Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce a forthcoming Special Issue, and we invite you to contribute your valuable research on the theme of “Trends and Prospects in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery”.

Despite the remarkable strides and advancement in orthopedic and trauma surgery, in the field of upper extremities, knowledge remains limited and challenges persist.

We welcome submissions from researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field to share their insights on emerging trends and future prospects. We would like to invite authors to support us with original articles or reviews including, but not limited to, the following topics: minimally invasive approaches, arthroscopy, joint replacement, trauma, and rehabilitation. We would like to create a platform to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and shape the future trajectory of this dynamic field.

We look forward to receiving your manuscripts and collectively advancing our understanding of the trends and prospects of shoulder and elbow surgery.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to compare 24-month radiographic follow-ups of clavicular tunnel widenings (CTWs) and coracoclavicular distances (CCDs) and examine correlations between these measurements in patients following combined coracoclavicular stabilization and acromioclavicular capsule repair in treatment of acute high-grade acromioclavicular joint injury.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare 24-month radiographic follow-ups of clavicular tunnel widenings (CTWs) and coracoclavicular distances (CCDs) and examine correlations between these measurements in patients following combined coracoclavicular stabilization and acromioclavicular capsule repair in treatment of acute high-grade acromioclavicular joint injury. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the records of patients with acute Rockwood type V acromioclavicular joint injury who underwent surgery within 3 weeks after their injury. All patients had follow-ups at 3 and 6 months and 1 and 2 years. The CTWs were measured on anteroposterior radiographs between the medial and lateral borders at the superior, middle and inferior levels of the tunnels. On anteroposterior radiographs of both clavicles, the CCDs were measured at the shortest distance between the upper border of the coracoid process and the inferior border of the clavicle and reported as the CCD ratio, which was defined as the ratio of the affected and unaffected clavicles. At the final follow-ups, clinical outcomes were assessed using American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores. Results: This study included seventeen men and six women with a mean age of 47.26 ± 10.68 years. At the final follow-ups, the mean ASES score of all patients was 95.28 ± 3.62. We found a significant correlation between the increase in the CTWs and the increase in the CCD ratios (Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient range 0.578–0.647, all p-values < 0.001). Conclusions: We found long-term postoperative widening of the clavicular tunnels, which correlated positively with a gradual postoperative decline in the acromioclavicular joint alignment reductions.
