The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that affect the treatment outcomes of arthroscopic debridement for central triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions in adults <45 years of age. ⋯ Level IV, case series.

When it comes to medical research, incentives align to promote "publish or perish." This results in quantity over quality. A solution is to change the goal of medical scientist and clinician training from bolstering a curriculum vitae to mastering scientific research methods. In addition, the metric for scholarly authorship should be quality, for which validated measurement tools exist, rather than number of publications.
-
To compare union rates and clinical and radiologic outcomes after arthroscopic and open bone grafting and internal fixation for unstable scaphoid nonunions. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.
-
To evaluate the effect of critical shoulder angle (CSA), acromion index (AI), and glenoid inclination (GI) on the postoperative healing rate after arthroscopic supraspinatus tendon repair. ⋯ III, case control study.
-
To determine the effect of 2 extra-articular reconstructions on pivot-shift rotational stability and tibial internal rotation as a basis for clinical recommendations. ⋯ A low-tension ITB tenodesis has limited clinical utilization as the pivot-shift subluxations are not affected, assuming appropriate tensioning to not overconstrain internal tibial rotation.
