    Abstract Background: In 1993, Kouvalchouk described an acromial bone block with a pedicled deltoid flap for the treatment of posterior shoulder instability. This procedure provides a "double blocking" effect in that the acromial autograft restores posterior glenoid bone loss and the deltoid flap functions as a muscular "hammock" resembling the sling effect of the conjoint in the Latarjet procedure. The primary aim of this study was to compare the Kouvalchouk procedure to distal tibial allograft (DTA) reconstruction for the management of posterior shoulder instability with associated bone loss, while the secondary aim was to evaluate the deltoid hammock effect. s METHODS: Ten upper extremity cadavers were evaluated using a validated shoulder testing apparatus in 0° and 60° of glenohumeral abduction in the scapular plane. Testing was first performed on the normal shoulder state and was followed by the creation of a 20% posterior glenoid defect. Subsequently, the Kouvalchouk and DTA procedures were conducted. Forces of 0N, 5N, 10N and 15N were applied to the posterior deltoid tendinous insertion on the Kouvalchouk graft along the physiological muscle line-of-action to evaluate the 'hammock" effect of this procedure. Testing was additionally performed on the Kouvalchouk bone graft with the deltoid muscle sectioned from its bony attachment. For all test states, a posteriorly directed force was applied to the humeral head perpendicular to the direction of the glenoid bone defect, with the associated translation quantified using an optical tracking system. The outcome variable was posterior translation of the humeral head at an applied force magnitude of 30N.
    Results: The Kouvalchouk procedure with the loaded deltoid flap (10N: P=0.039 and 15N: P<0.001) was significantly better at reducing posterior humeral head translation than the DTA. Overall, increased glenohumeral stability was observed with increased force applied to the posterior deltoid flap in the Kouvalchouk procedure. The 15N Kouvalchouk was most effective at preventing posterior humeral translation, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the 20% glenoid defect (P=0.003), detached Kouvalchouk (P<0.001), and 0N Kouvalchouk (P<0.001). The 15N Kouvalchouk procedure restored posterior shoulder joint stability to near normal levels, such that it was not significantly different from the intact state (P=0.203).
    Conclusions: The Kouvalchouk procedure with load applied to the deltoid was found to be biomechanically superior to the DTA for the management of posterior shoulder instability with associated bone loss. Additionally, the results confirmed the presence and effectiveness of the deltoid "hammock" effect.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to determine the optimal repair tension of the lateral collateral ligament of the elbow by performing simulated active flexion with the arm in the varus gravity loaded position using an in vitro elbow simulator.
    Methods: Eight cadaveric specimens were mounted in the varus gravity loaded orientation onto an elbow motion simulator. Four states were studied (intact, lateral collateral ligament injured, and 15 N and 20 N lateral collateral ligament repairs) with the forearm in supination and pronation. An electromagnetic tracking system was used to measure joint kinematics during active elbow flexion.
    Findings: There was no difference in ulnohumeral rotation between the intact state and the 15 N repair (P = .150 for pronation; P = 1.0 for supination) or the 20 N repair (P = 1.0 for pronation; P = .568 for supination). For varus-valgus angulation, the 20 N repair was not statistically different from the intact state (P = .059 in pronation; P = 1.0 in supination).
    Interpretation: Repair of the lateral collateral ligament following injury can restore joint kinematics with the arm in the varus position. A repair tension of 20 N was successful in restoring joint stability for simulated active motion with the forearm in pronation and supination. This study shows that when the lateral collateral ligament is repaired with adequate tension, avoidance of the varus position may not be as crucial during early motion.

    Abstract Background: Preoperative traditional software planning (TSP) is a method used to assist surgeons with implant selection and glenoid guide-pin insertion in shoulder arthroplasty. Mixed-Reality (MR) is a new technology that uses digital holograms of the preoperative plan and guide-pin trajectory projected into the operative field. The purpose of this study was to compare TSP to MR in a simulated surgical environment involving insertion of guide-pins into models of severely deformed glenoids.
    Methods: Eight surgeons inserted guide-pins into eight randomized three-dimensional-printed severely eroded glenoid models in a simulated surgical environment using either TSP or MR. In total, 128 glenoid models were used and statistically compared. The outcomes compared between techniques included procedural time, difference in guide-pin start point, difference in version and inclination, and surgeon confidence via a confidence rating scale.
    Results: When comparing traditional preoperative software planning to MR visualization as techniques to assist surgeons in glenoid guide pin insertion, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of mean procedure time (P=0.634), glenoid start-point (TSP = 2.2 ± 0.2 mm , MR = 2.1 ± 0.1 mm; P=0.760), guide-pin orientation (P=0.586), or confidence rating score (P=0.850).
    Conclusions: The results demonstrate that there were no significant differences between traditional preoperative software planning and MR visualization for guide-pin placement into models of eroded glenoids. A perceived benefit of MR is the real-time intraoperative visibility of the surgical plan and the patient's anatomy; however, this did not translate into decreased procedural time or improved guide-pin position.

    Abstract Background: The influx of people across the national borders of Ghana has been of interest and concern in the public health and national security community in recent times due to the low capacity for the prevention and management of epidemics and other public health risks. Although the international health regulations (IHR) stipulate core public health capacities for designated border facilities such as international airports, seaports, and ground crossings, contextual factors that influence the attainment of effective public health measures and response capabilities remain understudied.
    Objective: This study aims to assess the relationship between contextual factors and COVID-19 procurement to help strengthen infrastructure resources for points of entry (PoE) public health surveillance functions, thereby eliminating gaps in the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of pandemic-related interventions in Ghana.
    Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods design, where quantitative variables were examined for relationships and effect size interactions using multiple linear regression techniques and the wild bootstrap technique. Country-level data was sourced from multiple publicly available sources using the social-ecological framework, logic model, and IHR capacity monitoring framework. The qualitative portion included triangulation with an expert panel to determine areas of convergence and divergence.
    Results: The most general findings were that laboratory capacity and Kotoka International Airport testing center positively predicted COVID-19 procurement, and public health response and airline boarding rule negatively predicted COVID-19 procurement.
    Conclusion: Contextual understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic and Ebola epidemic is vital for strengthening PoE mitigation measures and preventing disease importation.
