Bilateral Comparison of Anterior Shoulder Position in Elite Tennis Players by Todd Ellenbecker, E. Paul Roetert, Kristyn Petracek, Mark Kovacs, Natalia Barajas, David Bailie

“…# Background In elite tennis players, musculoskeletal adaptations in the dominant upper extremity have been reported for range of motion, strength, and scapular biomechanics. In addition to scapular dysfunction, tightness and inflexibility of the pectoral musculature have been identified as risk factors for the development of overuse shoulder injury in overhead athletes…”

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with epiphyseal involvement of the proximal femur in a child: a case report and review of the literature by Elio Paris, Giacomo De Marco, Oscar Vazquez, Sana Boudabbous, Christina Steiger, Romain Dayer, Dimitri Ceroni

“…The present case leads us to recommend that clinicians should not underestimate the occurrence of other deformities, such as the retrotorsion or flexion deformities that can compromise bone structure and the hip's biomechanics. Finally, the involvement of the epiphysis is probably more common than usually thought, introducing an additional complexity since juxta-articular lesions in weight-bearing joints may collapse, compromising articular congruence and function. …”

Iatrogenic Obturator Hip Dislocation with Intrapelvic Migration by Shachar Kenan, Spencer Stein, Robert Trasolini, Daniel Kiridly, Bruce A. Seideman

“…We report of the first periprosthetic foraminal obturator hip dislocation, which was caused iatrogenically during attempts at closed reduction of a posterior hip dislocation in the setting of a chronic greater trochanter fracture. Altered joint biomechanics stemming from a weak hip abductor mechanism rendered the patient vulnerable to this specific dislocation subtype, which ultimately required open surgical intervention. …”
