Functional and Radiologic Outcomes of Degenerative Versus Traumatic Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears Involving the Supraspinatus Tendon.

Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is among the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures. Several factors-including age, sex, and tear severity-have been identified as predictors for outcome after repair. The influence of the tear etiology on functional and structural outcome remains controversial.

Olecranon fossa osteoid osteoma excision through arthroscopy: surgical technique.

In the elbow joint, occurrences of intra-articular osteoid osteoma are uncommon. We detail the case of a 21-year-old male who experienced pain, inflammation, and a restricted ability to move his elbow. For a few months, the diagnoses was missed and the patient was treated for idiopathic synovitis.

Radiologic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes in stemless reverse shoulder arthroplasty at a mean of 46 months.

Background: The humeral stem can be a cause of problems in shoulder arthroplasty, for example, loss of bone stock, intraoperative and postoperative periprosthetic fractures, or postoperative infections involving the medullary canal. Therefore, stemless reverse shoulder arthroplasty (slRSA) has gained popularity, particularly in terms of preserving bone stock. However, there are limited data available on the midterm outcomes of slRSA.

Incidence rate of injury and injury sites in European and Swiss karate competitions: a prospective epidemiological study of 2404 fights.

Objectives: To compare the rates and injury sites among competitors in European and Swiss karate tournaments and to identify differences in these incidence rates by sex and age.

Methods: This prospective cohort study collected data from two European and four national tournaments in Switzerland between 2011 and 2019. The on-site medical staff completed an anonymised report sheet with demographic data and injury characteristics in all injuries requiring medical treatment.

The role of platelet-rich plasma in shoulder pathologies: a critical review of the literature.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary treatment that harnesses the regenerative power of the body's own platelets to promote healing and tissue regeneration. While PRP therapy has emerged as a promising option for augmenting biologic healing in the shoulder, the complexity of shoulder disorders makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the efficacy of PRP across different conditions and stages of disease. Our comprehensive review of twenty-four studies highlights the current state of PRP therapy in shoulder pathologies, revealing a wide variety of number of patients, control groups and results.

Long head of the biceps intra-articular tenotomy using needle arthroscopy under local anesthesia: preliminary results and technical note.

Purpose: Arthroscopic isolated biceps tenotomy is a procedure successfully performed in patients with degenerative rotator cuff tears which offers good clinical results. With this article, we describe the technique of biceps tenotomy with needle arthroscopy in local anesthesia and the results of first patients treated from 2018.

Methods: Thirteen patients with irreparable rotator cuff tear treated with arthroscopic needle biceps tenotomy under local anesthesia were included.

Comparison of systemic inflammatory responses of proximal femoral nail versus dynamic hip screw after treatment of patients with pertrochanteric fractures: A prospective comparative study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the differences between the induction of early postoperative inflammatory response and muscle tissue injury biomarkers after treatment of pertrochanteric fractures by dynamic hip screw (DHS) or proximal femoral nail (PFN).

Methods: In this prospective comparative study, 40 patients with AO-Müller/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) 31. A1-31.

Radiographic Cam Morphology of the Hip May Be Associated with ACL Injury of the Knee: A Case-Control Study.

Purpose: To evaluate femoral and acetabular morphology in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively collected ACL registry was performed to identify patients with pelvis radiographs before undergoing either primary or revision ACLR between January 2010 and August 2020. Alpha angle (AA), head-neck offset ratio (HNOR), lateral center edge angle (LCEA), and crossover sign (COS) were measured on the operative side.

Dual Mobility Acetabular Cup Versus Hemiarthroplasty in Treatment of Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures in Elderly Patients: Comparative Study and Results at Minimum 3-Year Follow-up.

Background: Hip fractures are serious injuries associated with relatively high mortality rates and disabilities, commonly seen in elderly persons. There is an ongoing debate regarding the advantages of various hip arthroplasty devices. This study aimed to analyze the long-term advantages of 2 different surgical procedures and assess if the dislocation rate, Harris Hip Score (HHS), and functional independence measure (FIM) are more favorable in dual mobility (DM) than those in hemiarthroplasty (HA).
