Comparative Study
Comparison of arthroscopic meniscal repair results using 3 different meniscal repair devices in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients.
The goal of this study was the clinical evaluation of arthroscopic meniscal repair results with the use of 3 different repair devices. ⋯ Level III, therapeutic retrospective comparative study.
-
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical success rate of all-inside meniscal repairs using a rapidly absorbing device in patients undergoing concurrent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.
-
We propose a new technique of regional anesthesia that combines suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) and axillary nerve block (ANB) in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. ⋯ Combining SSNB and ANB is an effective and safe technique for intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for certain procedures of shoulder arthroscopic surgery.
-
The goal of this study was to show that patient self-assessment of active shoulder range of motion (ROM) by use of a novel, diagram-based questionnaire is accurate when compared with physician-assessed shoulder ROM. ⋯ Using a diagram-based questionnaire, patients are able to accurately assess their own active shoulder ROM.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the femoral insertions of the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and to develop arthroscopic orientation models for double-bundle (DB) bone tunnel placement. ⋯ This study provides an anatomic description of the femoral AM and PL insertions including gender differences, landmarks, and arthroscopic orientation models for DB bone tunnel placement.
