Rotator interval closure: inconsistent techniques and its association with anterior instability. A literature review.

The Rotator interval (RI) is an anatomic space in the anterosuperior part of the glenohumeral joint. An incompetent or lax RI has been implicated in various conditions of shoulder instability and therefore RI has been frequently touted as an area that is important in preserving stability of the shoulder. Biomechanical studies have shown that repair of RI ligamentous and capsular structures decreases glenohumeral joint laxity in various directions.

Intramedullary Insertion of the Patellar Tendon, a Rare Anatomical Variant, Its Sequelae, and Surgical Management: A Case Report.

Case: We report a rare cause of patella baja in a 25-year-old man presenting with right knee pain. He was found to have patella baja and a genu recurvatum deformity. Imaging revealed an extremely unusual variant of the patellar tendon-identified to have an intramedullary tibial insertion.

Current Risk Estimate of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in Textured Breast Implants.

Background: With breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) now accepted as a unique (iatrogenic) subtype of ALCL directly associated with textured breast implants, we are now at a point where a sound epidemiologic profile and risk estimate are required. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date global review of the available epidemiologic data and literature relating to the incidence, risk, and prevalence of BIA-ALCL.

Methods: All current literature relating to the epidemiology of BIA-ALCL was reviewed.
