Predictability and functional impact of lateral acromioplasty using preoperative 2D planning on the correction of the critical shoulder angle (CSA) in patients with rotator cuff repair.

Background: Rotator cuff tears are highly prevalent, and their association with critical shoulder angle (CSA) has been reported. There is controversy regarding whether the morphology of the acromion influences its incidence, as well as whether acromioplasty would impact the results of a rotator cuff repair. Lateral acromioplasty does not play a decompressive role; rather, it aims to correct the deltoid vector.

Nanoscopic Distal Biceps Repair With Cortical Button and Interference Screw.

Distal biceps pathology can be addressed using different techniques, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The current trend is to move toward minimally invasive procedures based on feasibility and known clinical benefits. Endoscopy for distal biceps pathology is a safe procedure.
