No Abstract available.Brachial plexus lesions can significantly affect patient function. The type of management will depend on the severity of the injury as well as the anatomical location. Tendon transfers around the shoulder have emerged as an effective treatment alternative, and therefore we should consider them when faced with patients who might require it. There are various transfer techniques, within which the most frequently used are upper trapezium, latissimus dorsi and lower trapezium transfers, each with its specific indications and objectives depending on the type of patient. These surgeries aim to decrease the pain resulting from the hypotonia and glenohumeral subluxation as well as improve the range of movement of the shoulder, getting the patient to take his hand to the plane that requires to perform his daily life activities. We will provide a description of some of the most commonly used shoulder tendon transfer techniques associated with a bibliographic review and a description of our experience with these surgeries.

When there is injury to both knees of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the surgeon has the option to reconstruct both in a staggered manner or simultaneously. There are some reports and case series where the ACL is performed simultaneously. In this manuscript we present a case and the result with simultaneous reconstruction.

40-year-old male with no history of importance with bilateral ACL injury; torniquet-free surgery was performed with autograft of hamstrings, secured with endobutton and interference screws. In the postoperative period, and an accelerated program of physical rehabilitation were immediately initiated. At five months of follow-up the patient is painless, with full, symmetrical knee range of motion. No complications reported. WOMACs functional scale dropped from 35 preoperative to 6 in the last visit. Until now, simultaneous reconstruction of the LCA was a safe procedure; however, we know that our follow-up is too short to make any other assertions.

Anterior dislocation is a rare complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). There exist only three cases in the literature. None of them report disassembly of the prosthesis components. We present a morbidly obese woman who suffered an irreducible obturator dislocation of an infected total hip arthroplasty (THA), due to uncontrolled adduction during an early debridement surgery. Following unsuccessful closed reduction attempts, a Vancouver B2 periprosthetic fracture and disassembly of the prosthetic components were observed. check details Two-stage revision THA was necessary to resolve the infection and restore hip functionality. In obturator dislocation, the femoral head prosthetic can be trapped in the obturator foramen, and this may disassemble the prosthesis components during reduction maneuvers; theres also risk of periprosthetic fracture. This mandate an open reduction of the joint. Patient obesity could be a determining factor for this rare type of hip arthroplasty dislocation. Obturator dislocation is an extremely rare complication of the total hip arthroplasty, whose reductions should be handled with caution given the risks of periprosthetic fractures. In most cases, an open reduction of the joint is required.

Our work is likely to be of great interest because it offers tips for the management of this rare complication based on our experience.

The Ponseti method is an universally accepted treatment, consisting of three phases manipulation and plaster, Achilles tendon tenotomy and maintenance phase. The highest percentage of relapses occurs in the maintenance phase and the deficient family member is associated in most cases. We present a clinical case of a patient with typical clubfoot treated with the Ponseti method on four occasions without the need of surgical treatment.

Increasing life expectancies in population increase the number of patients with rotator cuff tears. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair in patients over 60 years old. We hypothesized that shoulder arthroscopy would allow significant improvements in clinical outcomes without serious complications.

We screened from our shoulder arthroscopy database patients older than 60 years old, with rotator cuff tear, and minimun 2-year follow-up. The patients were evaluated using Constant scores for clinical outcomes and Quick-DASH score for quality of life.

In total, 42 patients were enrolled in the study with a mean age of 66.7 years old (range 60 to 83). A double-row repair was indicated in 25 patients (59.5%), and single-row repair in 17 patients (40.5%). As associated injuries we found proximal biceps pathology in 31 patients (48.4%), subscapularis tears in 24 patients (37.5%), and SLAP tears in 3 patients (7.1%). Mean follow-up was 32.4 months. Constant scores improved from 48.3 preoperatively to 87.2 at final follow-up. Quick-DASH decreased from 52.5 preoperatively to 11.0 at final follow-up.

Arthroscopy cuff repair in patients older than 60 years old provides satisfactory clinical outcomes without morbidity at medium follow-up.
