Bioinductive Collagen Implants Reduce Rotator Cuff Retear, Yet Cost-Effectiveness and Improvement in Clinical Outcomes Are Unclear
The estimated healthcare costs of failed arthroscopic RCRs performed in the United Statesrepresent a huge economic healthcare burden of greater than $400 million per two-year period. Unfortunately, retear rates do not appear to have improved significantly since the1980s, despite advances in surgical technology and the biomechanics of repair. The failure of these advances to translate into improved clinical results suggests that the limiting step inreducing retear rates is biology rather than the biomechanics of repair.

Sexual Function Improves After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome can cause pain and difficulty with sexual activity. Arthroscopic treatment of FAI can improve a patient ’s sexual health, as seen by improvement in patient reported outcomes (PROs). This correlates with improved quality of life scores. Sexual function scores improve for both males and females after surgery, but female improvement is greater, most likely because female sexual positioning may involve more flexion, abduction, and rotation than males. Reviewing patient PROs can help provide context for the treating surgeon for discussion both preoperatively and postoperatively (Sou...

Postoperative Decrease In Bone Marrow Lesion Associated with Better Clinical Outcomes Following Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy
The aim of the current study was to assess serial changes of preoperative bone marrow lesion(BML) following medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy(MOWHTO) up to 2 years and evaluate whether postoperative change of BML affected patient-reported outcome measures(PROMs) till the 2 years follow-up. Factors related to the postoperative changes in BML were also evaluated. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)
