Annalisa Di Cesare,Arrigo Giombini,Stefano Dragoni,Luciano Agnello,Maurizio Ripani,Vincenzo Maria Saraceni,Nicola Maffulli +6 more
TL;DR: Hyperthermia is a safe option in the management of calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder and Prospective randomized controlled studies with long term assessment are needed to further document its therapeutic efficacy.

Augmented repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures using gastrocnemius–soleus fascia
TL;DR: Although the study was a retrospective study, its strength was exactly that the authors did not use a different mobilisation and rehabilitation regime between the two groups, thus leaving augmentation as the only variable between theTwo arms of their study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical studies on transverse olecranon and patellar fractures: a systematic review with the development of a new scoring method
TL;DR: This article compares biomechanical studies of various fixation methods using a newly developed scoring method that was proved to be unbiased and reliable; however, extra specifications need to be added at some criteria when adopting the scoring method.
Journal ArticleDOI
