Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft versus allograft.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical outcome of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft versus allograft. ⋯ Level II, prospective comparative study.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The effect of forced-air warming during arthroscopic shoulder surgery with general anesthesia.
The aim of this study was to compare the change in body temperature between the cotton blanket group and forced-air warming blanket group during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. In both groups irrigation fluid at room temperature (22 degrees C) was used. ⋯ Level I, randomized controlled trial.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparative study of the influence of room-temperature and warmed fluid irrigation on body temperature in arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation fluid temperature on body temperature and other variables, and to determine their correlations. ⋯ Level I, therapeutic randomized controlled trial.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Isolated repair of the medial patellofemoral ligament in primary dislocation of the patella: a prospective randomized study.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical reinsertion of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) to the adductor tubercle compared with conservative treatment in patients with primary dislocation of the patella. ⋯ Level I, therapeutic randomized controlled trial.
