Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with metal and biodegradable suture anchors.
Methods: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair was performed in 110 patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear. They were divided into 2 groups of 55 patients each, according to suture anchors used: metal anchors in group 1 and biodegradable anchors in group 2.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with single-row and double-row techniques.
Methods: Eighty patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear underwent arthroscopic repair with suture anchors. They were divided into 2 groups of 40 patients according to repair technique: single row (group 1) or double row (group 2).
Purpose: Our purpose was to evaluate the role of subacromial decompression in the arthroscopic repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears in a prospective randomized clinical study.
Methods: Arthroscopic cuff repair was performed in 80 patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear. They were divided into 2 groups comprising 40 patients each.
Most of the orthopaedic literature on os acromiale is focused on the clinical implications, such as impingement and rotator cuff tears; although os acromiale is present in 8% of subjects, scarce information is reported on the causes that may predispose patients to it. Our aim is to investigate whether the origin of os acromiale is related to the position of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. The acromions of 211 volunteers (control group) and 33 subjects without or with os acromiale were radiographically (axillary view) classified by the Edelson and Taitz method.
