The subscapularis (SSc) is the most powerful muscle of the rotator cuff. His role in shoulder stability and shoulder motion is well studied and due to functional and frequent association with concomitant other lesions, the repair of the SSc tendon is always desirable to restore force and stability to the shoulder.

- The study aimed to analyze a large series of distal radius fractures (DRFs) to better understand the relationship between epidemiological and clinical data of affected patients.
- A total of 827 patients were examined, mostly females, with the average age being about 60 years; most fractures occurred in the left wrist and were predominantly caused by low-energy trauma, particularly outside the home.
- The findings revealed a significant correlation between the mechanisms of trauma and various fracture patterns, with specific fracture types and age-related differences in fracture causes between genders.
Purpose: To evaluate whether an anatomic dry shoulder Dexter training model surgical simulator would be effective in augmenting orthopaedic residents' skills for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Methods: Nine residents, enrolled for this prospective study, watched a video presentation about transosseus equivalent (TOE) double-row, rotator cuff repair technique, repeating the aforementioned technique twice on the simulator. The time to complete all steps to final repair, as well as the quality of the final repair, were measured.
Purpose: Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common condition causing low-back pain, disability and, eventually, neurological symptoms. This investigation aimed to investigate intervertebral disc DDD-related changes, evaluating histomorphology and cytokines secretion, and their clinical-radiological correlations.
Methods: This is a monocentric prospective observational study.
Purpose: The most effective interbody fusion technique for degenerative disk disease (DDD) is still controversial. The purpose of our study is to compare pure lateral (LLIF) and oblique lateral (OLIF) approaches for the treatment of lumbar DDD from L1-L2 to L4-L5, in terms of clinical and radiological outcomes.
Materials And Methods: 45 patients underwent lumbar interbody fusion for pure lumbar DDD from L1-L2 to L4-L5 through LLIF (n = 31, mean age 62.
