Alexandra Kirkley,Trevor B. Birmingham,Robert Litchfield,J. Robert Giffin,Kevin Willits,Cindy J. Wong,Brian G. Feagan,Allan Donner,Sharon Griffin,Janet E. Pope,Peter J. Fowler +10 more
TL;DR: In this controlled trial involving patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, the outcomes after arthroscopic lavage or arthro scopic débridement were no better than those after a placebo procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Development and Evaluation of a Disease-Specific Quality of Life Measurement Tool for Shoulder Instability The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)
TL;DR: The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index is suggested that this measurement tool be used as the primary outcome measure to evaluate treatments in this patient population, although it can also be used for monitoring patients' progress in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing the Effectiveness of Immediate Arthroscopic Stabilization Versus Immobilization and Rehabilitation in First Traumatic Anterior Dislocations of the Shoulder
TL;DR: It is recommended that immediate arthroscopic stabilization is the treatment of choice in a subset of patients who are younger than 30 years and are higher level athletes, and the timing for surgery is good or their sport is risky, i.e., rugby, football, kayaking, rock climbing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scoring systems for the functional assessment of the shoulder
TL;DR: Investigators planning clinical trials should select modern instruments that have been developed with appropriate patient input for item generation and reduction, and established validity and reliability, among the other factors discussed in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development and evaluation of a disease-specific quality-of-life questionnaire for disorders of the rotator cuff: The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index.
TL;DR: This measurement tool can be used as the primary outcome in clinical trials evaluating treatments in this patient population, although its features are equally attractive for monitoring patients' progress in clinical practice.
