Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of arthroscopic surgery combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) compared with arthroscopic surgery alone in the treatment of patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
Methods: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, EBSCO, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database were systematically searched from inception to November 2023. Subject words combined with free words were used to collect randomized controlled trials focusing on arthroscopic surgery combined with PRP in the treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. The assessment of evidence quality employed the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool, and data analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.
Results: A total of 9 studies with 537 patients were included. The meta-analysis revealed that compared with the arthroscopic surgery alone group, the summary result of University of California Los Angeles score scores in the arthroscopic combined with PRP group was (mean difference [MD] = 1.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.19∼1.97, P = .02), subgroup analysis of surgical suture method visual analog scale (VAS) single-row (MD = -1.00, 95% CI -1.50 to -0.50, P < .0001), VAS double-row (MD = -0.10, 95% CI -0.17 to -0.02, P = .02), and Constant-Murley score single-row (MD = 3.49, 95% CI 0.32∼6.66, P = .03), the difference was statistically significant, and the differences in VAS, Constant-Murley score, and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, complications, and retear rate were not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Patients undergoing arthroscopic repair combined with PRP treatment showed no difference in pain, function, complications, and retear rate compared with those treated with arthroscopic surgery alone.
Level Of Evidence: Level II, systematic review and meta-analysis of Level I and II evidence studies.

A 48-year-old man with a superior labral tear and medical history including hemidiaphragmatic paresis, obstructive sleep apnea, vocal cord paresis, and glottic narrowing, underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis. Reduction in respiratory function presented anesthetic management challenges with general anesthesia or an interscalene brachial plexus block. Instead, ultrasound guidance was used to deliver a selective upper-trunk block with 1 % lidocaine and an axillary nerve block with 0.

Rotator cuff injuries are common and procedures of repair have evolved from open techniques to minimally invasive and arthroscopic ones. Despite these advances, the biomechanics, biology, and value of transosseous repairs remain superior, leading to the development of innovative devices that enable the utilization of this technique without the use of anchors, improving both the efficiency and safety of the procedure. This article reviews the latest advances in transosseous rotator cuff repair, highlighting its biomechanical advantages, as well as the factors that enhance recovery and offer more consistent long-term outcomes.

Hip pain after a total hip arthroplasty is a prevalent condition. Once aseptic loosening and infection have been ruled out, the possible entities are vast. Accurate diagnosis in this patient population is challenging because they might present in different stages of their recovery process and the potential overlap of some conditions.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between open and arthroscopic anterior latissimus dorsi (LD) transfer techniques for treating irreparable subscapularis (SSC) tears.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent open or arthroscopic anterior LD transfer for irreparable SSC tears between February 2014 and August 2020. Patients were included if they had irreparable SSC tears with Lafosse Grade 4 or higher and Goutallier Grade 3 or higher, but without advanced arthritis (Hamada Grade < 3).

Purpose: This analysis evaluated whether logistic regression and machine learning models could predict achievement of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) and Hip Outcome Score (HOS) at 6 and 12 months following hip arthroscopy.
Methods: Data from the multicenter Femoroacetabular Impingement RandomiSed controlled Trial and its embedded prospective cohort were used. A total of 309 patients (mean ± SD age 34.
