Background: Approximately 1 in 5 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) will undergo a native nephrectomy in their lifetime. These can be emergent or planned and the indications can range from space for kidney transplant, pain, hematuria and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Due to the diverse nature of presentations, there is a lack of certainty about outcomes and optimal management.

Due to haplo-insufficiency ADTKD- patients produce approximately 50% of normal mucin-1.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the rate and timing of return to play (RTP) in paediatric and adolescent patients following ACL reconstruction, and to compare the outcomes between those undergoing ACL reconstruction with bone patella tendon bone autograft (BTB) and hamstring tendon (HT) autograft.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of return to play (RTP) in patients who underwent Type V superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) repair compared to patients who underwent isolated Bankart repair in the setting of traumatic anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair and SLAP repair by a single surgeon between 2012 and 2017 was performed. Additionally, these were pair-matched in a 1:2 ratio for age, sex, sport and level of pre-operative play, with those undergoing isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair alone as a control group.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes and recurrence among women who have undergone an arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with anterior shoulder instability that have undergone an arthroscopic Bankart repair between 2012-2017 was performed. Patients were followed up to assess their visual analog scale (VAS) score, Rowe score, Shoulder Instability-Return to Sport after Injury (SIRSI), and the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) and their satisfaction level.
