Background: There is a relative paucity of studies examining how the superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) may alter the kinematics of the glenohumeral joint capsule itself, specifically with respect to rotation and translation in the anterior-posterior and superior-inferior planes. This then raises the possibility that the SCR may be having unintended consequences on glenohumeral kinematics. The purpose of this study was to quantify the glenohumeral joint kinematics following Fascia Lata SCR (FL-SCR).

Purpose: To evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of secured versus unsecured tensor fascia lata allografts used in an allograft spacer procedure.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
Background: Upper extremity injuries account for approximately 16.9% of football injuries in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
Purpose: To determine the epidemiology, management, and outcomes of hand/wrist injuries in collegiate football athletes so as to identify factors associated with surgical intervention and delayed return to play (RTP).
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of two surgical methods—conjoint tendon transfer and open Bankart repair—for treating shoulder instability in cadaver models with 10% glenoid bone loss, which is known to increase the risk of surgery failure.
- - Eight cadaver shoulders were tested to assess factors like range of motion and joint stiffness under various conditions: intact shoulder, Bankart lesion with bone loss, shoulder with tendon transfer, and shoulder after open repair.
- - Results showed that having a Bankart lesion increased shoulder range of motion, while the conjoint tendon transfer provided some stiffness benefits, but the Bankart repair did not maintain the range of motion compared to normal shoulders.
Purpose: To report the outcomes of routine arthroscopic meniscectomy in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football players.
Methods: NCAA athletes who underwent arthroscopic meniscectomy over 5 years were included. Players who had incomplete data, previous knee surgery, ligamentous injury, and/or microfractures were excluded.
