Concomitant Biceps Tenodesis Does Not Compromise Rotator Cuff Repair Outcomes
The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of patients that underwent rotator cuff repair (RCR) with concomitant biceps tenodesis to those that underwent an isolated RCR. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

Meniscus Repair Technique Must be Determined on a Tear-by-Tear Basis: Hybrid Techniques Plus Biologics are Optimal
Bucket-handle meniscus tears alter knee biomechanics and significantly elevate the risk of osteoarthritis when the tissue is not preserved. Consequentially, meniscus repair is preferred whenever possible to optimize load distribution and knee stability, with the overall goal of joint preservation. Bucket-handle meniscus tears have a higher rate of repair failure compared to many other tear patterns, and both the inside-out (IO) and all-inside (AI) techniques are acceptable options, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Editorial Commentary: Both 3-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography Are Valuable for Determination of Glenoid and Humeral Bone Loss in Patients With On- and Off-Track Shoulder Instability
Improving the modalities for advanced glenohumeral joint imaging has been an important area to address in the field of orthopaedic surgery. The current gold standard for imaging glenoid and humeral bone loss in patients with shoulder instability, 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT), provides high-quality 3D images of bones but comes with a cost of extra time, additional imaging because of the need for an additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and exposure to radiation. Three-dimensional MRI is a promising solution that can produce high-contrast images depicting both bony structures and soft tissues. (Sou...

Editorial Commentary: Surgical Videos on YouTube Are Not Peer Reviewed and Have Low Educational Value
The rise of online platforms like YouTube for health information has prompted scrutiny over the quality of medical/surgical-related video content. Recent research on YouTube videos regarding anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon autograft shows low educational quality and reliability using established assessment tools. Physicians primarily published content, with longer videos, and physician-generated videos, generally correlating with higher quality. However, YouTube ’s inadequacy as a reliable source for ACLR information underscores the need for alternative educational resources. (Sour...

Editorial Commentary: Shoulder Stiffness Enhances Repair Integrity After Rotator Cuff Repair
Shoulder stiffness after rotator cuff repair is relatively common. In the past, this was thought to be a difficult complication, and many suggested manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic capsular release early in the postoperative course if a patient developed stiffness after rotator cuff repair. However, recent research shows such stiffness is actually a good thing. If a patient develops stiffness after rotator cuff repair, they have a better chance of healing their repair. Eventually, most of the stiffness resolves, and it may be that shoulder stiffness after rotator cuff repair is part of the natural healing resp...

Editorial Commentary: Tuberoplasty Is a Reliable Option to Address Pain in Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears
The massive irreparable rotator cuff tear remains a challenging condition for which there are many reported treatment options, including biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, subacromial decompression, cuff debridement, partial or augmented rotator cuff repair, bursal acromial reconstruction, balloon spacer placement, superior capsular reconstruction, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, and tendon transfer, among others. Optimally treating the condition relies on paying attention to several patient factors, including correctly identifying whether function loss is driven by pain or compromised shoulder kinematics.

Editorial Commentary: Noninferiority of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Dynamic Intraligamentary Stabilization at Short- to Mid-Term Follow-Up Does Not Justify Superseding Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction as the “Gold Standard” for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery
With advances in surgical technology, including the introduction of some kind of mechanical augmentation, there has been a resurgence of interest in primary repair of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). If successful, ACL repairs may provide several advantages over reconstruction resulting from the preservation of the native anatomy and proprioception. Recently, augmentation of ACL repair using dynamic intraligamentary stabilization (DIS) has been proposed, to create an optimal biomechanical environment for healing.
