High vertical and horizontal stability at short term follow-up after an all-endoscopic double cerclage endobutton technique for acute acromioclavicular joint separations
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) separations using an all-endoscopic double cerclage endobutton technique compared to an arthroscopic-assisted single bundle endobutton technique. The secondary aim was to analyze the complication, failure and revision rate of both procedures. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

Editorial Commentary: Suture Bacterial Contamination May Contribute to Impaired Healing or Retear After Rotator Cuff Repair, Even Using Arthroscopic Techniques
Bacterial contamination as a result of suture contamination may be associated with rotator cuff retear or impaired tendon healing after rotator cuff repair. This represents a potential new area of focus and intervention. Despite an array of rotator cuff repair techniques, from varying suture configurations and double-row repairs to biologic adjuncts and patches, a substantial proportion of repairs do not heal or go on to retear. Decades of research have been dedicated to identifying risk factors for these failures and mitigating their influence. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

No Clinical Difference in Outcomes Between Inlay and Onlay Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis Techniques during Rotator Cuff Repair
Both inlay and onlay arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (ABT) are common procedures performed during rotator cuff repair. The inlay method involves creating a bone socket in the bicipital groove to secure the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) using an interference screw. The onlay method utilizes a suture anchor to secure the LHBT on the surface of the bicipital groove. Little is known on the long-term differences in patient reported outcomes (PROs) between these two techniques. The primary purpose of this study was to compare PROs of inlay versus onlay ABT with a minimum follow-up of two years. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Efficacy of Arthroscopy-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery in the Treatment of Patients with Tibial Plateau Fractures
CONCLUSION: Arthroscopy-assisted minimally invasive surgery is highly effective in treating TPFs. Specifically, this surgery further improves knee symptoms, promotes the recovery of knee function, elevates knee ROM, and reduces the risk of postoperative complications compared to traditional open reduction and internal fixation.PMID:38518145 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Clinical anatomy of the popliteal artery and its implications in total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Folia Morphol (Warsz). 2024 Mar 21. doi: 10.5603/fm.98506. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe popliteal artery (PA) is a lower extremity arterial vessel, a continuation of the superficial femoral artery. PA may be injured in the majority of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as well as arthroscopic surgeries which may lead to acute ischemic injury. Our objective was analyzing morphometry of PA in relation to other structures both in flexion and extension of the knee, highlighting discrepancies in the PA's location in varying positions. Literature was reviewed in regards to morphological qualities, prevalence rates, and variants...
