The purpose of this study was to determine the interobserver reliability of 3 commonly used classification systems in describing preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of patients undergoing surgery for full-thickness rotator cuff tears. ⋯ Level III, diagnostic agreement study with nonconsecutive patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Clinical outcome and imaging of arthroscopic single-row and double-row rotator cuff repair: a prospective randomized trial.
The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and imaging outcomes of single-row and double-row suture anchor fixation in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with emphasis on analysis of the effect of various tear size on repair integrity. ⋯ Level II, lesser-quality randomized control trial.

The aims of this study were to evaluate the anatomic feasibility of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using a part of the adductor magnus tendon and to identify possible risks. ⋯ Anatomic knowledge is essential during adductor magnus tendon harvest to avoid damage to neurovascular structures. The adductor magnus tendon is an interesting alternative graft option for MPFL reconstruction if anatomic dangers are considered and avoided.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
A prospective, randomized evaluation of acellular human dermal matrix augmentation for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
To prospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic acellular human dermal matrix augmentation of large rotator cuff tear repairs. ⋯ Level II, lesser-quality randomized controlled trial.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effect of two rehabilitation protocols on range of motion and healing rates after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: aggressive versus limited early passive exercises.
To compare range of motion and healing rates between 2 different rehabilitation protocols after arthroscopic single-row repair for full-thickness rotator cuff tear. ⋯ Level II, randomized controlled trial.
