Medial Meniscus Root Tears: Management With Single-Tunnel Repair and Meniscus Centralization
Administration of LP-PRP is associated with significantly reduced post-operative retear rates at minimum 12 months follow up compared to a saline injection control group. However, its use did not demonstrate clinically meaningful effects on postoperative pain or patient-reported outcomes, highlighting its primary benefit as enhancing structural healing.

Lysyl oxidase mediates regeneration of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix in the construction of tissue-engineered cartilage in vitro
Specifically, massive collagen fibers in ECM are covalently cross-linked by lysyl oxidase (LOX) to form a rigid cross-linked structure, contributing to certain mechanical properties.
Return to sport after shoulder arthroplasty: The role of fast-track rehabilitation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty
This study evaluated and compared clinical outcomes and return-to-sport rates in TSA patients following standard rehabilitation protocol and RSA patients following fast rehabilitation protocol.
SLAP Tear of the Shoulder
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage rim that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. SLAP stands for "superior labrum anterior and posterior," meaning that the tear occurs at the front of the upper arm where the bicep tendon connects to the shoulder.1
