Arthroscopic Biological Augmentation With Subacromial Bursa for Bursal-Sided Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears.

Background: Augmentation with subacromial bursa has not been fully established in bursal-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PT-RCTs).

Purpose: To compare the results of acromioplasty + arthroscopic debridement versus acromioplasty + augmentation with subacromial bursa for Ellman type 2 PT-RCTs involving 25% to 50% of the tendon surface area.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Effect of fracture level on the residual fracture gap during tibial intramedullary nailing for tibial shaft fractures.

Introduction: The development of fracture gap during intramedullary nailing in tibial fractures is associated with poor fracture fragment contact and increased time to union and complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the fracture level in the development of the fracture gap and the effect of the fracture gap on pain, radiologic and functional outcomes, and complication rate.

Material And Method: A total of 45 patients who underwent reamed intramedullary nailing due to closed transverse or short oblique tibial shaft fractures were divided into the proximal fracture group and the distal fracture group.

Comparing the outcomes of fingertip-to-palm and fingertip-to-forearm two-stage flexor tendon reconstruction for isolated flexor digitorum profundus tendon injuries.

Flexor tendon injuries of the hand have devastating consequences when primary tendon repair fails or left untreated in the first place. Flexor tendon reconstruction is a substantial treatment option to obtain functional digit. In this study, we aimed to compare the functional outcomes and technical feasibility of fingertip-to-palm and fingertip-to-forearm tendon reconstruction methods.

Leaving the stable ramp lesion unrepaired does not negatively affect clinical and functional outcomes as well as return to sports rates after ACL reconstruction.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of untreated stable ramp lesions on clinical and functional outcomes, return to sports rates, and complications of patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Methods: A total of 879 patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture were evaluated. Of these, 66 patients [33 patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture and stable medial meniscal ramp lesion (ramp + group) and 33 patients with isolated anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ramp - group)] with a minimum 3-year of follow-up were included.
