..The purpose of this study was to review a single institution's large consecutive series of localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) of the knee...

..Initial indications are that arthroscopic-assisted core decompression with an ACL guide is an effective alternative to previously used methods...

..More importantly, this horizontal mattress-knotless anchor technique better recreates the normal meniscoid appearance of the superior labrum...

..In addition, these patients may benefit from the establishment of an international joint registry...

..To date, an association between pathologic glenohumeral internal rotation deficit and elbow injury has not been exhibited...

..We hypothesized that, despite appropriate surgical techniques, the outcome of revision total shoulder replacement can be predicted on the basis of the indication for the revision procedure...

..UCL reconstruction reportedly allows 90% of baseball players to return to prior or a higher level of play; however, players with concomitant posteromedial chondromalacia may experience lower rates of return to play...

..As the number of primary reconstructions continues to increase, one could expect a commensurate increase in the number of revision medial collateral ligament reconstructions performed...

..HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE: Combined flexor-pronator and ulnar collateral ligament injuries occur in older players, and results in this group are inferior to those reported for isolated ulnar collateral ligament reconstructions...

....

..These studies are needed to justify the potentially increased implant costs and surgical times associated with double-row rotator cuff repair...

..Avascular necrosis is not solely dependent on the initial fracture pattern, but can also result from intraoperative and postoperative vascular insults...

..Subsequently, the docking technique as originally described was slightly modified. Arthroscopy is no longer routinely performed, and in some cases, a 3-strand graft is used...

....

..A novel elbow ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction technique that combines interference screw fixation on the ulna with docking of the graft on the humeral side (DANE TJ) has been reported...

..This detailed analysis of the hip and knee reconstruction section of the OITE should improve resident performance, and may serve as a study tool for the OITE...

..Additionally, we review the principles behind postoperative rehabilitation in these athletes, as it differs from the usual approach used with baseball players...

..To date, there is no published technique note on how to tie the Dines knot, which is referred to in this note as the "DMD knot."..

..Complications associated with these devices, including loss of reduction, screw cutout, and intra-articular penetration, are frequent. Establishing a second column of support may reduce complications and improve clinical outcome scores...

..The OITE has evolved dramatically over the years and now maintains a standardized format consisting of 275 questions divided among 12 sections...

..Patients with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk for hip arthrosis secondary to the loss of joint congruity...

..Though functional scores were slightly higher in the reimplantation group, satisfaction was equally high in both groups. Resection, when indicated, should be performed arthroscopically as this improved functional outcome in our series...

..As a result, we have developed an arthroscopic technique to repair medial patellofemoral ligament avulsions to the patella using suture anchors...

..Most of these tears occur in the older, less active patient and many of these patients are best treated without surgery. For those in whom surgery is indicated, the best procedure should be tailored to the tear...

..New surgical techniques may improve healing potential. The purpose of this study was to provide an objective evaluation of repair site integrity after arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent suture-bridge rotator cuff repair...

..We sought to evaluate the functional and radiographic outcome of osteochondral lesions involving the femoral condyle that were arthroscopically repaired via a bioabsorbable fixation device made of self-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid...

..Physical therapy with scapular stabilization exercises and avoidance of abduction and active adduction can be successful in returning these patients to their previous activity levels...

..After defining the anatomic problem, proper component positioning, elimination of contractures, plication of capsular laxity, and establishing cuff integrity ensure the best opportunity for a stable shoulder...

..Only 3 patients suffered postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: The docking technique reliably returns athletes to competitive throwing with a low perioperative morbidity...

..This study reviewed a series of patients diagnosed with Propionibacterium acnes infection after shoulder arthroplasty in order to describe its clinical presentation, the means of diagnosis, and provide options for treatment...

..However, surgical excision with isolated release of the muscle can be successful in returning patients with persistent pain despite a trial of conservative management to their previous levels of function...

....

..Furthermore, rhGDF-5-stimulated RTF cell migration, cell proliferation, and collagen synthesis at dipcoat concentrations of rhGDF-5 of at least 200 μg/ml...

..Furthermore, arthroscopy affords the surgeon with the ability to address concomitant intraarticular pathology at the time of surgery...

..This study showed that a novel dip-coating technique can be used to deliver growth factors in varying concentrations to local repair sites to accelerate tendon healing...

..We hypothesize that MLB pitchers demonstrate a low rate of return to their pre-injury pitch workload following revision surgery...

..Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is reserved for patients with a deficient rotator cuff, or highly comminuted tuberosities...

..In this review, we discuss the recent role of RTSA in the setting of proximal humerus fractures, including surgical indications, preferred operative technique, and recent literature that supports its use...

..For those patients or fractures in which the tuberosities are unlikely to heal or cannot be adequately reconstructed, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty should be considered...

....

..Abdominal muscle strains can result in substantial loss of playing time, and their incidence has never been reported in baseball...

..This surgical approach allows exposure of the proximal humerus and indirect reduction of the fracture, with subsequent locking plate fixation, adhering to the principles of biological fixation...

..Recently, successful outcomes for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty have been reported in older, low-demand patients with cuff deficiency, deficient bone in the tuberosity, or compromised healing of the tuberosity...

..Ideally, an improvement to the current repair technique would yield improved tendon healing leading to improved clinical results...
