Enhancing Healing of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: A Radiographic Evaluation of Bridging Allograft vs. Maximal Repair - A Randomized Control Trial
The purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic results of bridging rotator cuff reconstruction (BRR) with dermal allograft and maximal repair for large or massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears.
When Not to Have Rotator Cuff Surgery
Rotator cuff tears may require surgery to repair, but they can often heal with rest, physical therapy, and medication when needed. Discuss with your orthopedist when to have or not have rotator cuff surgery.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Used on Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Patient-reported knee-related rating scores and scales are widely used in reporting the clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Understanding the psychometric properties of such measures is vital to recognizing the limitations that such measures may confer. The aim of this study was to review the available evidence as to the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in ACL surgery.
