Article Synopsis
- This study explored the effectiveness of medical chitosan injections for treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and examined lipid metabolism in synovial tissue.
- Sixty KOA patients were divided into two groups: one receiving chitosan injections (CSI group) and one without (OA group), with various functional scoring assessments conducted to gauge outcomes.
- Results indicated that the CSI group had a longer time before needing knee surgery compared to the OA group, and there were notable differences in lipid profiles, especially lower levels of triacylglycerides in the CSI group.
The association between acromial anatomy and articular-sided partial thickness of rotator cuff tears.

Background: Acromial anatomy has been found to be correlated with degenerative full-thickness rotator cuff tears in current studies. However, research on the relationship between acromial anatomy and articular-sided partial thickness of rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) is still lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether these imaging graphic parameters exhibit any association between acromial anatomy and degenerative articular-sided PTRCTs.

Arthroscopic release can not only resolve symptoms, as previously reported, but can also greatly improve accompanying patellofemoral instability. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of arthroscopic release of GMC on patellofemoral instability and its underlying mechanism.

Methods: A total of 68 patients diagnosed with articular-sided PTRCTs who underwent rotator cuff repair between December 2014 and June 2015 were included. Of the 68 patients, 30 received footprint-preserving knotless single-row repair (group 1) and 38 received the tear completion repair technique (group 2).
