Does audience response system technology improve accuracy and reliability of trauma outcome judgments?
Outcome judgments obtained anonymously were significantly more divergent and less positive than those obtained nonanonymously. Anonymously derived outcome judgments may provide a better opportunity to identify adverse outcomes and thereby potentially improve trauma PI and trauma care.
This is the first study in the literature to evaluate bone density of the greater tuberosity in relation to the presence or not of a rotator cuff tear in an elderly population. Female gender, age over 70 and stage 2 cuff retraction are factors responsible for osteoporosis of the greater tuberosity of the humeral head. The osteoporosis is not severe, and normally the quality of bone of the greater tuberosity should not limit stability of suture anchors.
