Article Abstract
Objectives: A debate exists over the optimal approach for addressing fractures of the scapula and glenoid. The purpose of this study is to (1) quantify and compare osseous exposure using modified Judet (MJ) and classic Judet (CJ) approaches and (2) assess the change in scapular exposure after triceps release from the inferior glenoid.
Methods: Ten arms on 5 fresh-frozen torsos underwent MJ and CJ approaches. A triceps release was performed following the CJ approach in all specimens. Visual and/or palpable access to relevant surgical landmarks was recorded. Calibrated digital photographs were taken of each approach and analyzed using Image J (NIH, Bethesda, MD) to calculate the surface area of exposed bone.
Results: The MJ and CJ approaches exposed 16.8 (±7.58) cm(2) and 98.6 (±25.39) cm(2) of bone, respectively (P < 0.001). The full medial and lateral borders of the scapula were visualized in all approaches with mobilization of the teres minor. Palpable access to the full scapular spine was possible in all cadavers. Although the MJ and CJ approaches only allowed the inferior gleniod neck to be visualized in 1 and 2 specimens, respectively, performing a triceps release provided access to this structure. It also increased the CJ exposure by 12.6 cm(2) (P < 0.001) and allowed palpation of the anterior glenoid margin in 100% of specimens.
Conclusions: In conclusion, the MJ approach allows similar access to landmarks important for reduction and fixation while exposing only 20% of the surface area typically visualized with the CJ approach.

Background: Over the last 30 years, total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has become a viable surgical option for end-stage ankle arthritis. The aim of TAA is to relieve pain and preserve ankle joint range of motion, which, by definition, shields adjacent joints. Alignment is essential for the longevity and survival of TAA, since malalignment of TAA components can cause abnormal loading patterns with subsequent polyethylene wear and early implant failure.

Background: The diagnostic accuracy of neurological examination findings for identifying degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is not apparent, given the paucity of studies with appropriate control groups. In order to address this knowledge gap, we conducted a community cervical spine screening project and examined subjects without DCM or evidence of myelopathy on cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: This study included a total of 229 patients diagnosed with DCM, based on MRI evidence of spinal cord compression and improvement after surgery, and 807 controls without DCM (40 to 79 years of age) enrolled in the screening project.

Transferring the long head of the triceps nerve to the axillary nerve is a widely used technique for restoring abduction and elevation of the shoulder in adults with partial brachial plexus lesions. This procedure can be performed using either an anterior (axillary) or a posterior approach. This anatomical study aimed to compare the distance between the microsurgical suture of the nerve transfer and the axillary nerve's entry into the middle and anterior deltoid, to determine which approach provides the shortest nerve regrowth path.

Background: Nerve transfers are routinely performed in patients with brachial plexus injuries because these patients have limited alternative solutions secondary to their severe injury with substantial functional limitations. Nerve transfers offer distinct advantages over other surgical options, as they are able not only to bypass the zone of injury but also to decrease regeneration time because of the proximity of the motor end plate to the repair site. It is for this latter reason that a nerve transfer should be considered for an isolated axillary nerve injury, in which a full recovery is of paramount importance for shoulder function.
