Arthroscopic repair of full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff in patients younger than 40 years.

Purpose: Recent reports document excellent outcomes with arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears (RCT). However, full-thickness RCT are uncommon in patients younger than 40 years, and few reports document results after repair in this population. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively report results of arthroscopic repair of full-thickness RCT in patients younger than 40 years.

Arthroscopic ulnohumeral arthroplasty for degenerative arthritis of the elbow in patients under fifty years of age.

Degenerative arthritis of the elbow in patients aged under 50 years can cause disabling pain, severely restricted range of motion (ROM), and functional limitations. Open ulnohumeral arthroplasty has been demonstrated to produce satisfactory pain relief and ROM gains. We report the results of an all-arthroscopic ulnohumeral arthroplasty for degenerative arthritis of the elbow in younger patients.
