Reconstruction of the central slip insertion of the extensor tendon with the partial slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon.
To introduce the surgical approach and clinical effect of transferring the partial slips of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon to reconstruct the insertion of the central slip of the extensor tendon (CSET) through an established bone tunnel (BT). ⋯ Therapeutic IV.

The aim of this study was to generate more information on the etiology and pathogenesis of medial (MM) and lateral (LM) meniscus root tears. Our hypothesis was that root tears of the MM predominantly result from degenerative damage, whereas root injuries of the LM are mainly of traumatic origin. ⋯ III.

Patient obesity is associated with severity of proximal humerus fractures, not outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of obesity on the outcome of operatively treated proximal humerus fractures. ⋯ Level III.

Does arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction using porcine dermal xenograft represent a viable option in case of massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear?
The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical and structural outcomes of patients with a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear treated with arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction using an acellular porcine dermal xenograft. We hypothesized that this procedure would lead to improvement in clinical and functional results and that structural failure would not influence the final clinical results. ⋯ Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction using an acellular porcine dermal xenograft may be a viable alternative to treat massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tear in patients with a painful pseudoparalysis without anterosuperior escape. Structural failure may strongly influence final outcomes with significant role played by tear location.

More than a feeling?-Overruling the preoperatively templated offset option leads to a minor offset increase in short stem total hip arthroplasty.
Short stems are increasingly used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of advantages in bone and soft tissue preservation and reconstruction of hip geometry. Digital templating is essential in determining the correct offset option and stem size in THA. However, the preoperative template sizes might be intraoperatively overruled. ⋯ Intraoperative overruling of the preoperative digital template in cementless short stem total hip arthroplasty results in an increase of hip offset compared to a contralateral healthy hip. However, the increase is marginal and clearly under 5 mm compared to the contralateral healthy hip.
