Autograft
Biceps autograft patch augmentation may be viable option for rotator cuff repair
WASHINGTON — Results presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting showed that biceps autograft patch augmentation may be a promising option for rotator cuff repair.
Isolated ACL reconstruction had increased graft failure vs. combined ACL reconstruction
NEW ORLEANS — Isolated ACL reconstruction with bone-tendon-bone autograft yielded an increased risk of graft failure compared with ACL reconstruction plus anterolateral ligament reconstruction with hamstring autograft, according to results.
Quadriceps autograft may be a viable option for revision ACL reconstruction
NEW ORLEANS — An all-soft tissue quadriceps autograft may be a viable graft option in revision ACL reconstruction with similar outcomes, return to sport and complication rates as bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, according to results.
Quadriceps grafts had similar revision, reoperation rates vs. patellar, hamstring grafts
NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed quadriceps tendon grafts had no significant differences in revision or reoperation rates after ACL reconstruction compared with bone-patellar tendon-bone or hamstring autografts.
Do data support the continued use of SCR for massive rotator cuff treatment?
The most common procedures for the surgical management of irreparable cuff tears include partial repair, SCR, the subacromial balloon, reverse shoulder arthroplasty and tendon transfers, particularly lower trapezius transfers.
Capsulodesis with internal brace augmentation for scapholunate ligament tears
Tears of the scapholunate ligament are common wrist ligament injuries and can be partial or complete. Partial ligament tears can initially be treated nonoperatively, however operative treatment can be considered if symptoms persist.
55-year-old woman with persistent nonunion in an upper extremity
A 55-year-old woman initially sustained a closed, right distal third humeral shaft fracture in 2005 after a motor vehicle crash and underwent open reduction and internal fixation while she was living in the Dominican Republic.
Autograft, allograft use for nerve gap repair may have comparable recovery rates
Published results showed autograft and allograft repair in peripheral nerve reconstruction had comparable rates of meaningful recovery regardless of gap length or nerve type, while conduit repairs had lower meaningful recovery rates.
ACL injury with meniscus ramp lesion in 24-year-old professional athlete
A 24-year-old male professional soccer player sustained an acute twisting injury during match play. He presented 1 week later and reported having acute right knee swelling and the inability to bear weight on his right lower extremity.
Perpendicular plating achieves fixation of acromion fracture after RSA
Open reduction and internal fixation of acromion fractures with or without previous reverse shoulder arthroplasty can provide significant relief for patients who lack mobility in the injured shoulder and have failed conservative treatment.
