The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review of the available literature to define the level of quality evidence for determining the sensitivity and specificity of different radiographic views in detecting knee osteoarthritis and to determine the impact of different grading systems on the ability to detect knee osteoarthritis. ⋯ Level I, systematic review of Level I studies.
-
To identify intra-articular pathology during arthroscopic osteochondroplasty for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)-related femoroacetabular impingement and determine functional outcomes after treatment. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Review Meta Analysis
Clinical and structural outcomes after arthroscopic repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears with and without platelet-rich product supplementation: a meta-analysis and meta-regression.
The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of all Level I and Level II studies comparing the clinical or structural outcomes, or both, after rotator cuff repair with and without platelet-rich product (PRP) supplementation. ⋯ Level II, meta-analysis of Level I and Level II studies.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Are delayed operations effective for patients with rotator cuff tears and concomitant stiffness? An analysis of immediate versus delayed surgery on outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of immediate rotator cuff repair with capsular release and those of rotator cuff repair after the stiffness was treated with rehabilitative therapy. ⋯ Level II, prospective comparative study.
