To determine the effects of mixing anesthetics or corticosteroids with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human tenocytes in vitro. ⋯ Anesthetics or corticosteroids either alone or in combination should be used carefully to preserve the proposed positive effects of PRP in the treatment of tendon injury.
-
The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term functional outcome of anatomic arthroscopic repair of type II SLAP lesions with suture anchors. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.
-
The purpose of this study was to measure the in vivo graft tension in anatomic 2-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction during active leg-raising exercise with the knee immobilized. ⋯ These findings will help to plan postoperative rehabilitation programs with security.
-
The follow-up results of bony union after an arthroscopic bony Bankart repair have not been reported. We studied follow-up computed tomography (CT) arthrograms to evaluate radiographic healing of bony Bankart fragments. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.
