Rotation

Internal and external rotation of the tibia in relation to the femur may alter tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance, a key indicator for surgical decision-making in patients with patellar instability, according to results.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Right-handed pitchers show greater external rotation, humeral retroversion and shoulder flexion in their throwing arms compared with left-handed pitchers, according to a study presented here.

WASHINGTON — In this Healio Video Perspective from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, Edward Hu, MD, discusses rotation rates of different toric IOL platforms.

Published results showed the subscapularis tenotomy and subscapularis peel approaches for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty had no differences in internal rotation strength for the belly-press position.

NEW YORK — Results presented at the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Annual Meeting showed a larger glenosphere implanted with inferior overhang may be associated with excellent postoperative range of motion after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

NEW YORK — Reverse shoulder arthroplasty performed with an alternate scapular line baseplate orientation yielded clinical improvements among patients with glenoid bone loss, according to results presented here.

Published results showed isolated open anterior release of the shoulder reduced posterior joint subluxation and improved passive and active shoulder ranges of motion in patients with brachial plexus birth palsy.

A teledermatology program at the Cleveland Clinic resulted in a reduction in visits and diagnostic concordance comparable to previously reported findings, according to results published in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

According to recently published results, there was no difference seen in clinical and radiologic outcomes with the Latarjet procedure and iliac crest bone graft transfer procedure. However, patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure had worse internal rotation capacity. Frequent donor-site sensory disturbances were seen with the iliac crest bone graft transfer procedure.

Use of patient-specific instrumentation during total knee arthroplasty did not improve the accuracy of femoral component rotation compared with conventional instrumentation, according to results.
