Recurring Dislocations? New Shoulder Repair Technique Effective When Standard Procedures Are Not

Written on December 6, 2024 - 9:49 pm | by admin

The shoulder is the most commonly dislocated joint in the human body, occurring most often in young, athletic people. New research from the University of Michigan Health System shows patients who have recurrent shoulder dislocations may benefit from surgical reconstruction using cadaver bone and cartilage to essentially ‘sculpt’ a new shoulder.

For some patients, standard stability-restoring procedures are ineffective.

“We’ve been looking at defects of the humeral head, which is the ball part of the shoulder, and the effects of those [defects] on recurrent instability following surgical repair,” says Jon Sekiya, M.D., surgeon and associate professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Continue training!

What Is Vulvar Cancer? What Causes Vulvar Cancer?

Written on December 3, 2024 - 11:58 pm | by admin

Vulvar cancer, or vulval cancer is an uncommon cancer of the outer surface area of the female genitalia. The symptoms of vulvar cancer include pain, itching and bleeding of the vulva.

The vulva is made up of the outer part of the vagina, the clitoris, and two pairs of lips surrounding the entrance to the vagina, called the labia majora (the outer pair) and the labia minora (the inner pair).

Primary vulvar cancer begins inside the vulva, and secondary vulvar cancer begins in another part of the body (usually the reproductive system), such as the cervix or ovaries, and then spreads to the vulva. Continue training!
