Adequate exposure is critical for any of the open surgical procedures described in this book. Although exposures may need to be modified, most of the time the same approaches are used for various procedures. Small variations on exposures also exist that are based on surgeons’ preferences. All shoulder exposures are somewhat complicated by three particular issues related to the anatomy of the shoulder region. First, the deltoid is a large muscle that wraps around the front, side, and back of the shoulder. Second, the rotator cuff, so important for shoulder function, oftentimes needs to be divided and repaired. Finally, a number of neurovascular structures are very close to the shoulder joint and at risk for injury.

During the period 1980 through 2003, 55 patients aged 3-17 years, with adductive internal rotation shoulder contractures resulted from natal and neonatal brachiplex injury were operated on. Sixty six surgical procedures including Chizhik-Poleiko, Episcopo, Meyer operations, derotation humerus osteotomy, shoulder lavsanodesis were performed. Good results were achieved in 39patients (70.9%), satisfactory results - in 15 patients (27.3%) and unsatisfactory result - in 1 patient (1.8%). It is shown that the most effective procedures are various types of tendon-muscular plasty directed to the restoration of shoulder function. The best results have been achieved in children under 10 years. Indications and contraindications to derotation humerus osteotomy are detected.

SummaryThyroid surgery is one of the more common surgical procedures in Germany. This is in contrast with the situation in some other countries, where this procedure is performed comparatively rarely. In this paper the number of thyroid surgeries in Germany is compared with other western countries (Netherlands, USA, England). In contrast to e. g. the USA and England the number of thyroid surgeries in Germany is declining, however with approximately 109/100 000/year in 2012 is still elevated (Netherlands: 16/100 000/year, USA: at least 42/100 000/year, England: at least 27/100 000/year).Possible contributing factors to this higher number of thyroid surgeries in Germany are explored. These factors include iodine deficiency, the frequent use of advanced diagnostics such as ultrasound, insufficient use of preoperative diagnostic measures such as fine needle biopsy and the practice of “defensive medicine”. How much each of these factors contributes is however unclear.
