  • Free bone graft transfer may yield similar outcomes as Latarjet for shoulder instability

    According to published results, free bone graft transfer and the Latarjet procedure demonstrated clinically similar outcomes for patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss at 5 years. Results showed the techniques had similar rates of successful stabilization. However, neither technique prevented the progression of instability arthropathy.

  • Surgical Management of Elbow Heterotopic Ossification: Postoperative Outcomes With and Without Continuous Passive Motion Rehabilitation

    Continuous passive motion (CPM) has been an accepted method of orthopedic postoperative rehabilitation for decades. However, its efficacy remains disputed and there is a paucity of literature looking at the impact of CPM after operative management of elbow heterotopic ossification (HO). This retrospective study aims to compare long-term clinical outcomes after surgical excision of elbow HO between patients with and without postoperative CPM.

  • Primary Elbow Arthroplasty in the Management of Complex Distal Humerus Fractures

    Complex distal humerus fractures pose significant challenges in orthopedic surgery, especially when traditional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is not feasible. Primary elbow arthroplasty has emerged as an alternative treatment option for these fractures, but its application remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes, patient selection criteria, and follow-up results of primary elbow arthroplasty in the management of complex distal humerus fractures.
