Lateral extrarticular tenodesis enhances outcomes in primary anterior cruciate ligament repair with knotless anchor: 24-Month minimum follow up.

Background: Previous studies have shown that primary repair of proximal ligament avulsion from the femoral condyle may have reasonable recovery and stability rates after repair. As a result, selecting patients more narrowly and more specifically has been recognized to improve short- and medium-term outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the potential benefits of primary repair for acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears with a proximal tear and to evaluate the effect of performing lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) in addition to primary repair on patient outcomes.

Arthroscopic Biological Augmentation With Subacromial Bursa for Bursal-Sided Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears.

Background: Augmentation with subacromial bursa has not been fully established in bursal-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PT-RCTs).

Purpose: To compare the results of acromioplasty + arthroscopic debridement versus acromioplasty + augmentation with subacromial bursa for Ellman type 2 PT-RCTs involving 25% to 50% of the tendon surface area.

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

Pectoralis major pedicle bone grafting vs. tricortical iliac grafting for Neer 4-part proximal humerus fractures: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The risk of avascular necrosis, nonunion, or malunion is high in osteoporosis-related 4-part fractures. We evaluated the results of patients who underwent plate osteosynthesis with a vascularized pectoralis major graft compared with tricortical iliac grafting to treat 4-part proximal humerus fractures.

Material And Methods: Thirty-four patients aged 50-75 years with Neer 4-part proximal humerus fractures were studied.

Shoulder Proprioception Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Unreconstructable Upper Third Fractures of the Humerus: 2-Year Outcomes.

Background: Proximal humerus fractures may be comminuted in the elderly or after injury with high-energy mechanisms. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty that may affect shoulder proprioception (rTSA) has also begun to play a part in treating acute proximal humeral fractures. In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate joint position sense (JPS) after rTSA.

Achilles tendon-splitting approach and double-row suture anchor repair for Haglund syndrome.

Background: Haglund syndrom is characterized as a painful posterosuperior deformity of the heel with possible causes as tight Achilles tendon, high-arched foot and tendency to walk on the outside of the heel. Surgical treatment may be recommended in cases where of insufficient response to nonoperative treatment. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of central Achilles tendon splitting and double-row suture anchor technique in the surgical treatment of patients with Haglund syndrome.
