To retrospectively assess the clinical outcomes of the patients with large to massive reparable RCTs treated by arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) combined with modified superior capsule reconstruction (mSCR) using the long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) as reinforcement with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. ⋯ Level III, retrospective therapeutic comparative trial.

Increased tibial slope is associated with increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the skeletally immature. Recent studies, however, emphasize a mutual influence, as tibial slope has been shown to increase over time in the ACL-deficient skeletally immature knee. ⋯ In the skeletally immature knee, especially, the soft tissue geometry is thought to have significant impact on ACL injury risk. However, it remains unknown whether alteration of the meniscal slope may represent a causality of ACL deficiency.
-
To perform a network meta-analysis to evaluate clinical efficacy and treatment-related adverse events (AEs) of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA), leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP), leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma (LR-PRP), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs), and saline (placebo) during 6 and 12 months of follow-up. ⋯ Level II, meta-analysis of Level I and II studies.
-
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the radiographic outcomes of allograft dowels used in 2-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to compare the incorporation rates of dowels placed in tibial and femoral tunnels. ⋯ Level IV, case series.
-
A systematic review of the literature was conducted to ascertain advantages and limitations, update current evidences, and investigate the role of a pedicled quadriceps tendon autograft for primary medio-patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in patients with recurrent patellofemoral instability. ⋯ IV, Systematic review of Level III-IV studies.
