Editorial Commentary : May the Force Be With You—Preoperative Strength Is the Rotator Cuff Retear Predictor We Can Actually Train

Dustin J. Kress, Toufic Raja Jildeh

Predicting the clinical course of rotator cuff repairs is one of the most significant and unresolved challenges in shoulder surgery. Most established predictors of retear (e.g., advanced age, fatty infiltration, large tear size, and tendon retraction) are nonmodifiable-already set prior to the …

Shear wave elastography reveals elevated infrapatellar fat pad stiffness in patients with early osteoarthritis symptoms after ACL reconstruction

Matthew S. Harkey, Corey D. Grozier, Jessica Tolzman, Arjun S. Parmar et autres

The infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) plays an important role in knee biomechanics and inflammation, particularly following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study investigated whether IPFP stiffness, measured with shear wave elastography, is associated with early symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) in individuals …
