征:一个横截面研究

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

We provided a detailed protocol for a standardized method of optic nerve assessment and quantification using MRI, utilizing a widely available imaging sequence, and open access software for image analysis. Following this standardized protocol would provide meaningful data for comparison between different patients and different...

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is indicated for the treatment of conditions that cannot be treated with conventional arthroplasty or other procedures. These primarily include degenerative and incapacitating conditions with irreparable rotator cuff and loss of the normal biomechanical coupling of the shoulder.

Examination of the shoulder can be complex, because it actually consists of four separate joints: are the glenohumeral (GH) joint, the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, the sternoclavicular joint, and the scapulothoracic joint. The GH joint is primarily responsible for shoulder motion and is the most mobile joint in the body. It has been likened to a golf ball sitting on a tee and is prone to instability. It is held in place...

Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs) pose significant clinical challenges due to their complex pathology and limited treatment options. This study introduces whole rotator cable reconstruction (WRCR) using proximal biceps tendon autograft as a novel surgical technique for...

This study details procedures for establishing a chronic-like rabbit rotator cuff (RC) injury. Specifically, the injury is created in the subscapularis (SSC) muscle-tendon/myotendinous unit to mimic human RC anatomy and pathophysiology, including severe muscle fatty degeneration (FD). This protocol can be applied to study RC injuries and assess regenerative...
