Background: Various arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques are being used for the treatment of rotator cuff tears with the development of surgical instruments. However, retears after repair are not completely avoidable, and efforts to reduce retears remain a challenge.

Purpose/hypothesis: To introduce a new repair technique, the double-row modified Mason-Allen technique with a single knot, and to compare clinical outcomes and retear rates with the single-row modified Mason-Allen technique.

: Since the neck is the weakest part of the metacarpals, the most common metacarpal fracture is a neck fracture, a type which accounts for 38% of all hand fractures. Such fractures can be fixed using a variety of conventional techniques, including intramedullary pinning and K-wire pinning. However, conventional techniques involve complications, such as angulation, stiffness, and rotational deformity.

Background: To analyze the outcomes of Bone marrow aspirate concentrate and Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis (BMIC) in Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus (OLTs).

Methods: Patients with OLTs treated with BMIC from June 2013 to July 2020 were included. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Foot Function Index (FFI), and Foot Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) before treatment and at last follow-up were subjected to analysis.

Purpose: Revision hip arthroplasty is a very challenging procedure. Use of a modular distal fixation stem is one of the available options for revision arthroplasty in patients with proximal femoral bone deficiency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mid- to long-term outcomes of cementless modular distal fixation femoral stem implantation in revision hip surgery.

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a terrible complication after hip arthroplasty. Clinical feature of culture-negative PJI (CN-PJI) has not been well studied till now. In our study, we retrospectively analyzed long-term clinical results after two-stage revision arthroplasty using an antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer for CN-PJI.
