Background: There are many adhesion barrier materials, cross-linked or non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA), used during surgeries.

Purpose: This study investigates the efficacy of cross-linked and non-cross-linked HA in preventing Achilles tendon adhesions. We hypothesized that non-cross-linked HA may be more effective than cross-linked HA in preventing Achilles tendon adhesions following injury and repair.

There is currently no consensus on the optimal placement of the tibial tunnel for double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiologic outcomes of double-bundle PCL reconstruction utilizing anatomic versus low tibial tunnels. We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients who underwent double-bundle PCL reconstruction between Jan 2019 and Jan 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years ( = 36).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the incidence and risk factors of wound complications in minor pediatric orthopaedic surgeries, particularly growth modification procedures.
  • It evaluated data from 622 patients, revealing a complication rate of 6.9% in growth modifications compared to 1.0% in osteotomies, highlighting the significant differences based on surgical techniques and locations.
  • Findings suggest that complications are notably higher with certain implant types and at specific surgical sites, recommending transphyseal screws as a safer option for these surgeries.

Background: Acetabular cage reconstruction with bone allografts is among the successful strategies to deal with massive acetabular bone loss. However, the nonbiological fixation nature of cages can compromise long-term success. Tantalum trabecular metal acetabular cups (TM cups) have been used in acetabular revision surgery because of their increased initial stability and good bone ingrowth features.

Whereas arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction has recently been introduced to treat irreparable rotator cuff tears with encouraging outcomes, graft options and fixation remain debated. The purpose of this article is to introduce a modified arthroscopic technique using the long head of the biceps tendon as augmentation for superior capsule reconstruction with fascia lata autograft.

Surgical management of cancer may induce stress and increase the likelihood of cancer metastasis and recurrence. Appropriate surgical and anesthetic techniques may affect the patient's outcome. Although numerous studies have been performed, conflicting results have been obtained regarding the effect of anesthetic techniques on the outcome of patients with cancer.
