Platelet-rich plasma: current concepts and application in sports medicine.

29 Sep 2009 Platelet-rich plasma is defined as autologous blood with a concentration of platelets above baseline values. Platelet-rich plasma has been used in maxillofacial and plastic surgery since the 1990s; its use in sports medicine is growing given its ... Read more...

Avulsion of the proximal hamstring origin. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The torn hamstring is a common athletic injury. The purpose of the present study was to review the clinical presentation of this injury, the diagnostic imaging findings, the surgical technique of reattachment, and the likely clinical ... Read more...

The effect of postoperative passive motion on rotator cuff healing in a rat model.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Surgical repairs of torn rotator cuff tendons frequently fail. Immobilization has been shown to improve tissue mechanical properties in an animal model of rotator cuff repair, and passive motion has been shown to improve joint mechanics ... Read more...
