Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on the effectiveness of adding remplissage to arthroscopic Bankart repair (BR) for patients with Hill-Sachs lesions (HSL), aiming to reduce redislocation rates.
  • - A meta-analysis of 7 studies involving 837 patients found that those who received BR with remplissage had a significantly lower chance of shoulder instability recurrence compared to those who only underwent BR.
  • - Patients receiving BR+REMP showed improved forward flexion but slightly less external rotation; overall, their patient-reported outcomes were similar to those in the BR group, indicating that remplissage enhances surgical outcomes without compromising function.

: The pericruciate fat pad (PCFP) in the knee joint is still insufficiently studied despite its potential role in knee pathologies. This is the first reported study which aimed to clarify the characteristics of the PCFP in healthy individuals and contrast them with cases of post-traumatic injuries. : Conducted as a retrospective cross-sectional study ( = 110 knees each) following STROBE guidelines, it employed grayscale ultrasound with echogenicity measurement, compression elastography with elasticity measurement, and Color Doppler for blood flow assessment.
