Medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC)
reconstruction plays an important role in the surgical treatment of
patellar instability. Anatomic reconstruction is critical in
re-creating the native function of the ligament, which includes
minimizing length changes that occur in early flexion. Anatomic
risk factors for patellar...
Arthroscopic capsulolabral repair for
posterior shoulder instability has been shown to improve
patient-reported outcomes and return to sport at short-term and
midterm follow-up, but long-term outcomes are unknown.
In conclusion, arthroscopic capsulolabral
repair for posterior shoulder instability was a durable...
Although initial studies have demonstrated
that concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) injections promote
rotator cuff repair (RCR) healing, there are no randomized
prospective studies investigating clinical efficacy.
In conclusion, cBMA-augmented aRCR of
isolated supraspinatus tendon tears may result in a...
There are few well-studied clinical tests for
the diagnosis of hip labral tears. As the differential diagnosis
for hip pain is broad, accurate clinical examination is important
in guiding advanced imaging and identifying patients who may
benefit from surgical management.
Despite recent advances in arthroscopic
rotator cuff repair, the retear rate remains high. New methods to
optimize healing rates must be sought. Bone channeling may create a
quicker and more vigorous healing response by attracting autologous
mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines, and growth factors to the repair
site.
