Partial and complete repairs of massive rotator cuff tears maintain similar long-term improvements in clinical scores.

Purpose: The authors have previously published early outcomes of arthroscopic repairs of 86 massive rotator cuff tears (mRCTs) and aimed to determine whether their clinical scores are maintained or deteriorate after 5 more years.

Methods: Of the initial series of 86 shoulders, 2 had deceased, 16 lost to follow-up and 4 reoperated, leaving 64 for assessment. The repairs were complete in 44 and partial in 20, and 17 shoulders had pseudoparalysis.

Pre-operative templating in THA. Part II: a CT-based strategy to correct architectural hip deformities.

Introduction: Pre-operative templating for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains inaccurate due to improper magnification and alignment. We aimed to describe an improved templating strategy using computed tomography (CT) to predict component sizes and offsets with greater accuracy.

Materials And Methods: We analysed 184 CT images acquired for pre-operative templating of primary THA.

Pre-operative planning in THA. Part III: do implant size prediction and offset restoration influence functional outcomes after THA?

Introduction: Few studies evaluated clinical benefits of pre-operative templating in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We investigated whether mismatch between planned and real implant sizes and medio-lateral offsets compromises THA outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed records of 184 primary THAs with pre-operative CT scans used for templating.

EUROVISCO Guidelines for the Design and Conduct of Clinical Trials Assessing the Disease-Modifying Effect of Knee Viscosupplementation.

Objectives: Hyaluronic acid viscosupplementation is a commonly used intra-articular treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). Some recent preclinical and clinical trials have demonstrated a potential for its disease-modifying effects. The goal of this expert opinion, consensus-driven exercise is to provide guidelines for the design and conduct of clinical trials assessing the disease-modifying effect of viscosupplementation in the knee.
