A collarbone dislocation happens when the clavicle (collarbone) is forced out of position. This injury involves the sternoclavicular joint, or SC joint, where the clavicle (collarbone) connects to the sternum (breastbone).

According to published results, use of perioperative IV dexamethasone was not associated with increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection or wound healing complications after total shoulder arthroplasty.

Despite similar pain and function scores, patients who were obese and underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair had increased rates of complications, readmissions and reoperations vs. non-obese patients, published results showed.

QUT scientists have developed a deep learning framework to detect shoulder abnormalities such as fractures in X-ray images with 99% accuracy to enable clinicians to make correct and speedy decisions in emergency situations.

The average pain trajectories after shoulder surgery vary with different analgesic interventions, according to research presented at the 49th Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting, held from March 21 to 23 in San Diego.

A common practice of shoulder surgeons may be impairing the success of rotator cuff surgery, a new study from orthopedic scientists and biomedical engineers at Columbia University suggests. The work is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

A new study has provided valuable insights into the ongoing debate surrounding two types of shoulder replacement surgery: reverse total shoulder replacement and anatomical total shoulder replacement as a treatment for patients with osteoarthritis.

Patients with femoral fractures who underwent total hip arthroplasty with lateral, posterior or anterior approaches had similar outcomes.

A prospective cohort of patients had return to sport rates up to 80%.

Patient outcome scores 6 months after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement were significantly associated with 10-year outcomes and conversion to total hip arthroplasty, according to presented results.
