Association of Arthroscopically-Assisted Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer with Implantation of a Subacromial Balloon Spacer for Patients with Irrepar…
2022
Purpose. Massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in an active population, resulting in a pseudo-paralytic shoulder, pose a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. In an effort to avoid or delay arthroplasty surgery, other surgical strategies such as arthroscopically-assisted latissimus dorsi transfer (aLDT) or the implantation of a subacromial spacer (SAS) can be considered. The aim of the present study is to associate, for the first time, these two surgical procedures in order to demonstrate the surgical feasibility and the effectiveness of their synergistic biomechanical effect. Methods. The study group consisted of patients who underwent aLDT for a massive irreparable poste…

Adhesive capsulitis in a patient affected by KBG Syndrome
2021
Background and Case presentation: KBG syndrome is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome with variable presentation. Many physical anomalies also affect the orthopaedic field. We present a case of a young woman with diagnosis of KBG syndrome that is also affected by joint stiffness and adhesive capsulitis to the shoulders. Discussion: Many other cases have been reported to present joint stiffness and formation of keloids. Adhesive capsulitis is known to be related to autoimmune pathologies and endocrinological disorders. KBG syndrome is caused by heterozygous mutation in ANKRD11 gene and few patients with hypermobility of the joints have also been reported. Conclusions: The KBG syndrome mig…
