Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases worldwide, leading to complications, mortality, and significant healthcare expenditures, which impose a substantial social and financial burden globally. A diabetic environment can induce metabolic changes, negatively affecting tendon homeostasis, leading to alterations in biomechanical properties and histopathology. Numerous studies have investigated the mechanisms through which diabetes exerts pathological effects on tendons, including increased free radical production, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, deposition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and microvascular changes.

- The coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction (CLR) technique, popular for treating acromioclavicular joint dislocations, has potential complications like clavicle and coracoid fractures, and implant failures, prompting a study on clavicular tunnel widening (CTW).
- A retrospective analysis of 84 patients from a larger group who underwent single-bundle CLR provided data on post-operative measures, including CT width and coracoclavicular distance at 6 months.
- The findings indicated that both CT width and coracoclavicular distance increased significantly by the 6-month follow-up, but no notable differences in CTW were observed based on factors like sex, injury causes, or Rockwood classification.
Objective: To describe the disease burden of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) globally, regionally, and in 204 countries by age, sex, and sociodemographic index (SDI) from 1990 to 2019, and to explore cross-national inequalities across SDI.
Methods: The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database collected data on KOA worldwide from 1990 to 2019, including prevalence, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs). The average annual percentage change (AAPC) was used to measure temporal trends.
Background: Open debridement remains the gold standard for the clinical treatment of post-traumatic elbow stiffness. However, postoperative complications, such as re-contraction and heterotopic ossification of the elbow joint, are highly prevalent. Hinged external fixation appears to offer the potential for greater improvement of joint function and reduction of complications.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of TightRope system combined with Locking-Loop biplane anatomical reconstruction technique in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
Methods: A clinical data of 28 patients with acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation who met the selection criteria and admitted between June 2018 and December 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 18 males and 10 females, with an average age of 47.
