Mashup Score: 1
Rotator cuff tears continue to be a challenge for the shoulder surgeon since there is still a high rate of retears. To increase the rate of repair and decrease the number of retears, we present a technique, in which we reinforce a tension-free double-row repair of the supraspinatus with reconstruction of the superior capsule with the long head of the biceps (LHB). With this reinforcement of the cuff suture using the LHB, we increase both the biomechanics and biology of the repair and decrease the rate of reruptures.

Mashup Score: 6Technique for All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Quadrupled Semitendinosus and Gracilis Autograft - 9 month(s) ago
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common to athletes and non-athletes alike. Whereas the literature has historically supported bone–patellar tendon–bone as the gold standard for active patients who elect to undergo ACL reconstruction, other studies have suggested that soft-tissue grafts do not increase the risk of rerupture. Because graft diameter has a direct effect on revision rates, we share a technique for all-inside ACL reconstruction using quadrupled semitendinosus and gracilis autograft that allows for a predictable, robust graft.

Brachial plexus injuries (BPI) with complete root avulsions remains a clinical challenge due to a paucity of nerves available for nerve transfer and innervation of free functioning muscle transfers (FFMT). The hypoglossal and hemihypoglossal nerve has not been studied as a donor nerve option for FFMTs in brachial plexus reconstruction, despite successful outcomes of hypoglossal nerve transfers in…

Chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures are relatively uncommon albeit debilitating injuries to the knee extensor mechanism. Previous literature demonstrates worse reported outcomes with delayed surgical intervention, and no gold-standard technique currently exists for managing chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures. The goal of this technique is to provide orthopaedic surgeons an additional option that…

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors commonly used to determine readiness for return to sport (RTS) in the ACL reconstruction (ACL-R) patient population and assess which were most influential to successfully returning to sport and avoiding re-tear.

The management of irreparable rotator cuff tears in active patients without severe osteoarthritis is challenging. Retracted tears of the superior cuff result in devastating glenohumeral kinematics and decreased shoulder function. Surgical solutions such as superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) or tendon transfers may improve shoulder function. Regarding SCR, the superior capsule has been…
