Developing a Rehabilitation Guideline (REGUIDE) for Patients Undergoing an Arthroscopic Bankart Repair After Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation, Focusing on Managing Apprehension: An International Delphi-Based Consensus Study.

We aimed to develop a consensus-based rehabilitation guideline specifically designed to reduce apprehension following arthroscopic Bankart repair after traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation. Delphi-based consensus. A comprehensive list of interventions for potential inclusion in a postoperative rehabilitation guideline was developed.

Long head BIceps TEnodesis or tenotomy in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: BITE study protocol.

Background: Optimal treatment of the diseased long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon during rotator cuff repair remains a topic of debate: tenotomy or tenodesis. A recent meta analysis revealed no difference in strength or functional outcome between treatments. The included studies varied in methodological quality, and only two were randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Efficacy of Different Rotator Cuff Repair Techniques.

The purpose of this review article is to describe the currently used techniques for rotator cuff repair and after treatment. The literature was searched for the different surgical techniques and additional treatment including: [1] full arthroscopic and arthroscopic assisted rotator cuff repair, [2] acromioplasty as an additional treatment to rotator cuff repair, [3] the use of plasma rich platelets (PRP) after rotator cuff repair, [4] the single and double row fixation techniques, [5] long head of the biceps brachii tenotomy or tenodesis with rotator cuff repair, [6] scaffolds in rotator cuff surgery, and [7] early motion or immobilization after rotator cuff repair. The rationale, the results, and the scientific evidence were reported for the eligible procedures.
