Isokinetic Strength and Balance Analyses for Predicting Return to Sports After the Latarjet Procedure: A Prospective Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Isokinetic torque in shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) can be considered as potential indicators for dynamic stability of the glenohumeral joint.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of 4-month isokinetic testing in predicting the 6-month return-to-sports (RTS) status after Latarjet surgery, explore its correlations with testing parameters, and identify optimal thresholds to ensure a safe RTS.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.

The Cobra sign: A marker for overestimation of tendon retraction in proximal semimembranosus tendon avulsion.

Purpose: To introduce a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sign, termed the Cobra sign, and identify its diagnostic metrics. The secondary aim was to demonstrate that this sign can be a source of false evaluation of tendon retraction in patients with proximal hamstring avulsion injury.

Method: This retrospective cohort study targeted patients surgically treated for proximal hamstring avulsion injury from January 2019 to June 2023.

Surgical Treatment of Proximal Hamstring Avulsion Injuries Compared With Nonsurgical Treatment: A Matched Comparative Study With a Mean Follow-up of >4 Years From the Proximal Hamstring Avulsion Surgery Cohort Study.

Background: Surgical outcomes for proximal hamstring avulsion injury (PHAI) are well documented, yet comparative analyses with nonsurgical approaches remain scarce.

Purpose: To compare the functional outcomes between surgical and nonsurgical interventions for PHAI.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Effect of Different Screw Materials on ACL Reconstruction With the Tape Locking Screw Technique: A Retrospective Study From the FAST Cohort.

Background: Screws for graft fixation are available in 3 different materials for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with the Tape Locking Screw (TLS) technique: titanium, poly-l-lactic acid bioabsorbable, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

Purpose: To compare the effect of the 3 different fixation materials on graft and implant survival after ACLR with the TLS technique.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Return to Sports and Activities after Arthroscopic Treatments for Rotator Cuff Lesions in Young Patients Less Than 45-Years-Old: A Systematic Review.

To evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tear (RCT) in individuals under 45 years, focusing on their ability to return to sports (RTS) and work, along with different patient-reported outcomes (PROMs). Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, this systematic review encompassed articles that studied the outcomes of arthroscopic treatment of RCT in the young population (those under 45 years old). The literature search was conducted in PubMed/Medline and EMBASE until 21 May 2024.
