PURPOSE: To compare arthroscopic repair without muscle advancement and open repair with muscle advancement in subscapularis tendon tears with fatty infiltration of Goutallier grade III or IV. METHODS: This study retrospectively investigated patients with subscapularis tears and advanced fatty infiltration of Goutallier grade III or IV between March 2009 and October 2022. Inclusion criteria were pre- and postoperative radiologic evaluation and a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Exclusion criteria inc

Background: First-time anterior shoulder subluxation is typically diagnosed based on subjective instability or positive physical examination findings. However, some patients present without any perceived instability yet demonstrate definitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings such as Bankart or Hill-Sachs (HS) lesions. Purpose: To study the pathoanatomy of unrecognized subluxation with first-time dislocation and typical subluxation. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence,

Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common shoulder disorders and can lead to pain, weakness, and limited mobility. Although the clinical condition has been widely studied, its molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this exploratory study, we analyzed the proteomic profile of synovial fluid in patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears and compared the results to those from a control group. Proteomic analysis was performed on synovial fluid samples from seven patients wi

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is characterized by focal and segmental obliteration of glomerular capillary tufts with increased matrix. FSGS is classified as collapsing, tip, cellular, perihilar and not otherwise specified variants according to the location and character of the sclerotic lesion. Primary or idiopathic FSGS is considered to be related to podocyte injury, and the pathogenesis of podocyte injury has been actively investigated. Several circulating factors affecting podocy
