We appreciate the work by Xu to evaluate the collective clinical and advanced-imaging outcomes in their recent article, “Meta-analysis comparing single-row and double-row repair techniques in the arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tears.” [...]
Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is indicated for selected patients with recurrent instability after a failed primary procedure. The cause of the failure must be carefully identified to avoid pitfalls that may [...]
Patients with multidirectional glenohumeral instability without a Bankart lesion represent a challenging group. Arthroscopic pancapsular plication affords the surgeon flexibility to correct the degree and direction of laxity in the multidirectionally unstable patient. [...]
BACKGROUND: Recurrent instability after surgical stabilization of the shoulder is uncommon. Although results of open revision stabilization procedures have been reported, only 3 studies have evaluated the outcome of arthroscopic revision surgery. PURPOSE: [...]
Most shoulder instability repairs are performed with single-loaded suture anchors. Recent reports have shown that there is increased stress on both the glenoid labrum and suture anchor when sutures from single-loaded anchors are [...]
Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is a commonly performed procedure for patellofemoral instability. In recent years the surgery has evolved considerably as the anatomy and goals of reconstruction have become more defined. This has [...]
PURPOSE: (1) Describe a previously unreported finding involving the intra-articular portion of the subscapularis, the Conrad lesion. (2) Describe a novel classification system for the spectrum of non-insertional tendinopathy of the subscapularis. (3) [...]
BACKGROUND: A novel arthroscopic technique allows for intraosseous tendon placement in biceps tenodesis using bone tunnels and suture while avoiding the expense of an implant. No biomechanical characterization exists for this construct. METHODS: Tensile tests [...]
PURPOSE: To determine the effectiveness of proficiency-based progression (PBP) training using simulation both compared with the same training without proficiency requirements and compared with a traditional resident course for learning to perform an [...]
We conducted a study to evaluate in vivo tension applied to the rotator cuff tendon positioned at the medial versus lateral footprint during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We evaluated 20 consecutive patients who [...]
