Labrum SLAP Tear
Your labrum is soft tissue that connects the socket part of the scapula (called the glenoid) with the head of the humerus. A tear in the labrum results in insufficient cushioning between those bones.
Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Periacetabular Osteotomy versus Hip Arthroscopy for Borderline Acetabular Dysplasia Are Comparable: A Systematic Review
The purpose of this systematic review was to compare patient populations and outcomes in studies treating borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) with either hip arthroscopy or periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). We hypothesized that studies would show significant postoperative improvement following both PAO and arthroscopy for BHD, and that subjects undergoing arthroscopy would have a higher rate of Cam morphology.
Preventing Shoulder Pain After Vaccine Injection (SIRVA)
Shoulder pain is a common side effect of a vaccine. Usually, it gets better fairly quickly and causes no long-term problems. However, some people develop a rare problem called shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA).
Soccer heading may cause more damage to the brain than previously thought
Heading is a widely used technique in soccer where the players control the direction of the ball by hitting it with their head. In recent years, research has been done that suggests a link between repeated head impacts and neurodegenerative diseases, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
What to Know About Shoulder Sprains and Strains
Shoulder sprains and strains are both injuries that can happen due to overuse of or trauma to the shoulder. While the symptoms of the two are similar, they involve different types of tissue within your body. Damage to these tissues can make it hard to move and use your shoulder.
Hip Arthroscopy Utilization Disparities and Complications Amongst Ethnic Groups
While hip arthroscopy (HA) has increased in recent years, limited data exists regarding utilization and outcomes among racial groups. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried for patients who underwent HA from 2006 to 2017.
Revolutionizing cartilage repair: The role of macrophages and hyaluronic acid in healing injuries
Injuries of the knee resulting in damage to cartilage affect approximately 900,000 Americans annually, resulting in more than 200,000 surgical procedures. These injuries are frequently associated with pain, diminished joint functionality, and reduced quality of life.
8 Bicep Tendonitis Exercises
If you have pain in your upper arm or shoulder, you may have irritated your biceps tendon, a condition known as biceps tendonitis. The pain may limit your shoulder motion and make performing normal work and recreational tasks difficult or impossible. You should see a healthcare provider who can diagnose biceps tendonitis and refer you to a physical therapist for treatment.
Augmented ACL reconstruction yielded faster functional recovery vs. no augmentation
ACL reconstruction with bone marrow aspirate, demineralized bone matrix and suture tape may improve functional outcomes.
Postless Hip Arthroscopy for Labrum Reconstruction and Labrum Augmentation
Postless hip arthroscopy is very popular nowadays, and several techniques have been published. To our knowledge, no published techniques have been described that access the hip with a postless technique in reconstructing a labrum in a complete, segmental, or augmented manner. We present a modified technique for hip labral augmentation and reconstruction without a post.
