Article Synopsis
- A randomized controlled trial tested a mix of nutritional supplements (including collagen type II, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C) for managing lumbar osteochondrosis, a type of disc degeneration.
- Fifty patients were split into supplement and placebo groups, and various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were used to assess effectiveness over three months.
- While overall PROMs showed no significant differences between groups, MRI results indicated better disc volume changes in the supplement group, suggesting potential benefits from the nutraceutical mix despite no major changes in patient-reported outcomes.
Background: Despite high rates of successful outcomes after open and arthroscopic distal clavicle excision (DCE) for symptomatic acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) degeneration, some patients present with persistent symptoms and disabilities after surgical intervention. This study aims to compare radiological, functional, and subjective outcomes of open revision surgery after failed arthroscopic DCE to primary successful arthroscopic DCE.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 10 patients who underwent open DCE revision were age- and gender-matched with 10 patients who did not require revision surgery after DCE.
Background: Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR), arthroscopic partial repair (PR), and arthroscopic debridement (DB) are valid treatment options for irreparable rotator cuff (RC) tears.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic SCR with arthroscopic PR and arthroscopic DB in patients with irreparable posterosuperior RC tears. It was hypothesized that SCR would lead to superior clinical and functional outcomes compared with PR or DB.
While soft tissues are commonly damaged by mechanical loading, the manifestation of this damage at the microstructural level is not fully understood. Specifically, while rate-induced stiffening has been previously observed in cerebral arteries, associated changes in microstructural damage patterns following high-rate loading are largely undefined. In this study, we stretched porcine middle cerebral arteries to failure at 0.

Methods: In total, 25 elbows (23 patients) with recalcitrant epicondylitis longer than 12 months were included into this retrospective study. All patients underwent arthroscopic instability examination.
