Anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with triple flip-buttons leads to good functional outcomes and low reduction loss: a case series.

Background: The management of acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation remains controversial. Recently, anatomic coracoclavicular (CC) fixation with a double clavicular tunnel and three flip-buttons has shown promising results. This study aimed to evaluate functional and radiological outcomes in patients with high-grade AC joint dislocation treated with anatomic CC fixation using double clavicular tunnels and three flip-buttons.

Radiologic bone adaptations on a cementless short-stem shoulder prosthesis.

Background: This study evaluated the timing and location of radiologic bone adaptations related to shoulder arthroplasty using a single type of cementless short-stem shoulder prosthesis.

Methods: Uncemented short-stem shoulder arthroplasties were evaluated in 52 patients at a mean age of 71.6 years (range, 58.

Clinical and radiological results of a cementless short stem shoulder prosthesis at minimum follow-up of two years.

Purpose: Uncemented short stem shoulder arthroplasty combines the advantages of a bone-saving implantation with a straightforward revision option. Uncemented humeral long stems can be associated with stress shielding and loosening. Therefore, we analysed the clinical and radiological outcome of a short stem shoulder prosthesis with metaphyseal fixation.

Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging findings in anterior cruciate ligament grafts with and without autologous platelet-derived growth factors.

Purpose: To determine whether the use of platelet-rich plasma gel (PRPG) affects magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft during the first year after reconstruction.

Methods: A prospective single-blinded study of 50 ACL reconstructions in 50 patients was performed. In group A (study group) PRPG was added to the graft with a standardized technique, and in group B (control group) no PRPG was added.
