The early effects of tendon transfers and open capsulorrhaphy on glenohumeral deformity in brachial plexus birth palsy. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Persistent muscle imbalance and soft-tissue contractures can lead to progressive glenohumeral joint dysplasia in patients with brachial plexus birth palsy. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the effects of tendon ... Read more...

Factors influencing intra-articular fluid temperature profiles with radiofrequency ablation.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency ablation devices are being used increasingly in arthroscopic surgery. However, there are concerns that excessive temperatures may damage the articular cartilage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the temperature ... Read more...

Correlation of radiographic muscle cross-sectional area with glenohumeral deformity in children with brachial plexus birth palsy.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Muscle imbalance about the shoulder in children with persistent brachial plexus birth palsy is thought to contribute to glenohumeral joint deformity. We quantified cross-sectional areas of the internal and external rotator muscles in the ... Read more...
