Evaluation of the results of closed kinetic chain exercises applied in the conservative treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome by means of shear wave elastography: A randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Non-selective closed kinetic chain exercises (NSKCE) and or selective closed kinetic chain exercises (SCKCE) has been shown to increase Vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) muscle power in patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). However, the superiority of the exercises to each other has not been shown. This study aimed to evaluating the effects of different exercises on the stiffness of the VMO and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles, pain management, functional scores, and thigh circumferences.

Can capsular plication compensate the lack of one suture anchor in an arthroscopic three suture anchor Bankart repair? A comparative study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the complication rates and clinical results of labral repair with two suture anchors and capsular plication, and labral repair with three suture anchor fixation in artroscopic Bankart surgery.

Methods: Sixty-nine patients (60 males, 9 females; mean age: 28.2 ± 7.
