To retrospectively report on a series of patients who had interscalene block regional anesthesia performed for outpatient open and arthroscopic shoulder surgical procedures in a community-based ambulatory surgery center setting. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.
-
The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of patients to return to their preoperative work level and to identify functional prognostic factors in a group of Workers' Compensation (WC) patients after arthroscopic repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears at a minimum follow-up of 1 year. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Hamstring donor-site block: evaluation of pain control after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using a hamstring donor-site block in controlling postoperative pain levels after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.
-
The objective of this study was to analyze the injury patterns of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) in acute lateral patellar dislocations (LPDs) considering the anatomically relevant factors of patellar instability. ⋯ Level IV, diagnostic case-control study.

Comparative Study
Axial and sagittal knee geometry as a risk factor for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament tear: a case-control study.
The purpose of this study was to compare the axial and sagittal geometry of the distal femur and proximal tibia in men and women with and without noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears to determine whether a difference existed in these groups. ⋯ Level III, case-control study.
