Mashup Score: 6Endoscopic Repair of the Distal Biceps Tendon - 6 hour(s) ago
Distal biceps ruptures are common orthopaedic injuries that may result in cosmetic deformity, loss of subjective flexion strength, and loss of objective supination strength if treated nonoperatively. To combat this, both single- and dual-incision techniques have been developed to repair the distal biceps. Although each of these procedures has unique complications, both procedures are at risk of posterior interosseous nerve palsies, with up to 21% of surgeons reporting nerve palsies. This article proposes an endoscopically assisted biceps tendon repair that uses minimal retraction of the muscles in the forearm, which may lower the risk of traction-related nerve palsy.

Mashup Score: 8Editorial Commentary: Evidence That the Shoulder Latarjet Procedure Results in Scapular Dyskinesia Is Not Compelling - 2 day(s) ago
The Latarjet procedure was first described in 1954. It is a nonanatomic procedure that requires transfer of the coracoid process, together with the conjoint tendon, to the anterior glenoid margin. The aim is to prevent recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation through a “triple blocking” effect, which includes restoring bone loss, providing a dynamic sling effect, and performing capsulolabral repair. Despite the long history of the Latarjet procedure, studies evaluating its impact on scapulothoracic kinematics are sparse.

Mashup Score: 19Arthroscopy-Assisted Core Decompression and Bone Grafting for Avascular Necrosis of the Hip - 11 day(s) ago
Although specific techniques vary, core decompression is generally accepted as the treatment of choice for precollapse avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip to delay or prevent progression of the disease. This can be combined with hip arthroscopy to allow visual assessment of the femoral head as well as treatment of intra-articular pathologies, which may contribute to pain and joint degeneration. We describe a technique of hip arthroscopy and concurrent core decompression using an expandable reamer and bone grafting for treatment of hip AVN.

Mashup Score: 35
Distal biceps tendon ruptures are rare injuries that can lead to significant limitations in forearm supination strength and elbow flexion. Although conservative treatment leads to satisfactory results in many cases, surgical treatment is indicated in high-demanding patients, heavy workers, and athletes. Many different surgical techniques have been described, but the percentage of complications after surgery remains high (almost 25%). The purpose of this article is to describe our preferred surgical approach for acute distal biceps tendon ruptures with an arthroscopic-assisted technique and suture anchor fixation method.

Mashup Score: 24All-Arthroscopic Intratendinous Dermal Patch Integration for Large-Sized Rotator Cuff Tear - 18 day(s) ago
Patch augmentation of rotator cuff repair can create a healed tendon-bone interface, rather than the formation of a fibrovascular scar tissue, seen even after maximizing biomechanical strength of repair with a double-row construct. Here we describe our technique of patch interposition between the tendon and bone interface. Most arthroscopic patch augmentation techniques are challenging, and here we present a simpler reproducible approach, which has minimal strain on tissue and repair construct without compromising on the footprint coverage.

Mashup Score: 3Editorial Commentary: Biologics Injections for Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears Show Promise - 19 day(s) ago
Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) are difficult to treat. Conservative treatment typically includes physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and injectables (e.g., corticosteroid injections, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma [PRP], stem cells). Recent studies have demonstrated that PRP alone or in combination with other injectables (e.g., PRP + hyaluronic acid) provides a positive short-term therapeutic benefit in patients with PTRCTs. Yet, effects tend to diminish after 1 year.
