Nerve growth factor gene delivery via nanosphere-hydrogel composites enhances tendon-bone interface healing biomechanically, histologically, and functionally in rotator cuff repair models.
Higher neuromuscular performance in youth handball players enables superior match outputs but postmatch fatigue patterns differ, with unclear recovery advantages.
Concomitant meniscal repair with ACL reconstruction shows higher subsequent procedures but similar ACL reoperation rates; successful repairs achieve outcomes comparable to isolated ACLR.
Yoda1 treatment promotes rotator cuff healing by increasing M2 macrophage infiltration and improving biomechanical properties at the tendon-bone interface.
Sex Differences in Pacing Profile and Reliability in a 4-km Cycling Time Trial.
Men and women exhibit similar pacing profiles and endurance reliability in cycling time trials, though women show slightly greater day-to-day pacing variability.
Monosodium urate crystal deposition significantly impairs microfracture outcomes in osteochondral lesions; uric acid elevation is an independent adverse prognostic factor.
Military orthopaedic research over 25 years advanced anterior shoulder instability management through epidemiology, biomechanics, imaging validation, and novel glenoid reconstruction techniques like distal tibia allograft.
Fibroadipoprogenitor cells drive fatty infiltration in rotator cuff disease; understanding their role informs potential stem cell-based treatments to improve repair outcomes.
Allograft selection for ACL reconstruction depends on patient age and activity; low-dose irradiation preserves biomechanical properties better than high-dose.
An international Delphi consensus of shoulder experts agreed on return-to-play and revision criteria for posterior shoulder instability, but found no consensus on optimal glenoid bone graft fixation or osteotomy indications.
Nonsurgical management with rest and platelet-rich plasma aids healing in UCL injuries; UCL reconstruction remains benchmark for tears unsuitable for conservative treatment.
Deep learning applications in orthopaedics include registry construction, diagnostic AI, and data privacy; surgeons need practical understanding to evaluate and implement models.
