Summary: In a cohort of patients with shoulder pain, older age, involvement of the dominant shoulder, and a higher body mass index were found to be independently associated with rotator cuff tears. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these associations.

Summary: Genetic factors may influence the age at diagnosis for atraumatic rotator cuff tear patients. Specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with younger diagnosis age, but not with bilateral tear prevalence or tear size. Further research is needed to determine if genetic markers can be used alongside patient characteristics to identify optimal surgical repair candidates.

Summary: The study revealed that 43.1% of revision rotator cuff repairs had neglected subscapularis tears, with further deterioration of fatty infiltration and higher retear rates after repair. Detection and treatment of subscapularis tears through meticulous preoperative evaluation and thorough inspection during primary arthroscopy are essential.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of using human dermal allografts in the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears and found that it led to good results that were maintained at a mean of nine years postoperatively. The use of this treatment demonstrated significant improvement in clinical symptoms and function for patients.

Summary: The study compared the clinical and radiographic results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) with biceps rerouting (BR) and conventional repair for semirigid, large-to-massive rotator cuff tear. It found that ARCR + BR had a significantly lower retear rate compared to conventional treatment, and identified partial tearing involving more than 50% of the long head of the biceps tendon and wide/thin tendon morphology as significant risk factors for postoperative retear.

Summary: Metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes mellitus may impact the outcomes of arthroscopic repair for chronic rotator cuff tears, including reoperation and functional improvements. A retrospective cohort study of 80 patients with a minimum follow-up of 5 years was conducted in the Canary Islands. The results suggest that obesity and diabetes could potentially decrease the subjective improvement in functionality after surgery and increase the risk of reoperation in obese individuals.

Summary: The prevalence of psychological factors in patients with rotator cuff tears (RCT) and their impact on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) were evaluated in this study. The results showed that psychological impairment significantly affects pain level, shoulder function, sleep disturbance, and quality of life in RCT patients. Surgical treatment can potentially improve these outcomes with multidisciplinary biopsychosocial intervention.

Summary: This review evaluated the effects of platelet-rich plasma injection on shoulder function improvement and pain relief in partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. The results showed that platelet-rich plasma had significantly better effects compared to placebo and other conservative treatments at different follow-up times in terms of shoulder function improvement and pain relief.

Summary: Factors associated with symptomatic rotator cuff tears include demographic, disease, and imaging factors. Risk factors for rotator cuff tears include older age, greater BMI, smoking, traumatic events, and acromion index. Addressing these factors may help delay the progression of rotator cuff tears.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of subacromial decompression in patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears by reevaluating patients from a previous randomized controlled trial. The findings showed that both patients who underwent rotator cuff repair with or without acromioplasty experienced improved outcomes at a long-term follow-up. There were no differences in patient-reported outcomes between these groups, but a significantly higher reoperation rate was observed in patients without acromioplasty, particularly in those with a Type-2 or 3 acromion.

Summary: Partial thickness rotator cuff tears (PRCTs) are a challenging disease entity with controversial management options. Conservative treatment is often preferred, but surgical intervention may limit tear progression. Surgical decision making is influenced by factors such as age, etiology, and activity level.

Summary: This study compared postoperative functional outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients with rotator cuff tears only versus those with concomitant cervical radiculopathy. The findings indicated that patients with both conditions achieved similar postoperative functional outcomes after surgery.

Summary: This study investigated the minimum 10-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) and reported reoperation and complication rates. The results showed that patients had significantly improved PROs and high satisfaction at a minimum 10-year follow-up after arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. The procedure was also found to be highly durable, with a clinical survivorship rate of 100% at 10 years.

Summary: This study found asymmetrical decrease in femoral neck version in unilateral SCFE, with increased differences when including the femoral head's center. The prevalence of femoral retroversion was high in patients with SCFE, especially when using proximal anatomic landmarks. Due to the wide range of femoral version angles, femoral version cannot be predicted in a given hip and must be assessed individually.

Summary: This study utilized 3D computed tomography reconstructions to investigate the changes in acetabular lunate cartilage at different developmental stages and between sexes. Results showed that femoral head coverage decreased with age more significantly in females, while male lunate cartilages were larger in absolute terms. These findings have important implications for understanding acetabular coverage changes in the later stages of pediatric and adolescent development.

Summary: The study found that LCPD hips had predominantly increased femoral version, while the contralateral unaffected hips had mostly normal femoral version. The difference in femoral version between the affected and unaffected hips increased as the version of the affected hip increased. There was no effect of sex on the femoral version in LCPD hips.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the impact of acetabular dysplasia and hip instability on outcomes of female patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI. The findings suggest that female patients with combined LCEA ≤ 25 degrees and AWI <0.35 had worse postoperative outcomes, and an LCEA between 18 degrees and 25 degrees was predictive of poorer results.
