Background: Posterior glenoid labral injuries are more common in football players than in the general population. Arthroscopic repair with all-suture anchors has proven to be an effective technique to address other abnormalities, allowing for low-profile constructs that minimize damage to surrounding tissue. Few studies have examined the outcomes of posterior labral repair with all-suture anchors in football players.

There are multiple potential advantages of all-suture anchors, including decreased bone removal, anchor migration, synovitis/chondral injury, and bone reaction. Despite these potential advantages, few studies have examined clinical outcomes of glenoid labral repair with all-suture anchors.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The increasing prevalence of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries, particularly in young athletes, necessitates optimization of treatment options. The introduction of UCL repair with internal bracing offers an exciting alternative to traditional UCL reconstruction.
Purpose: To compare midterm outcomes between UCL repair with internal bracing and UCL reconstruction in competitive athletes.
Background: In the event that nonoperative treatment for sports hernia fails, surgical repair may be warranted. Bilateral repair can occur in up to 45% of surgically treated patients.
Purpose: To investigate the clinical outcomes of athletes who underwent unilateral sports hernia repair and determine the proportion of patients who required contralateral sports hernia repair.
