Biomechanical comparison of a single-row versus double-row suture anchor technique for rotator cuff repair.

Background: Reestablishment of the native footprint during rotator cuff repair has been suggested as an important criterion for optimizing healing potential and fixation strength.

Hypothesis: A double-row rotator cuff footprint repair will demonstrate superior biomechanical properties compared with a single-row repair.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Introduction of intracapsular hip fractures: anatomy and pathologic features.

The morbidity, mortality, and financial burden related to intracapsular hip fractures in elderly patients in the United States will continue to increase as the population ages. An appreciation of the anatomy and pathologic features of intracapsular hip fractures is necessary for successful treatment.
