Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparing Ultrasound-Guided Needling Combined With a Subacromial Corticosteroid Injection Versus High-Energy Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Calcific Tendinitis of the Rotator Cuff: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes after treatment with standardized high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided needling (UGN) in patients with symptomatic calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff who were nonresponsive to conservative treatment. ⋯ II, randomized controlled trial.
-
To systematically review the literature to compare the adductor canal block (ACB) with the femoral nerve block (FNB) following primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in terms of early postoperative analgesic requirements and postoperative quadriceps strength. ⋯ I, systematic review and meta-analysis of Level I studies.
-
To determine the correlation between preoperative and postoperative opioid use in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder labral repair, as well as patient risk factors associated with increased postoperative opioid use after the procedure. ⋯ Level III, retrospective cohort study.
-
To evaluate the long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes of third-generation autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for the treatment of focal cartilage defects of the knee. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.
