Article Synopsis
- This study reviews the outcomes of repairing the long head of the biceps tendon alongside rotator cuff repairs, analyzing whether it's better to perform tenodesis in the subpectoral or suprapectoral area.
- A total of 13 studies were analyzed, revealing similar postoperative scores for both tenodesis locations, but with different complication rates: transient nerve injuries were more common with subpectoral tenodesis, while suprapectoral tenodesis was associated with persistent pain and "Popeye deformity."
- The findings suggest that both approaches yield similar effectiveness, but the choice of location may influence the type and frequency of complications encountered post-surgery.
Background Although rare, pathological fractures may occur in primary bone sarcomas. There have been studies reporting that such patients have a poorer prognosis than those without a pathological fracture. This study investigates the impact of pathological fractures on surgery, morbidity, functional and oncological outcomes in patients with primary bone sarcomas.

The study included 42 patients who were operated for a bone sarcoma of the distal femur at our clinic between 2016 and 2018. The recorded parameters included the demographic characteristics of the patients, tumor diagnosis, tumor side, total tumor volume, tumor soft tissue component volume, tumor soft tissue component volume-to-total tumor volume ratio, tumor localization by MR imaging, the need for soft tissue reconstruction, the muscles used for soft tissue reconstruction, the biopsy site, and the biopsy type.

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, 79 consecutive patients (41 females, 38 males; mean age=39 years; age range=19-62 years) who were diagnosed and treated for GCTB between 2005 and 2017 were identified from hospital medical records. All patients were treated by intralesional extended curettage using high-speed burr, electrocauterization of the cavity, and filling the defect with PMMA.
Background: Capitellum fractures are rare in adolescents, and information in literature is still limited. The purpose of this study was to report the mid-term and long-term functional and radiographic results of 13 surgically treated adolescent capitellum fractures in a level I trauma center.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients aged 10 to 16 years, who underwent surgery for a capitellum fracture and were followed up for at least 12 months.
