(P=.48, .08, .47, respectively). At 1 year after operation, the resorption rate of the bone graft was 19.4%.
 
  This study found that anterior shoulder instability with subcritical (10%-15%) glenoid bone loss treated with arthroscopic autologous scapular spine bone graft with suture anchor fixation is safe and could achieve satisfactory result at short-term follow-up.

  To evaluate the correlation between cutting-through at the greater tuberosity (GT) in arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair and the bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, hip, and ipsilateral GT of the proximal humerus and to evaluate factors and clinical outcomes related to cutting-through.
 
  This study prospectively enrolled patients who underwent arthroscopic knotted suture-bridge rotator cuff repair for full-thickness rotator cuff tears between June 2014 and October 2015 and who had undergone dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry cans within 1 month before surgery with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Cutting-through was defined as the occurrence of cortical breakage of the GT just medial to the lateral knotless anchor hole due to the tension of the sutures from the medial anchor, and it was assessed. Clinical and radiologic data were analyzed. Univariate and regression analyses were performed to evaluate factors related to cutting-through.
 
  A total of 78 patients were analyzed. Patients were dcopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair.

  To evaluate clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes of patients who underwent primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair using suture tape augmentation.
 
  Patients with a proximal tear of the ACL who underwent primary ACL repair with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included. The exclusion criteria included multiligamentous knee injuries, midsubstance tears, tibial avulsion fractures, and distal tears. Demographic characteristics, injury pattern, concomitant injury pattern, and patient-reported outcome measures were recorded. Patients were evaluated at a minimum 2-year follow-up for clinical success, defined as stability not requiring revision ACL reconstruction, and for patient-reported outcome measurements. Failure was defined as the need for revision surgery.
 
  The mean follow-up period was 2.8 ± 0.9 years. Thirty-five patients met the inclusion criteria, with an average age of 32.2 ± 7.2 years, and 2-year follow-up was obtained for 29 of these patients. Revision surgery was required in 2 of the 29 patients (6.9%); successful treatment was achieved in the remaining 93.1%. The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for the 27 successfully treated patients were recorded, with 70.4% having Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores of 80 or greater.
 
  This case series shows that primary surgical repair of proximal ACL tears using suture tape augmentation results in a low rate of revision surgery.

  The purpose of this study was to assess the prognostic effect of lumbar spinal stenosis on clinical outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI).
 
  Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy between September 2009 and December 2015 for FAI with concomitant lumbar spinal stenosis (central/neuroforaminal) and a 2-year follow-up were identified (hip-spine). A 11 case-matching query using preoperative modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) within 3 points, body mass index (BMI) within 3 points, age within 5 years, and sex identified a control cohort without spinal pathology. Follow-up patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and clinical failure rates to revision procedure were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
 
  Twenty-six patients met criteria of the hip-spine group (age 45.9 ± 12.2 years; BMI 27.3 ± 5.0 kg/m
  , baseline mHHS 44.17 ± 2.76) vs the control group (age 46.2 ± 12.4 years, P= .94; BMI 26.7 ± 4.1 kg/m
  , P= .61; baseline mHHS 44.27 ± 2.82, Pudy.

  The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that arthroscopic Bankart repair with associated arthroscopic subscapularis augmentation (ASA) could be a valid surgical option in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability, in collision and contact sports athletes, affected by shoulder hyperlaxity.
 
  In total, 591 arthroscopic Bankart repairs plus ASA were performed in 6 shoulder centers from 2009 to 2017. Inclusion criteria were the following collision and contact sports activities, recurrent anterior instability associated with hyperlaxity and glenoid bone loss (GBL) < 15%. Exclusion criteria were GBL > 15%, voluntary instability, multidirectional instability, pre-existing osteoarthritis and throwing athletes. The minimum follow-up was 24 months.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/nx-1607.html  Hyperlaxity was clinically evaluated according to Neer and Coudane-Walch tests. Before surgery, all patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scanning. Pico area method was used to assess the percentage of GBL. Patients were operBL (<15%) and hyperlaxity, without compromising external rotation.

  The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the radiographic outcomes of allograft dowels used in 2-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to compare the incorporation rates of dowels placed in tibial and femoral tunnels.
 
  Prospective review of patients who underwent 2-stage revision ACLR with allograft bone dowels. Inclusion criteria were tibial/femoral tunnel diameter of ≥14 mm on preoperative computed tomography (CT) or overlapping of prior tunnels with planned tunnels. Second-stage timing was determined based on qualitative dowel integration on CT obtained at ∼3 months after the first stage. Quantitative analysis of incorporation rates was performed with the union ratio (UR) and occupying ratio (OR) on postoperative CT scans.
 
  Twenty-one patients, with a mean (SD) age of 32.1 (11.4; range, 18-50) years, were included. Second-stage procedures were performed at a mean (SD) of 6.5 (2.1; range, 2.4-11.5) months after first-stage revision. All dowels showed no signs of degradation at the host bone/graft junction at the second-stage procedure.
