Long-term, clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair may be improved with concomitant acromioplasty in patients with a Type III acromion
In theory, extrinsic anterolateral acromial impingement of the rotator cuff can contribute to cuff tearing. Thus, acromioplasty may be performed concomitantly with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). A review of recent randomized controlled trials confirms that patient long-term outcomes after ARCR is superior when acromioplasty is performed, when compared to no concomitant acromioplasty, while complication and retear rates are similar.
How to Wear a Shoulder Sling
A shoulder sling keeps your arm against your body and prevents you from moving it too much. However, if you wear a shoulder sling the wrong way, you might slow healing or injure your arm more.
No More Knee Pain: The Best Running Shoes for Pain-Free Runs
There's nothing worse for a runner than feeling motivated to hit the roads, but not being able to because of an injury. "Runner's knee" is a general term that encompasses a few different conditions that can cause knee pain from running. Although running shoes won't cure knee pain on their own, choosing the right pair is a must if you hope to alleviate or avoid knee pain and keep logging those miles.
10 Strengthening Exercises for Hip Bursitis
Previously, researchers thought that hip bursitis was the primary cause of lateral or side hip pain. Now, experts know that greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a more accurate explanation. GTPS includes injury or wear and tear of the gluteal muscle tendons (tendinopathy), which may cause hip pain that worsens with movement.
Alpha angle and anterior femoral neck offset identify different cohorts of cam morphology: an osteologic study
The purpose of this study was to explore differences in cam morphology defined by alpha angle and anterior femoral neck offset, in the context of other anthropometric parameters in an osteologic collection to further elucidate whether each measurement tool is identifying the same underlying pathology.
