    Abstract Rotator cuff (RC) tears in pediatric and adolescent athletes are rare events. In these patients, RC tears are more likely to be traumatic or related to overuse among overhead. Repeated movements of abduction and external rotation are frequent mechanisms of injury. The supraspinatus is the most commonly involved tendon and the articular-sided tears are more common than the bursal side. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the gold standard for diagnosing RC tears. Conservative treatment, arthroscopic, and open repair are all effective treatment methods depending on the type of injury. The risk of growth plate injury in these patients should be always considered when planning surgical interventions. Return to sport for competitive-level throwing athletes represents the greatest challenge in the treatment of these injuries.

    Abstract Cut-out is one of the most common mechanical failures in the internal fixation of trochanteric hip fractures. The tip-apex distance (TAD), and the calcar-referenced tip apex distance (CalTAD) are the radiographic parameters that most predict the risk of cut-out. The optimal CalTAD value has not yet been defined, but the optimal TAD value is reported as 25 mm or less. However, this cut-off is highly specific but poorly sensitive. The aim of this study was to determine highly specific and sensitive TAD and CalTAD values and shed light on the role of other clinical variables. A total of 604 patients were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. For each patient the following data were recorded: number of cut-out, AO/OTA classification, quality of the reduction, type of nail, cervicodiaphyseal angle, type of distal locking, post-operative weight-bearing, TAD and CalTAD values, and the position of the screw head in the femoral head according to the Cleveland system. The incidence of cut-out across the sample was 3.1%. The median TAD in the cut-out group was 38.72, while in the no cut-out group it was 22.16. The median CalTAD in the cut-out group was 39.34, while in the no cut-out group it was 22.19. The cut-off values for TAD and CalTAD with highest value of sensitivity and specificity for the risk of cut-out were 34.8 and 35.2, respectively. The incidence of cut-out can be reduced by performing careful minimal reduction and ensuring stable fixation by avoiding TAD > 34.8 mm and CalTAD > 35.2 mm.

    Abstract Background: Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) and transcranial motor evoked potential (tcMEP) monitoring are frequently used in spinal as well as spinal cord surgery for so-called intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), while the combination of these techniques is known as concomitant multimodal intraoperative monitoring (MIOM). The aim of this review is to collect available evidence concerning use of IONM and MIOM in cervical decompression surgery in the degenerative setting and attempt to identify the best practice to be advocated.
    Materials and methods: A review of the PubMed and MEDLINE databases and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials was performed. Studies were included if they involved patients who underwent cervical spine decompression surgery for degenerative stenosis with use of IONM or MIOM and where sensitivity/specificity was reported.
    Results: In the identified studies, the sensitivity of SSEP was estimated to be between 22 and 100% with constant specificity of 100%. In the included studies, the sensitivity of MEP was estimated to be between 78 and 100% with specificity ranging from 83.2 to 100%.
    Conclusions: On the basis of available evidence, MIOM could be a helpful tool in decompression cervical spine surgery in patients affected by degenerative spinal stenosis, since it is associated with high specificity and sensitivity for detection of intraoperative neural damage. However, evidence is still lacking regarding patient selection to identify individuals in whom monitoring is indicated.
    Level of evidence: IV (systematic review of studies with LOE II to IV).

    Abstract Introduction: Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESSC) is a frequent event in patients affected by solid tumor metastases. Current available approaches for MESCC include corticosteroids, radiotherapy and surgery. In the last few years, surgery has evolved from decompression by laminectomy alone, with the introduction of instrumentation systems by metalware (screws and hooks), and this has been associated to an improvement of clinical results compared to radiotherapy alone. Areas covered: In this narrative review, we outline the phases of management of cancer patients affected by MESSC, and discuss the timing of treatments, their impact on the Quality of life (QoL), and the relative benefits and harms of surgery and radiotherapy. Expert commentary: Despite the fact that clinical and surgical trials will be required to determine the most appropriate surgical technique and timing of surgery, we do expect a newer and more important role for radiotherapy in the management of MESCC patients in the next future. In particular, the implementation of radiotactic stereosurgery as adjuvant to decompressive surgery is expected to increase in the next few years, above all in those patients that can be candidate to the so called separation surgery.

    Abstract Bone is the fourth most common site of melanoma metastasis after lung, liver, and brain. Melanoma bone metastases typically occur in patients who already have widespread metastases in other organs. Current available approaches for bone metastases from melanoma include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy, combination therapy, and surgery. In this narrative review, we describe the management of patients affected by melanoma bone metastases, discussing the diagnostic and treatment approaches as well as their impact on survival and quality of life. Despite the fact that clinical and surgical trials will be required to determine the most appropriate treatment, we do expect a newer and more important role of multidisciplinary approach in the management of melanoma patients with bone metastases in the next future.
