Medial Meniscus Root Tears: Management With Single-Tunnel Repair and Meniscus Centralization
Meniscus root tears (MRTs) are radial tears located near the anterior or posterior meniscotibial attachment, which are often underdiagnosed and associated with accelerated knee osteoarthritis (OA). Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs), frequently observed in middle-aged women, lead to altered knee biomechanics and joint degeneration if untreated. While historically managed with meniscectomy, the modern approach emphasizes arthroscopic repair to restore joint stability and delay OA progression.
Perioperative Leukocyte-Poor Platelet-Rich Plasma Associated with Reduced Risk of Retear After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repairs: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Administration of LP-PRP is associated with significantly reduced post-operative retear rates at minimum 12 months follow up compared to a saline injection control group. However, its use did not demonstrate clinically meaningful effects on postoperative pain or patient-reported outcomes, highlighting its primary benefit as enhancing structural healing.
Biologic Therapies in the Management of Sports-Related Tendon and Ligament Injuries: A Narrative Review
Sports-related tendon and ligament injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, often resulting in prolonged recovery and compromised performance. Traditional management strategies, including physiotherapy and surgical repair, may not yield optimal outcomes, prompting growing interest in biologic therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and other regenerative modalities.
Return to sport after shoulder arthroplasty: The role of fast-track rehabilitation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty
This study evaluated and compared clinical outcomes and return-to-sport rates in TSA patients following standard rehabilitation protocol and RSA patients following fast rehabilitation protocol.
SLAP Tear of the Shoulder
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage rim that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. SLAP stands for "superior labrum anterior and posterior," meaning that the tear occurs at the front of the upper arm where the bicep tendon connects to the shoulder.
