To analyze the clinical outcomes of patients with a midsubstance capsular tear for anterior shoulder instability, 21 shoulders with a midsubstance tear were reviewed. There were 7 isolated midsubstance tears (group I) and 14 combined midsubstance tears with Bankart lesions (group II). The Rowe score averaged 92.3 points with 6 excellent and 1 good one in group I. Group II scored 86.3 points with 8 excellent, 3 good, 2 fair, and 1 poor (P = .184). The Rowe score averaged 89.8 points for the cases with an arthroscopic procedure and 86.9 points with an open repair (P = .542). At the last follow-up, forward elevation increased by 6 degrees in group I and 8 degrees in group II (P = .432). External rotation decreased by 8 degrees and 16 degrees , respectively (P = .150). The clinical outcomes of anterior instability with a midsubstance tear were good in both groups. The loss of external rotation was greater in the cases with combined midsubstance tears and Bankart lesions than in those with an isolated midsubstance tear.

Patellar tendon rupture (PTR) is a rare and severe postoperative complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Even rarer is the intraoperative occurrence of PTR during TKA. PTR is a major complication as it can lead to chronic disability, functional limitations, and postoperative morbidity.

The medial ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is the primary stabilizer against valgus load. It can tear acutely or through attritional damage as in repetitive overhead sports. Although baseball players, particularly pitchers, are the most vulnerable athletes, these injuries also occur in contact athletes, gymnasts, and javelin throwers.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Introduction: Recent advancements in surgical techniques have led to renewed interest in ACL repair, particularly for acute, proximal tears. Suture tape augmentation (STA) has emerged as a promising technique to support ACL healing while preserving native tissue and potentially improving outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of ACL repair with STA in patients with acute, proximal ACL tears.
