Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how the condition of a muscle and tendon before hip surgery affects recovery afterwards.
- 55 patients were tested, measuring the thickness and quality of their gluteus medius tendon using ultrasound.
- Results showed that worse muscle and tendon condition meant poorer recovery results after surgery, especially for certain health scales.
Objective: The best treatment for moderately displaced radial head fractures (Mason type II) still remains controversial. In cases of isolated fractures, there is no evidence that a fragment displacement of ≥ 2 mm gives poor results in conservatively treated fractures.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 52 patients (31M, 21F) affected by an isolated Mason type II fracture, treated with a long arm cast for two weeks between 2008 and 2013.
The present study reports the clinical results of excision of a symptomatic os trigonum using an endoscopic procedure in professional ballet dancers. The hypothesis was that posterior endoscopic excision of the os trigonum would be safe and effective in treating posterior ankle impingement syndrome related to the os trigonum. Twelve professional dancers underwent excision of a symptomatic os trigonum for PAIS using a posterior endoscopic technique after failure of conservative treatment.

The aim of this study was to compare surgical versus conservative management of medium-to-large reparable rotator cuff tears.
Methods: Forty-one patients with clinical and radiological (MRI) diagnosis of medium-to-large rotator cuff tears were retrospectively identified and divided into two groups: Group A, arthroscopic repair; Group B, conservative treatment.
Background: We clinically and radiologically assessed mid- to long-term follow-up of a group of patients treated with a modified Watson-Jones technique for chronic ankle instability.
Methods: Fourteen athletes were retrospectively evaluated with physical examination, and Tegner, Good and AOFAS scales; moreover, a 2-view stress, side-to-side X-ray, was performed.
Results: All patients were followed-up at a mean of 10.
