J Bone Joint Surg Am 82:505-15. 2000.... - Clinical and structural outcomes of nonoperative management of massive rotator cuff tearsP O Zingg
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Zurich, Balgrist, Forchstrasse 340, Ch 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Am 89:1928-34. 2007..The natural history of massive rotator cuff tears is not well known. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and structural mid-term outcomes in a series of nonoperatively managed massive rotator cuff tears... - Tendon retracts more than muscle in experimental chronic tears of the rotator cuffD C Meyer
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Zurich, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Br 88:1533-8. 2006..Such retraction may not be a quantitatively reliable indicator of retraction of the muscle and may overestimate the need for elongation of the musculotendinous unit during repair... - The role of the subscapularis in preventing anterior glenohumeral subluxation in the abducted, externally rotated position of the armC M L Werner
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Zurich, Balgrist, Forchstrasse 340, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 22:495-501. 2007..Empirical models, however, have questioned the role of the subscapularis muscle as it has been observed to potentially support dislocation of the subluxated humeral head... - Ultrasonically implanted PLA suture anchors are stable in osteopenic boneD C Meyer
Department of Orthopaedics, , Switzerland
Clin Orthop Relat Res 442:143-8. 2006..5-mm polylactic pin achieved equal pullout strength in weak bone as the larger 5-mm titanium Corkscrew. Bone density is highly variable in humeral heads and influenced the pullout strength of both implants... - Treatment of painful pseudoparesis due to irreparable rotator cuff dysfunction with the Delta III reverse-ball-and-socket total shoulder prosthesisC M L Werner
Department of Orthopaedics, , Balgrist, Forchstrasse 340, , Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Am 87:1476-86. 2005..The procedure has a substantial potential to improve the condition of patients with severe shoulder dysfunction, at least in the short term... 
Negative muscle pennation angle as a sign of massive musculotendinous retraction after tendon tear: paradoxical function of the vastus lateralis muscleD C Meyer
Balgrist University Hospital, University of Zurich, Forchstr 340, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 19:1536-9. 2011..This observation makes the value of an in situ repair of a far retracted tendon tear with interposition of a graft questionable and emphasizes early over late anatomic surgical restoration of the muscle architecture after tendon tears...- Analysis of a retrieved delta III total shoulder prosthesisR W Nyffeler
University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Br 86:1187-91. 2004..There were, however, no histological signs of loosening of the glenoid base plate and the stability of the prosthetic articulation was only slightly reduced by the eroded rim of the cup... - Effect of tendon release and delayed repair on the structure of the muscles of the rotator cuff: an experimental study in sheepC Gerber
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Zurich, Balgrist, Forchstrasse 340, Ch 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Am 86:1973-82. 2004..The purpose of this study was to examine the amount of muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration in an animal model and to determine whether the repair of a long-standing tendon tear can reverse these changes... - Anabolic steroids reduce muscle damage caused by rotator cuff tendon release in an experimental study in rabbitsC Gerber
Department of Orthopedics, University of Zurich, Balgrist University Hospital, Forchstrasse 340, Zurich, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Am 93:2189-95. 2011..The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the administration of anabolic steroids can diminish these muscular changes following experimental supraspinatus tendon release in the rabbit... - Non-operative treatment of large anterior glenoid rim fractures after traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulderG J Maquieira
Department of Orthopaedics, Uniklinik Balgrist, Forchstrasse 340, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Br 89:1347-51. 2007.... - Levator scapulae and rhomboid transfer for paralysis of trapezius. The Eden-Lange procedureJ Romero
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Zurich, Balgrist, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Br 85:1141-5. 2003..In the presence of an additional serratus anterior palsy or weak rhomboid muscles, the procedure is less successful in restoring shoulder function... - Single-stage bilateral total shoulder arthroplasty: a preliminary studyC Gerber
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Zurich, Balgrist, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Br 88:751-5. 2006.... - Effect of selective capsulorrhaphy on the passive range of motion of the glenohumeral jointC Gerber
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Zurich, Balgrist, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Am 85:48-55. 2003..Capsulorrhaphy of the glenohumeral joint is a common surgical procedure for the treatment of instability caused by increased capsular laxity. The effect of capsulorrhaphy on the range of motion of the shoulder is poorly understood... - Internal fixation of complex fractures of the proximal humerusC Gerber
Department of Orthopaedics, , Balgrist, Switzerland
J Bone Joint Surg Br 86:848-55. 2004..The mean active anterior elevation was 156 degrees. Internal fixation of complex fractures of the proximal humerus restored good shoulder function if avascular necrosis did not develop... - A new methodology for the planning of single-cut corrective osteotomies of mal-aligned long bonesD C Meyer
Department of Orthopaedics, , Balgrist, Forchstr. 340, , Switzerland
Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 20:223-7. 2005..It allows to avoid sophisticated mathematical calculations and helps to avoid the risk for errors in planning and performing correctional osteotomies...
