Unstable simple elbow dislocations: medium-term results after non-surgical and surgical treatment.
Determination of the appropriate treatment of unstable simple elbow dislocations is difficult and a topic of ongoing discussion. The aim of this study was to analyse the outcome and complications after surgery and conservative treatment, with special focus on post-traumatic joint laxity. ⋯ Retrospective Cohort Study, Level III.

Open capsular and ligament reconstruction with semitendinosus hamstring autograft successfully controls superior and posterior translation for type V acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
Appropriate surgical management for type V complete acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation remains controversial. The purpose of this paper is to retrospectively report the clinical and radiographic outcomes of an open surgical technique consisting for AC joint ligamentous and capsular reconstruction using autologous hamstring tendon grafts and semi-permanent sutures. ⋯ Retrospective case series, Level IV.

Comparative StudyClinical comparison of the two-stranded single and four-stranded double Krackow techniques for acute Achilles tendon ruptures.
Several different Krackow stitch configurations have been used for acute Achilles tendon rupture repair. Although several biomechanical studies compared different Krackow stitch configurations, to our knowledge, no previous studies compared the clinical outcome of these different suture methods. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and complications of the two-stranded single and four-stranded double Krackow techniques. ⋯ III.
