The aims of the study were as follows: (1) to perform a systematic review of meta-analyses evaluating platelet-rich plasma (PRP) use at the time of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery and to determine its effect on retear rates and clinical outcomes; (2) to provide a framework for the analysis and interpretation of the best currently available evidence; and (3) to identify gaps within the literature where suggestions for continued investigational efforts would be valid. ⋯ Level III, systematic review of Level II and III studies.
-
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combined lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) and intra-articular anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) in addressing the high-grade pivot-shift phenomenon. ⋯ Level IV, systematic review of Level I, III, and IV studies.
-
To compare the outcome between arthroscopic soft tissue tenodesis (STT) at the rotator interval and bony interference fixation tenodesis (BIFT) at the distal bicipital groove for the long head of the biceps (LHB). ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.

This systematic review examined the efficacy of perioperative nerve blocks for pain control after hip arthroscopy. ⋯ Level IV, systematic review of Level I to Level IV studies.
