Acromio-clavicular (AC) joint cysts are rare presentation of chronic shoulder pathology. These cysts may be observed secondary to either degenerative changes in the AC joint with an intact rotator cuff (type 1 cyst) or following a chronic rotator cuff tear (type 2 cyst). The latter phenomenon is known as Geyser Sign and is described by ultrasound, conventional arthrogram and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present a case of chronic rotator cuff tear presenting with a large type 2 cyst and Geyser Sign on MRI.

Background: The challenge of achieving effective tendon-to-bone healing remains a significant concern in sports medicine, necessitating further exploration. Biomimetic electrospun nanomaterials present promising avenues for improving this critical healing process.
Purpose: To investigate the biological efficacy of a novel aligned-to-random PLGA/Col1-PLGA/nHA bilayer electrospun nanofiber membrane in facilitating tendon-to-bone healing.

Background: Interest in biological augmentation for improving bone-tendon interface (BTI) healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is growing. Dermal fibroblasts, known for collagen synthesis similar to tenocytes, have shown effectiveness in BTI healing in chronic rotator cuff tear (RCT) models in rabbits. However, no human clinical trials have been conducted.

Background: The efficacy of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in promoting bone-tendon interface (BTI) healing without any carriers remains a subject of debate.
Purpose: To evaluate BMAC effects with different carriers on tendon regeneration in a rabbit model of chronic rotator cuff tear.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine if tranexamic acid (TXA) can assist in improving outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cu! repair (RCR).
Methods: The databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and Scopus were searched for all types of studies examining the e"cacy of TXA for arthroscopic RCR. Twelve studies, 10 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and 2 retrospective studies were considered eligible.

Background: The importance of the subscapularis for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been demonstrated, especially for internal rotation and stability. In a deltopectoral approach, a detachment of the subscapularis is performed (tenotomy, tuberosity peeling, or osteotomy), but the tendon is not always repairable at the end. When it is repaired, healing is obtained in only 40%-76% of the cases, with potential consequences for the outcomes.
