The purpose of this study was to look at the functional outcomes of arthroscopic repair of anterosuperior rotator cuff tears with open biceps tenodesis when indicated. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Comparative Study
Does posterior tibial slope influence knee functionality in the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient and anterior cruciate ligament-reconstructed knee?
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between knee functionality and posterior tibial slope in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient and ACL-reconstructed patients. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.

The purpose of this study was to assess whether it was possible to harvest plugs from the posterior femoral condyles with a standard mosaicplasty instrumentation through retroligamentous approaches and whether the plugs harvested from the posterior condyles presented the same characteristics as those harvested from the standard donor sites regarding the length, cartilage thickness, and cartilage angle. ⋯ The posterior condyles cannot be proposed as a donor site for osteochondral autograft with a mosaicplasty instrumentation because it is difficult to obtain plugs with a perpendicular cartilage surface from this localization.

Comparative Study
Comparative analysis of single-row versus double-row repair of rotator cuff tears.
Our goal in this analysis was to compare clinical outcomes and radiographic healing rates of double-row (DR) transosseous-equivalent versus single-row (SR) Mason-Allen configuration (MAC) arthroscopic repair techniques. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.
