Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effect of ultrasonographically guided axillary nerve block combined with suprascapular nerve block in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a randomized controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to compare the results of ultrasonographically guided axillary nerve block (ANB) combined with suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) with those of SSNB alone on postoperative pain and satisfaction within the first 48 hours after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. ⋯ Level I, randomized controlled trial.

The aim of this cadaveric study was to evaluate the accuracy, feasibility, and operation time of a novel electromagnetic navigation system (ENS) and procedure for transclavicular-transcoracoid tunnel placement compared with a standard minimally invasive (SMI) reconstruction method for minimally invasive arthroscopically assisted anatomic acromioclavicular joint reconstruction. ⋯ Length of surgery, drilling accuracy, and reduction of radiation exposure in acromioclavicular joint reconstruction procedures affect the safety of both patients and surgeons.

To assess the efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) venous thromboprophylaxis in patients with transient reduced mobility in the non-major orthopaedic setting. ⋯ Level II, meta-analysis of Level II studies or Level I studies with inconsistent results.
