Trans-tendon suture bridge rotator cuff repair with tenotomized pathologic biceps tendon augmentation in high-grade PASTA lesions.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether trans-tendon suture bridge repair with tenotomized pathologic biceps tendon augmentation improves mid-term clinical outcomes for high-grade partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA) lesions or not. ⋯ Level IV, Retrospective case study.

Long-term migration characteristics of the Corail hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stem: a 14-year radiostereometric analysis follow-up study.
The magnitude and pattern of acceptable long-term migration of cementless femoral stems are not well understood. The Corail hydroxyapatite-coated cementless stem is a clinically successful and commonly used femoral stem with a long-term migration pattern not previously described in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term migration of the Corail hydroxyapatite-coated cementless stem using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) at 14-year follow-up, thereby establishing a benchmark acceptable long-term migration pattern for hydroxyapatite-coated cementless prostheses. ⋯ II.

Non-vascularized partial joint transfer for Finger Proximal Interphalangeal joint reconstruction: a series of 9 patients.
Finger proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) reconstruction after the destruction of parts of the joint remains challenging. Surgical techniques include implant arthroplasty, arthrodesis, free vascularized joint transfer, and non-vascularized bone and joint transfer. This study analyzes our experience after non-vascularized transfer in terms of range of motion, postoperative rehabilitation, and patient satisfaction. ⋯ In this study, non-vascularized partial joint transfer provides a mobile and stable PIP joint 4 years after reconstruction. The surgical technique presented herein is complex depending on additional injuries but results in great patient satisfaction.
