Purpose: To evaluate the effect of biceps tenotomy on humeral migration and clinical outcomes in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff (RC) repair.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 60 patients who underwent arthroscopic RC repair. Patients were divided into two groups, whether they underwent concomitant biceps tenotomy or not.
Background: Postoperative pain and analgesic use after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair remain important issues that affect rehabilitation and overall outcomes.
Purpose: To evaluate the pre- and intraoperative factors that may cause prolonged duration of postoperative pain and analgesic use.
Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors for the development of re-tear following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair (aRCR).
Methods: This retrospective clinical study included 196 consecutive aRCRs with a minimum 3-year follow-up. Pre- and postoperative clinical and functional outcomes were measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), the University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Rating Scale (UCLA), the Constant-Murley Score (CMS), and the Douleur Neuropathique (DN4) questzionnaire.
Background: Few studies have specifically evaluated the development of cuff-tear arthropathy (CTA) after a rotator cuff repair in the postoperative early to mid-term. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the development of CTA, to evaluate the effect of arthropathy on functional outcomes, and to evaluate the incidence of CTA 3-10 years after an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Methods: A total of 312 patients who underwent an arthroscopic repair of a large or massive full-thickness rotator cuff tear with a minimum follow-up of 3 years were retrospectively divided into 2 groups for analysis: those with postrepair CTA (arthritic glenohumeral changes due to rotator cuff insufficiency) and those without.
Background: We investigated the clinical and functional outcomes of chronic Achilles tendon rupture reconstruction via the Lindholm technique and via the Vulpius' lengthening of the gastrocnemius.
Methods: We evaluated 15 patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture (Lindholm technique in eight patients and primary repair with the Vulpius technique in seven patients). In the final follow-up, the Hooker scale was used to measure the ankle functional capacity in all patients.
Objectives: To assess the correctibility of the muscle atrophy, proprioceptive loss, and slowing of the reflex arc around the ankle after ankle sprain with rehabilitation.
Methods: The study group consisted of 20 cases with chronic instability who had at least two episodes of ankle sprains (mean 20.6 years, range 16-32 years); control group consisted of 20 patients with same demographic characteristics but without instability.
Objective: Transpedicular spinal fixation has recently been the focus of increased attention in several institutions throughout the world, but its safety and efficacy are still important questions for orthopedic surgeons. Accurate screwing through the pedicle will avoid neurologic complications and increase the stability of the instrumentation. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the anatomic relations quantitatively between the lumbar pedicle and the adjacent dural sac and nerve roots, to determine the risky areas for neural injury during transpedicular screw placement.

Type Of Study: Retrospective clinical review.
Methods: Forty-one patients underwent operative arthroscopy for anterolateral impingement of the ankle between 1990 and 2001; the mean follow-up was 83.
