Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intra-articular sufentanil in multimodal analgesic management after outpatient arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study.
This prospective, randomized, blinded study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-articular sufentanil, ropivacaine, and clonidine compared with that of ropivacaine and clonidine without sufentanil on postoperative pain after arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. ⋯ Level I, therapeutic randomized controlled trial.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the long-term radiographic appearance and clinical outcome after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by use of either bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) or hamstring tendon (HT) autografts and to evaluate how associated meniscal injuries affect the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA). ⋯ Level III, therapeutic, retrospective comparative study.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Isolated repair of the medial patellofemoral ligament in primary dislocation of the patella: a prospective randomized study.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical reinsertion of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) to the adductor tubercle compared with conservative treatment in patients with primary dislocation of the patella. ⋯ Level I, therapeutic randomized controlled trial.

Comparative Study
Determination of anterior labral repair stress during passive arm motion in a cadaveric model.
The actual forces encountered at the labrum after anterior labral repair have yet to be quantified. The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of force experienced at the glenoid-labrum interface with passive range of motion after an isolated Bankart repair and Bankart repair with capsular shift. ⋯ These data suggest that early postoperative rehabilitation may safely allow greater passive range of motion than is presently accepted.
