Article Synopsis
- A clinical practice guideline was created to assess, manage, and facilitate the return to work for adults with rotator cuff disorders in Quebec, Canada.
- The guideline includes 73 recommendations and 3 clinical decision algorithms, emphasizing the importance of a thorough initial assessment and recommending active rehabilitation over surgery for most patients.
- It highlights the need for early collaboration on return-to-work plans involving healthcare providers and the patient to ensure effective recovery and reintegration into the workplace.
To present the methods used to develop a clinical practice guideline (CPG) with recommendations endorsed by key stakeholders for assessing, managing, and supporting return to work for adults with rotator cuff disorders. Clinical practice guideline development. A steering committee composed of the research team of this project led the development of this CPG in 5 phases, which followed the standards of the NICE and AGREE II collaborations.

- The study systematically reviewed clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for managing rotator cuff disorders in adults, focusing on recommendations and their methodologies.
- Nine CPGs published from 2008 onward were analyzed using a standardized framework and assessed for methodological quality, revealing that only three had high quality.
- Key recommendations included active treatment options like exercise programs and varying opinions on pain medications and surgical approaches, highlighting the need for more rigorous and consistent guidelines in this area.
Article Synopsis
- Rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy involves the buildup of crystals in rotator cuff tendons and may be treated with ultrasound-guided lavage, though its effectiveness is still debated.
- A systematic review analyzed previous studies to determine how ultrasound-guided lavage compares to other treatments, focusing on pain relief and functional improvement.
- Results suggest that ultrasound-guided lavage might reduce pain and enhance function better than shockwave therapy and corticosteroid injections, though the evidence is considered low-quality and more research is needed.
Prolonged wait times for total hip and knee arthroplasty have deleterious effects on functional status for the awaiting patients. Telerehabilitation interventions can optimize the delivery of perioperative care. This pilot single-blind randomized controlled trial evaluates the feasibility and the potential impact on pain and disability of a telerehabilitation prehabilitation program, compared to in-person prehabilitation or usual care.

This pilot single blind randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of a telerehabilitation prehabilitation program before a hip or knee arthroplasty compared to in-person prehabilitation or to usual wait for surgery.
Methods/design: Thirty-six patients on a wait list for a total hip or knee arthroplasty will be recruited and randomly assigned to one of three groups.
