The international Hip Outcome Tool 12 questionnaire (iHOT-12): an Italian language cross-cultural adaptation and validation.

Background: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are essential for evaluating disease-related quality of life. The International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT12) assesses various aspects of hip-related symptoms, function, sports participation, and social limitations. This study aimed to adapt and validate an Italian version of the iHOT12 according to COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.

Angled BIO-RSA leads to better inclination and clinical outcomes compared to Standard BIO-RSA and eccentric reaming: A comparative study.

Background: Two surgical techniques were compared : Standard BIO-RSA, performed with a glenoid eccentric reaming along with a cylindric bone graft augmentation vs. the Angled BIO-RSA, performed with a glenoid concentric reaming and a defect correction with an angled bone graft.

Methods: Patients undergoing RSA from January 2016 to April 2019, with one of the two techniques being performed, were retrospectively reviewed.

Return to Sport After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty and Hemiarthroplasty: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: One of the most frequent concerns of the increasing number of patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty is the possibility to resume sport after surgery. This systematic review determined the rate of return to sport after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA).

Materials And Methods: The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were followed to perform this systematic review.

The Efficacy of Injections for Partial Rotator Cuff Tears: A Systematic Review.

(1) Background: Even though rotator cuff tears are the most frequent tendon injuries in adults, the effectiveness of conservatively treated partial-thickness tears still remains a matter of debate. The purpose of this review is to compare corticosteroid injections to other drugs in the treatment of partial rotator cuff tears, focusing on the effectiveness of this therapeutic modality in terms of pain and shoulder functionality. (2) Methods: A systematic electronic search was performed using the PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases.

The management of the long head of the biceps in rotator cuff repair: A comparative study of high vs. subpectoral tenodesis.

Background: Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps (LHB) is commonly undertaken during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We assessed the clinical and structural outcomes after high arthroscopic tenodesis (HAT) or mini-open subpectoral tenodesis (ST). We hypothesized that the clinical and structural results after HAT and ST are similar.

The role of the subscapularis tendon in a lateralized reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: repair versus nonrepair.

Purpose: The reverse shoulder prost hesis (rTSA) is now implanted by the same percentage of anatomic shoulder prosthesis in the USA. Scapular notching and loss of extrarotation have been underlined as complication at long-term follow-up due to the Grammont design. The current trend to reduce those limits is to position both components lateralized.

Surgical management of osteonecrosis of the humeral head: a systematic review.

Purpose: Osteonecrosis of the humeral head is a rare diagnosis. The aim of this systematic review was to identify published studies and analyse the best clinical evidence available related to the surgical management of osteonecrosis of the humeral head.

Methods: A systematic electronic search was performed using the PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases.

Radiofrequency energy in the arthroscopic treatment of knee chondral lesions: a systematic review.

Introduction: Cartilage debridement is one of the recommended procedures for the management of chondral defects. Radiofrequency probes allow to debride the cartilage, but may induce subchondral bone necrosis.

Sources Of Data: Medline, Cochrane and Google Scholar were searched to identify studies on arthroscopic debridement of the articular cartilage of the knee using radiofrequency chondroplasty.

Double-Row Repair Lowers the Retear Risk After Accelerated Rehabilitation.

Background: Recently, an accelerated rehabilitation protocol after rotator cuff (RC) repair has been proposed for patients at risk of postoperative stiffness.

Purpose: To investigate, in patients undergoing early accelerated mobilization, whether double-row (DR) repair provides better clinical outcomes and a lower retear rate compared with single-row (SR) configurations.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1.

Volar locking plates versus K-wire/pin fixation for the treatment of distal radial fractures: a systematic review and quantitative synthesis.

Introduction: Volar locking plate and Kirschner wire/pin fixations are the most commonly used methods for surgical fixation of distal radius fractures.

Sources Of Data: A literature search was performed using PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Central and Embase Biomedical databases, selecting studies comparing two or more different surgical treatments including Kirschner wire fixation and volar locking-plate fixation. This systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

Obesity as a risk factor for tendinopathy: a systematic review.

Purpose. In the last few years, evidence has emerged to support the possible association between increased BMI and susceptibility to some musculoskeletal diseases. We systematically review the literature to clarify whether obesity is a risk factor for the onset of tendinopathy.
