The treatment of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) osteoarthritis during shoulder arthroscopy is a discussed topic. The aim of this scoping review is to report the current recommendations regarding the management of this disorder in patients undergoing surgery for rotator cuff tears. A scoping review was performed in Pubmed\Medline and Embase in March 2017, restricted to English language literature.

- The study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with and without platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment over a 10-year period.
- A total of 38 out of 53 patients were evaluated, showing high satisfaction rates (90%) in both PRP and control groups, with good clinical results, but no significant difference between the groups.
- Despite some patients experiencing re-ruptures, the incidence was similar in both groups, suggesting that adding PRP may not significantly impact the long-term integrity of the repaired tendon.
Background: Failure of conservative treatment in patients over 70 years of age with a rotator cuff tear makes surgery a possible option, considering the increase in life expectancy and the high functional demands of elderly patients. The purpose of this systematic review of the literature was to evaluate the subjective and objective outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients over 70 years of age.
Methods: A systematic review was performed to identify all the studies reporting subjective and objective outcomes in patients aged 70 years or older undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Aim: To analyse the clinical features, laboratory data and foetal-maternal outcomes, and follow them up on a cohort of 1000 women with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS).
Methods: The European Registry of OAPS became a registry within the framework of the European Forum on Antiphospholipid Antibody projects and was placed on a website in June 2010. Thirty hospitals throughout Europe have collaborated to carry out this registry.
Background: Rotator cuff tear is a common finding in patients with painful, poorly functioning shoulders. The surgical management of this disorder has improved greatly and can now be fully arthroscopic.
Purpose: To evaluate clinical and radiological results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using 2 different techniques: single-row anchor fixation versus transosseous hardware-free suture repair.
