Increased global posterior tibial slope is significantly associated with higher ACL graft signal intensity on 2-Year postoperative MRI after primary ACL reconstruction using hamstr... by Zhi-yu Zhang, Le-jin Hong, Wen-bin Bai, Jia-yi Shao, Yi-tian Gao, Xiao-yue Fu, Jian-quan Wang, Cheng Wang

“…Concomitant injuries were confirmed by arthroscopy. Posterior tibial slope (PTS) and anterior tibial subluxation (ATS) were measured on preoperative MRI, whereas the normalized signal intensity of the ACL graft was evaluated on postoperative MRI and calculated as the ratio of the graft signal intensity to that of the patellar tendon. …”

Cell-Based Therapies for the Treatment of Shoulder and Elbow Tendinopathies: A Scoping Review by Berardo Di Matteo, Riccardo Ranieri, Angelo Manca, Simone Cappato, Maurilio Marcacci, Elizaveta Kon, Alessandro Castagna

“…In all cases, an improvement was found in terms of clinical scores, with even evidence of tendon healing documented at second-look arthroscopy. Six papers dealt with elbow tendinopathies: three studies described the use of MSCs either with or without surgery, reporting significant clinical improvement and three studies analyzed the use of different types of cells (collagen-producing cells and autologous tenocytes) and, even in this case, clinical improvement was reported. …”
