Background: It was hypnotized that presence and larger size of os trigonum (OT) can affect flexor hallucis longus tendon (FHL), so tenosynovitis, degeneration and partial tear can be developed.
Methods: A total of 98 (Study group: 50, Control: 48) subjects included to study and compered status of FHL lesions. Sagittal length and axial width of OT were measured on MRI to determine effect of OT on FHL lesions and correlated with arthroscopic findings.
Results: FHL tenosynovitis (p: 0,025), degeneration (p: 0,01) and partial tear (p: 0.008) was identified statistically high in study group. Statistical analysis revealed that as length of OT increased, frequency of degeneration (p: 0.03) and partial tear (p: 0.00) of FHL increased.
Conclusion: Analyzes were showed that the presence of os trigonum had an important role on the FHL pathologies. Additional finding of study was to demonstrate that possibility of FHL lesion increased as length of OT extended.
Levels Of Evidence: Level 3.

Background: Tendinopathies and rotator cuff tears account for significant medical costs in Germany and are driven by degenerative collagen changes. Despite multiple treatment options, no standard exists. This study examines PRP's growing use for pain relief and tissue healing in chronic tendinopathies.

Background: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) is performed for symptomatic meniscal tears that fail conservative treatment. Patients often report pain at night, although little research has been done to evaluate corresponding outcomes.
Purpose: To (1) evaluate patients with and without preoperative nighttime pain who underwent APM and (2) assess postoperative resolution of symptoms and associated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term clinical and imaging outcomes after arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears (RCTs) using a suture bridge technique in patients under 40 years of age.
Methods: We retrospectively identified a consecutive series of patients who were treated arthroscopically for RCTs by a single surgeon between 2016 and 2018. Both full-thickness tears and partial tears were included.

The importance of repairing the subscapularis tendon to facilitate restoration of the rotator cuff force couple is obvious. However, identifying and repairing subscapularis tears can be challenging for surgeons. In this technical note, we present our preferred surgical method for Lafosse type 1, 2, and 3 and Yoo and Rhee type 1-2A and 2B subscapularis tears, providing a 3-point suture contact achieved with FiberTape (Arthrex) and knotless anchors.

Anterior shoulder pain is a common complaint often caused by pathology of the long head of the biceps such as biceps tendinitis, partial biceps tears, biceps instability, and SLAP lesions. Surgical treatment of biceps pathology includes tenotomy versus tenodesis, with tenodesis being favored in young, active patients owing to less cramping pain and superior outcomes in terms of shoulder function and cosmesis. Various surgical techniques for tenodesis of the long head of the biceps exist, with varying indications.
