Ultrasound-guided fasciotomy for chronic exertional forearm compartment syndrome: a cadaveric feasibility study.

Objectives: Chronic exertional forearm compartment syndrome is observed in patients who engage in physical activity requiring repetitive isometric muscular effort of the wrist during prolonged grasping. Open fasciotomy was considered as the gold-standard treatment, for its ability to release all compartments. However, its invasiveness means that high-level athletes have to abstain from competition for a long period of time.

Increased operative time has a negative impact on clinical outcome in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Background: Few data are available about the impact of operative time on outcome of rotator cuff repair.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of operative time on clinical outcome and tendon healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: Patients operated on for distal supraspinatus tear in our institution between 2012 and 2018 were included retrospectively.

History of mood and anxiety disorders does not affect the outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Background: A pre-existing mood and anxiety disorder (MAD) is often present in patients with rotator cuff pathology, but its presumed negative effect on the outcomes has not been demonstrated.

Aim Of Study And Hypothesis: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how a history of MAD affects the clinical outcomes 1 year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). The secondary objectives were to evaluate how a history of MAD affects tendon healing, analgesic consumption and the occurrence of complications.
