Physical Therapy Exercises for Recovery From a Clavicle Fracture
A fractured clavicle, or fractured collarbone, generally occurs from a fall onto the shoulder or after enough pressure is placed on the bone that it breaks. The fracture may be partial or complete and often requires surgical repair or immobilization while it heals.
Meniscal preservation may improve ACL reconstruction outcomes in concurrent meniscal tears
Results showed partial meniscectomy was associated with a higher risk for revision ACL reconstruction and conversion to TKA.
Let them move: Early range of motion and rehabilitation after fixation of medial epicondyle fractures in adolescent athletes
Medial epicondyle fractures account for 11%–20% of pediatric elbow fractures. While nonoperative treatment is effective, surgery is often recommended for overhead athletes to enhance union rates, valgus stability, and expedited return to sporting activities. Postoperative recovery protocols vary, with traditionally up to 2 weeks of strict immobilization and rehabilitation lasting 6–12 months. This study evaluates the early range of motion (ROM) and accelerated rehabilitation in high-performing youth athletes undergoing surgical fixation.
Standardization of Platelet-Rich Plasma Preparation in Orthopedics: A Review of the Literature and Proposal for a Reproducible Protocol
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is widely used in orthopedics and sports medicine as an autologous product; however, substantial heterogeneity in manufacture and incomplete reporting of preparation parameters limits reproducibility and inter-study comparability.: We performed a PRISMA-guided methodological review of studies describing PRP preparation, subsequently focusing on orthopedic applications.
