Arthroscopic Versus Open Elbow Debridements Among ABOS Part II Candidates: A Decline in Arthroscopic Volume yet Fewer Complications After Arthroscopic Procedures
Loose body removal and debridement remain common indications for elbow arthroscopy. This study identifies trends in elbow arthroscopy versus open procedures for loose body removal and debridement among American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Part II Oral Examination candidates and compares the use of elbow arthroscopy among candidates with different fellowship training backgrounds.
Arthroscopic repair of posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears provides good clinical outcomes despite high re-tear rate in the mid-term
Arthroscopic repair of posterosuperior MRCT provides significant pain and function improvement. Despite a high retear rate, mid-term clinical results remain favorable, with low complication and revision rates.

Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) represents a major cause of pain and disability among older adults. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a promising biologic therapy aimed at modulating inflammation and promoting cartilage repair. As the clinical use of PRP has expanded, a rapidly growing body of literature has developed examining its efficacy and mechanisms of action in knee OA. Bibliometric analysis provides a useful method to evaluate research productivity, collaborative networks, and emerging trends within a scientific field.
