The aim this study was to identify risk factors linked insufficient during We hypothesized that presence pincer- or mixed-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) could hinder effective procedure. Inclusion criteria included indication arthroscopy, and persistent symptoms have not responded extensive conservative treatment, such as activity adjustments physical therapy over a...

The management of irreparable rotator cuff tears presents significant challenges, particularly in active individuals experiencing functional limitations, such as reduced forward elevation and deficits both external internal rotation. Traditional latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer has shown effectiveness reducing pain associated with posterosuperior but often yields inconsistent outcomes. This is largely due to the LD's primary role an rotator, which limits its capacity restore normal...

We present a surgical technique combining arthroscopic-assisted lower trapezius tendon (LTT) transfer with autologous semitendinosus and long head of biceps (LHBT) superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) for massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. The patients are placed in the beach-chair position ipsilateral leg prepared simultaneously. After both tendons harvested, 1 limb graft is fixed LTT via Krakow suture. LHBT then by an anchor 5 to 8 mm posterior bicipital groove...

Abstract Purpose To determine if there is a correlation between lateral tibial slope and long-term clinical results in patients who underwent double-bundle ACL reconstruction. Methods We retrospectively reviewed that received reconstruction at single institution by surgeon from January 2011 to December 2014. All the magnetic resonance imaging were slopes (LTS) recorded an experienced rechecked other two authors of this study specialized orthopedic knee surgery. The relationship PROMs...

Abstract Background To investigate the radiologic and prognostic outcomes after using arthroscopic-assisted reduction internal fixation (ARIF) in complex tibial plateau fractures with mid- to long-term follow-up. Methods This retrospective study reviewed that underwent ARIF from 1999 2019. Radiologic outcomes, including angle (TPA), posterior slope (PSA), Kellgren–Lawrence classification Rasmussen assessment, were measured evaluated. The prognosis complications assessed by clinical...

There is currently no consensus on the optimal placement of tibial tunnel for double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. The purpose this study was to compare clinical and radiologic outcomes PCL reconstruction utilizing anatomic versus low tunnels. We conducted a retrospective cohort involving patients who underwent between Jan 2019 2022, with minimum follow-up 2 years (n = 36). Based position postoperative computed tomography, were categorized into two groups: (group...

We investigated whether double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) combined with anterolateral (ALLR) improved clinical and radiological outcomes in patients at high risk of ACL failure. The primary outcome was graft failure, secondary included knee stability patient-reported measures (PROMs). Fifty-two who underwent DB ACLR ALLR were this retrospective cohort study. Preoperative factors, including femorotibial angle (FTA), lateral tibial slope (LTS), medial...

There are many adhesion barrier materials, cross-linked or non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA), used during surgeries. This study investigates the efficacy of and HA in preventing Achilles tendon adhesions. We hypothesized that may be more effective than adhesions following injury repair. Twenty male Sprague Dawley rats, totaling 40 legs, underwent transection Following surgery, they were treated simultaneously with formulations. The rats divided into four groups: a positive control group,...

The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is essential for elbow stability during pitching. In professional baseball, the fastball (FB) most commonly used pitch, making postrecovery FB performance after UCL reconstruction (UCLR) a crucial aspect to consider.

The study aimed to investigate the correlation between medial tibial slope (MTS) and lateral (LTS) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MTS measured by different imaging, intra- interobserver reliability of measurements reviewers with gaps experience over 10 years.

To investigate the improvement in frozen-phase frozen shoulder (FS) patients' pain and mobility, including passive forward elevation (FE), external rotation (ER), internal (IR), after 2 consecutive intra-articular corticosteroid (IACS) injections. This retrospective cohort study was performed from July 2020 to November 2023. All patients with FS received ultrasound-guided IACS injections at 6-week intervals. FE, ER, IR, visual analog scale scores were measured each follow-up consultation a...
