How Fast Can Young TKA Patients Get Back to Sports?
That’s the question a team of Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve researchers tried to answer with a systematic review of the literature. The team was hoping to quantify to determine rates, timelines, and prognostic factors which can determine how fast young TKA patients return to work and / or return to sports. Their work, “Return to Sports and Return to Work After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” was published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery on July 27, 2023.
How to Wear a Shoulder Sling

Long-term, clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair may be improved with concomitant acromioplasty in patients with a Type III acromion
In theory, extrinsic anterolateral acromial impingement of the rotator cuff can contribute to cuff tearing. Thus, acromioplasty may be performed concomitantly with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). A review of recent randomized controlled trials confirms that patient long-term outcomes after ARCR is superior when acromioplasty is performed, when compared to no concomitant acromioplasty, while complication and retear rates are similar.
