Elbow fracture dislocations are complex injuries that can provide a challenge for experienced surgeons. Current classifications fail to provide a comprehensive system that encompasses all of the elements and patterns seen in elbow fracture dislocations.

The proliferation of computer 3D simulation and computer-generated guides is aimed at minimizing perforation of the glenoid vault by glenoid pegs in shoulder arthroplasty, based on assumptions that perforation leads to worse outcomes by component loosening and potential failure. We evaluated outcome...

The aim of this clinical laboratory study was to compare scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation between standard and modified exercises.
