Introduction: The interval slide procedure (IS) has been introduced to improve mobility in massive, retracted rotator cuff tears. As clinical studies showed controversial results, the benefit of the IS is still widely discussed.

Aim: Aim of this study was to analyze the effect of IS procedure on tendon mobility in a fresh porcine cadaver model.

Materials And Methods: In 30 fresh porcine cadaver shoulders with artificial supraspinatus defect tendon mobility was tested by measuring the load (in N) during tendon reduction to the footprint at the greater tubercle using a sensor enhanced arthroscopic grasper (t1). In intervention group (N = 15) anterior IS (t2), posterior IS (t3) and intraarticular capsule release (t4) were successively performed, each followed by tendon mobility assessment. Tendon mobility of the control group (N = 15) was measured in same time schedule without intervention.

Results: Mobility did not differ between groups for native tendons (CG 28.0 ± 11.2 N vs. IG 26.6 ± 11.6 N; P = 0.75). IS procedure significantly improves mobility at about 25.2% (t1 26.6 ± 11.6 N vs. t4 19.9 ± 12.3 N; P < 0.001) compared to the native tendon and 34.1% compared to CG (CG 30.2 ± 13.7 N vs. 19.9 ± 12.3 N; P = 0.026). In posthoc analyzes, anterior IS (P < 0.001) and capsule release (P = 0.005) significantly increased mobility, whereas the posterior IS did not (P = 0.778).

Conclusion: The IS procedure results in increased supraspinatus tendon mobility in fresh porcine cadaver shoulders. However, performing the posterior IS subsequent to the anterior IS no significant improvement of mobility has been observed.

Muscle and tendon injuries are prevalent occurrences during sports activities. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is known for its rich content of factors essential for wound healing, inflammation reduction, and tissue repair. Despite its recognized benefits, limited information is available regarding PRP's effectiveness in addressing combined surgical injuries to the gastrocnemius muscle and Achilles tendon.

Background: The aims of this review were to identify and to analyze the clinical studies that used subcutaneous injections of dextrose for treating musculoskeletal pain, in order to establish an overview.

Methods: A systematic search was carried out in scientific databases including Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PUBMED and other sources, up until March 2024. We included clinical studies that used subcutaneous injections of dextrose in the treatment of individuals with musculoskeletal pain associated with tendinopathies, enthesopathy, osteoarthritis, ligament sprains, muscle strains or bursitis of various locations.

Background: Socioeconomic status has been recognized as a crucial social determinant of health influencing patient outcomes. Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a validated measure of an area's socioeconomic status. Limited data exists on the impact of ADI and clinical outcomes and complications following rotator cuff repair (RCR).

Purpose: For the athlete, anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture and its surgical management are often a turning point in their career. Success and time to return to sport are essential parameters for athletes and their support staff, so it is critical to understand the prognostic factors influencing return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The aim of this study was to determine the influence of hamstring muscle composition on muscle power following ACLR with autogenous hamstring grafts.

Background: In the rat knee stiffness model, the duration of traction treatment is mostly 20-40 min; however, relatively few studies have been conducted on longer traction treatment of extended knee stiffness in rats. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of prolonged traction and its mechanism of action in extended knee stiffness in rats.

Methods: The model of extended knee joint stiffness was established in rats and treated with powered flexion position traction.
