TL;DR: There is a need for standardized clinical and imaging validated scale to improve definition of post-operative knee osteoarthritis to allow easier and more reliable comparison of outcomes in different studies.

TL;DR: This is the first clinical report that shown a relationship between thyroid pathologies and non-traumatic rotator cuff tear as increased risk factors.

TL;DR: ADAMTSs (ADAM with thrombospondin motifs) are secreted into the circulation and constitute a heterogenous family of proteases with both anabolic and catabolic functions, and whether these new strategies are safe and effective in larger models is needed.

TL;DR: Easy accessible guidelines on rotator cuff tears management could be considered as recommendations for a good clinical practice developed through a process of systematic review of the literature and expert opinion, in order to improve the quality of care and rationalize the use of resources.

TL;DR: Arthroscopic surgery for the management of ACL tear and secondary lesions provides comparable clinical outcomes in middle-aged patients and in patients aged below 30 at 2 years, with non-significant intergroup difference.
