Background: It is undetermined which factors predict return to work after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Purpose: To identify which factors predicted return to work at any level and return to preinjury levels of work 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Multiple logistic...
A cohort study evaluating the effect of the duration of symptoms prior to surgery on the outcomes of patients who underwent type II SLAP repair First described by Andrews et al., superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears are a cause of significant pain and disability.¹...
Surgical repair of the distal biceps tendon rupture can be a challenge, especially when patients present with a retracted tendon. The tendon stump is often difficult to find and retrieve. In this aticle, we described a technique using ultrasound imaging at the start of the procedure....
Patients who underwent an arthroscopic capsular release for idiopathic adhesive capsulitis experienced significant reductions in pain, improvements in range of motion, and improvements in overall shoulder function in the first postoperative week. These immediate improvements in pain and function continue to improve at 6, 12,...
The American Journal of Sports Medicine has just published our work on vibration and tendon healing. Vibration therapy is quite useful for a number of conditions and particularly in preventing bone loss in the skeleton. We thought it might be useful to help enhance healing...
