Ulnar Nerve Management in Complex Elbow Dislocations: A Retrospective Monocentric Study
The ulnar nerve’s unique anatomy makes it vulnerable to complex elbow dislocations. Depending on the nature of the injury, the clinical treatment and outcomes related to the nerve may vary. Unfortunately, the current literature provides limited and fragmented information on managing the ulnar nerve and the incidence of neuropathy in complex elbow dislocations. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of ulnar nerve pain and its relationship with transposition.
7 Simple Wrist Strengthening Exercises
Wrist strengthening exercises make the wrist muscles stronger, and improve the flexibility and range of motion of your wrist joints and tendons. People who may benefit from wrist-strengthening exercises include athletes such as boxers, gymnasts, and tennis players.

Surgical Management of Lateral Epicondylitis: A Scoping Review of Published Literature
Surgical intervention for lateral epicondylitis remains a controversial topic, with its purpose being debated. Recent guidelines have concluded no benefit from surgery when compared to conservative management.
Long-term, clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair may be improved with concomitant acromioplasty in patients with a Type III acromion
In theory, extrinsic anterolateral acromial impingement of the rotator cuff can contribute to cuff tearing. Thus, acromioplasty may be performed concomitantly with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). A review of recent randomized controlled trials confirms that patient long-term outcomes after ARCR is superior when acromioplasty is performed, when compared to no concomitant acromioplasty, while complication and retear rates are similar.
