Objectives: The aims of this study were to compare the patient and fracture characteristics, radiological, functional, and quality of life outcomes; the need for a lateral window approach and requirement of total hip arthroplasty; and complications in patients with simple and complex acetabular fractures who underwent a modified Stoppa approach through vertical and Pfannenstiel incisions.
Design: This was a retrospective comparison study.
Setting: Level 1 trauma center.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of an FGF-2 soaked collagen membrane on healing full-thickness chronic rotator cuff tears in rabbits, comparing it with a standard repair technique.
- After creating rotator cuff tears in rabbits, one group was treated with the collagen membrane while the other underwent traditional repair, but neither method showed significant differences in biomechanical strength or histological healing.
- The findings suggest that using an FGF-2 soaked collagen membrane does not enhance the healing process of chronic rotator cuff tears, prompting the need for further research into other treatment options.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes of open versus arthroscopic Latarjet procedures.
Methods: Between December 2009 to January 2015, all patients older than 18 years of age who were treated with a Latarjet procedure for chronic osseous anterior instability by a single surgeon were included in this retrospective cohort study. Range of motion, strength, Rowe, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) scores, and pain level according to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were evaluated.
