Increased time from injury to surgical repair in patients with proximal hamstring ruptures is associated with worse clinical outcomes at mid-term follow-up.
Prior studies of hamstring tendon tears have reported varied findings on whether increased delay from injury to surgery is associated with worse outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether increased time from injury to surgical repair is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with proximal hamstring ruptures. ⋯ This study found that acute repair performed within 6 weeks of injury appears to yield improved PROs compared to chronic repair. These data highlight the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis of proximal hamstring ruptures and early operative intervention for surgical candidates.

Patient-specific risk profile associated with early-onset primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder: is it really primary?
Although age is considered to be the major risk factor of primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GOA), younger population may suffer from degenerative changes of the shoulder joint without evidence of any leading cause. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk profile in young patients suffering from presumably primary GOA. ⋯ III, Case-Control study.

Arthroscopic treatment and subacromial decompression of calcific tendinitis without removal of the calcific deposit results in rapid resolution of symptoms and excellent clinical outcomes in commercial airline pilots and cabin crew.
The purpose of this study was to report the results of subacromial arthroscopic decompression (SAD) without removal of the calcific deposits in patients with calcifying tendinitis. ⋯ The results of this study suggest excellent short- and mid-term clinical outcomes can be achieved in patients with calcific tendinitis undergoing arthroscopic debridement and subacromial decompression without removal of calcific deposits. In this patient population, early surgical intervention was a potentially viable alternative to nonoperative treatment, and allowed early return to work.

Descriptive analysis and short-term follow-up clinical results of osteochondral lesions of the distal tibia based on data of the German Cartilage Register (Knorpelregister® DGOU).
An increasing number of ankle injuries with osteochondral lesions (OCL) also include lesions of the distal tibia. Therefore, the German Cartilage Society database is used to describe and examine the characteristics of these lesions and, early on, the results of different surgical therapies on the clinical outcome. ⋯ This study presents baseline data of OLDT based on data from a large database. BMS and scaffolds were the treatment of choice but did not present significant improvement after a 1-year follow-up.
