Comparative Study
Biomechanical comparison of arthroscopically performable techniques for suprapectoral biceps tenodesis.
The aim of this study was to biomechanically compare the cyclic and ultimate failure load (UFL) of 4 widely used techniques for arthroscopically performable suprapectoral tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB). ⋯ The lasso-loop suture anchor technique is an appropriate alternative for suprapectoral LHB tenodesis compared with tenodesis screw techniques.

Controlled Clinical Trial
Rotator cuff repair healing influenced by platelet-rich plasma construct augmentation.
To assess the effect of platelet-rich plasma fibrin matrix (PRPFM) construct augmentation on postoperative tendon healing as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. ⋯ Level III, case-control study.
