XXXX associated with shoulder @entity130 : a retrospective study and review of the literature.

@entity1 @entity128 @entity425 @entity5300 @entity1897 @entity4216 @entity158 @entity2065 @entity130
PURPOSE: To determine the incidence of @entity1897 in @entity1 referred to an electrodiagnostic laboratory with a history of shoulder @entity130 . The characteristics of those presenting with the triad of @entity2065 , @entity1897 , and rotator cuff tear were further examined. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective chart review of all @entity1 referred to our electrodiagnostic laboratory over a 17-month period. Requisitions, clinical histories, physical findings, electrophysiological results, and radiologic investigations were reviewed. Inclusion for analysis was a clinical history of shoulder @entity130 and electrophysiological evidence of @entity128 . RESULTS: Of 1844 @entity1 studied, 48 had @entity128 associated with @entity130 to the shoulder. Twenty presented with @entity5300 ; 17 @entity4216 (axillary nerve was most common, 47%); and 11 multiple nerve involvement. Of the multiple nerves involved, the axillary was most commonly affected (45% axillary and musculocutaneous; 36% axillary and suprascapular). Fifteen (31%) @entity1 had a history of @entity2065 , whereas 5 (10.4%) demonstrated the triad of dislocation, @entity128 , and rotator cuff tear. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1897 is an important consideration in @entity1 with shoulder @entity130 . For @entity1 presenting with @entity128 post- @entity2065 , it is important to consider a potential concomitant rotator cuff tear as an ongoing source of @entity158 or @entity425 . Similarly, a @entity1 with a rotator cuff tear following dislocation may have an associated @entity1897 .
