Published results showed patients who received bone marrow stimulation with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair had similar functional, clinical and radiographic outcomes at 2 years compared with a control group.

Published results showed de-rotational osteotomy with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction was associated with better outcomes vs. tibial tubercle transfer with MPFL reconstruction for patellar instability and torsion deformity.

Results showed patients with postoperative negative pain thoughts after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair may have worse patient-reported outcomes vs. patients without negative pain thoughts or preoperative negative pain thoughts.

BOSTON — According to presented results, in-office needle tendoscopy yielded improvements in short-term clinical and functional outcomes for patients with midsubstance chronic Achilles tendinopathy.

BOSTON — According to presented results, meniscal repair with augmentation using marrow venting and platelet-rich plasma did not significantly affect patient-reported outcomes or survivorship at minimum 2-year follow-up.
