Article Synopsis
- Rotator cuff tears are common among middle-aged and elderly individuals, impacting shoulder function and stability, and can result from both acute injuries and chronic wear.
- The review aims to compare surgical and non-surgical treatment options, revealing that while surgery typically yields better long-term outcomes, non-surgical methods like physical therapy can also be effective for smaller tears.
- Treatment decisions should be personalized, taking into account the tear size, patient demographics, and health status, as surgical options, despite higher upfront costs, often lead to better long-term results.
Background: The co-occurrence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture with medial collateral ligament (MCL) rupture is a compound injury that can be associated with meniscal tears.
Purpose: To report the characteristics of meniscal tears in knees with isolated ACL versus combined ACL and MCL injuries, analyzing their frequency, distribution by site, and lesion type.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of immobilizing the upper limb with a brace versus a less-constrained sling in the rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), by documenting clinical and radiological results.
Methods: ARCR was performed in 110 patients (54.9±8.
Knee pain is a prevalent issue among older adults, often resulting from degenerative joint changes, and significantly impacts functionality and quality of life. While arthroscopic meniscal surgery is a common intervention for managing knee pain, its effectiveness compared to conservative treatments remains debated. This meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy of arthroscopic meniscal surgery versus conservative management in alleviating knee pain and enhancing functional outcomes in patients with degenerative meniscal tears.
