Comparative StudyLocked anatomic plate fixation in displaced clavicular fractures.
We aimed to evaluate the results and complications of open reduction and internal fixation by locked anatomic plates in adult midshaft clavicular fractures. ⋯ Fixation with locked anatomic plates in displaced midshaft clavicular fractures has lower complication rates. Possible postoperative complications are generally associated with implant irritation and failure. These problems can be avoided with the development in implant technology and new implant designs.

Efficacy of sonographically guided intra-flexoral sheath corticosteroid injection in the treatment of trigger thumb.
The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of sonographically guided intra-flexoral sheath corticosteroid injection in the treatment of trigger thumb. ⋯ Sonographically guided intra-flexoral sheath corticosteroid injection is an effective method in the treatment of trigger thumb and reduces the need for surgery.

Comparative StudyThe effect of morphometric relationship between the glenoid fossa and the humeral head on rotator cuff pathology.
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the morphometric association between the glenoid fossa and the humeral head on rotator cuff pathology. ⋯ There is no association between the humeral head and the glenoid articular surface which can result in rotator cuff pathology. The glenohumeral joint was determined as a compatible joint morphometrically. Therefore, if they cannot be explained by an extrinsic cause, pathologies related to the rotator cuff itself should be investigated in subjects with rotator cuff pathology.

Case ReportsCarotid sinus hypersensitivity due to shoulder sling pressure after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a case report.
The beach chair position is one of the most commonly used positions in arthroscopic shoulder surgery because of its anatomical nature and easy modifiability to open surgery. Despite these advantages, thromboembolic and neurologic complications have been reported. We report a case of carotid sinus hypersensitivity due to shoulder sling pressure after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Case ReportsTreatment of reverse Hill-Sachs lesion by autograft reconstruction.
Reverse Hill-Sachs lesion is a defect caused by the anterior compression fracture of the humeral head in posterior shoulder dislocation. We present a 34-year-old male patient with pain and limited joint mobility in the right shoulder due to a fall following electric shock 2 days prior to admission. ⋯ The patient underwent open reduction of the humeral head, elevation of the depressed osteochondral surface, reconstruction using autograft, and repair of the posterior surface of the glenohumeral joint capsule 5 days following trauma. At the 5th year follow-up, the patient had a perfect outcome when evaluated using the Constant score.
