Article Abstract
Objective: Perform a systematic critical appraisal of current clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for frozen shoulder.
Literature Survey: Systematic review of CPGs (PROSPERO number CRD42022368775). Inclusion criteria- CPGs written in English providing guidance on the evaluation and or treatment for frozen shoulder, traumatic injury and neurologic CPGs were excluded.Relevant studies were assessed for inclusion and selected studies were identified from PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and CINAHL databases. The search strategy was developed by a biomedical librarian, performed on October 9, 2024.
Methodology: Data were extracted from the selected CPGs and underwent quality assessment using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II.
Synthesis: The search resulted in 38,428 studies and 2 CPGs were retained for appraisal. The mean overall AGREE II score was 75% (SD = 5.7). Lowest mean scores were found in the (27% SD = 24.0) and (48% SD = 14.1) domains. The highest domain scores were found in (92% SD = 7.8) and (79% SD = 9.9). One CPG was rated as low quality based on criteria and ultimately one higher quality CPG was recommended.
Conclusion: Given the advances in research that have developed over the last decade pertaining to the evaluation and treatment of frozen shoulder there is a critical need for an up to date, evidence informed, high quality CPG in order to identify gaps in our knowledge that the global research community should address.

Aims: Our review aimed to determine the prevalence of - and factors associated with - hearing loss, oral and olfactory disease, frozen shoulder, trigger finger, and hair loss in young adults with type 1 diabetes. These conditions were selected based on research team interests, existing literature, and group discussion.
Methods: We conducted a quantitative narrative review using a systematic process to identify cohort and cross-sectional studies involving young adults with type 1 diabetes (mean age 18-30 years).
Closing Wedge Trochanteric Reduction Osteotomy for Treatment of Trochanteric Bursitis: A Case Report.

Case: A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic, left-sided trochanteric bursitis, unresponsive to conservative treatments including intensive physiotherapy, local and systemic anti-inflammatory therapy, and neuromodulation. A novel surgical approach was used, involving an adducting trochanteric closing wedge osteotomy to reduce the lateral prominence of the greater trochanter without relevantly affecting the abductor lever arm. The procedure resulted in substantial symptom relief, with excellent functional outcomes.

Abstract: The Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a rare closed degloving injury resulting from traumatic shearing forces that separate subcutaneous tissue from underlying fascia, creating a cavity filled with blood, lymph, and inflammatory exudate. Typically occurring in regions where skin can glide significantly over rigid structures, such as the thigh, MLLs present as fluctuant, boggy, sometimes painful lesions, which result from disrupted lymphatic and vascular structures. The lesion evolves through an inflammatory cascade leading to eventual encapsulation by dense fibrotic tissue.

Background: The extent to which excessive glenoid retroversion leads to increased glenohumeral contact pressures and whether these increases can be mitigated surgically is unknown.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of excessive glenoid retroversion and posterior iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) with or without glenoid osteotomy on glenohumeral contact patterns.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
