Network meta-analysis comparing WALANT, locoregional, local and general anesthesia techniques in carpal tunnel release.

Purpose: To compare anesthesia techniques (WALANT (wide-awake anesthesia no tourniquet), locoregional anesthesia, local anesthesia with tourniquet or sedation) for carpal tunnel release (CTR).

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library up to May 2023. Two independent reviewers selected the studies and extracted the data.

The Use of a Suture Bridge Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in Patients Under 40 Years of Age Resulted in Successful Tendon Healing, Pain Relief, Improved Shoulder Function, and High Patient Satisfaction at a Minimum of 5-Year Follow-Up.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term clinical and imaging outcomes after arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears (RCTs) using a suture bridge technique in patients under 40 years of age.

Methods: We retrospectively identified a consecutive series of patients who were treated arthroscopically for RCTs by a single surgeon between 2016 and 2018. Both full-thickness tears and partial tears were included.

Can Surgery Be Proposed to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients With Structural Lumbar Curves Associated With Nonreducible Iliolumbar Angle?

Background: Lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) selection for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with structural lumbar curves (Lenke 3, 5, and 6) remains debated. The iliolumbar angle (ILA) measurement is useful for assessing the lumbosacral junction flexibility. If it is nonreducible, surgeons need to make a difficult choice between a potential "imperfect" L4, associated with a residual lumbosacral curve, or a more distal fusion performed later in life due to poorer functional outcomes.

Quality and stability of reduction of operated acromioclavicular dislocation using dual acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular stabilization.

Introduction: Dual stabilization is advocated in acute acromioclavicular dislocation (ACD), but has been little assessed.

Objective: This preliminary study performed clinical and radiological assessment of dual acromioclavicular (AC) and coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization in acute ACD. The study hypothesis was that dual stabilization allows satisfactory reduction that remains stable over time.
