Abstract:

Background: Although healing rates and outcomes of arthroscopic single-row rotator cuff repairs have been compared with double-row repairs, none have utilized triple-loaded anchors. Purpose: To compare healing and function after single-row repairs with triple-loaded anchors versus double-row repairs with a suture-bridge technique. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A single surgeon performed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair on 47 consecutive patients with an easily reducible full-thickness rotator cuff tear of medium size (1-3 cm).

Abstract:

The road is an infrastructure that is often passed by the community. If there is damage, it will significantly disrupt community activities; for example, road conditions become jammed. This is necessary for the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of the City of Cirebon to handle the road repairs, but in carrying out repair planning, there are obstacles, one of which is the difficulty in determining priority for road repairs with limited funds from the center. This research decision support system using the Promethee II method aims to find accurate results that are useful in determining pr

Ankle sprains can lead to chronic lateral ankle instability caused by an injured anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), and surgery is often required when conservative treatments fail. BROSTROM surgery is considered the gold standard and has a definite curative effect. Advancements in arthroscopic surgery and improvements in implanted anchors have led to an increase in ATFL repairs using arthroscopic surgery. Arthroscopic AFTL repair is less invasive, and patients could experience faster recovery compared to open AFTL repair. To simplify the complicated suture-passing processes in arthroscopic

Rotator cuff tears are a common source of pain and impairment in the shoulder. Healing of the rotator cuff tendons following repair has been associated with improved patient outcomes. While there have been many technical improvements in surgical techniques for rotator cuff repair, failure rates are still surprisingly high. Augmentation of these repairs has been shown to help with fixation biomechanics as well as healing rates.

Current suture advancements in abdominoplasty and abdominal perforation repair have enhanced surgical outcomes. Innovations include antimicrobial sutures, which use agents like triclosan and silver nanoparticles to reduce surgical site infections without compromising suture integrity. Drug-eluting sutures release therapeutic agents directly at the wound site promote healing and reducing the need for systemic medications. Bioactive sutures and those seeded with stem cells aid tissue regeneration promising confirmed success in complex surgeries. Smart sutures featuring shape-memory polymers and

The incidence and indications for conversion from endoluminal to open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms are changing. This paper is based on a 5-year experience in which endoluminal repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms was undertaken in 156 patients. Primary conversion at the original operation was required in 14 patients and secondary conversion at a subsequent operation was required in 9 patients. The reasons for primary conversion were access problems ( n = 2), balloon related problems ( n = 2), endograft migration ( n = 4), endograft thrombosis ( n = 1) and failed deployment of a bifurc

A framework is presented to evaluate the safety and availability of the railway operation, and quantifying the probability of the signalling system not to supervise the railway traffic. Since a failure of the signalling systems still allows operation of the railway, it is not sufficient to study their effect on the railway operation by considering only the failures and delays. The safety and availability are evaluated, handling both repairs and replacements by using a Markov model. The model is verified with a case study of Swedish railway signalling systems with different scenarios. The resul
