⭐️ New Editorial in Arthroscopy: Rotator Cuff Repair + Bioinductive Patch Augmentation ⭐️

Rotator cuff tears remain one of the most common—and challenging—problems we treat in shoulder surgery. Even with modern techniques, healing rates can be unpredictable, especially in larger tears.

In this editorial, our team discusses the evolving evidence surrounding bioinductive collagen implant augmentation, including:
• Improving tendon healing and structural integrity
• The growing data on cost-effectiveness
• Why careful patient selection remains critical

As biologic augmentation becomes more common, the key question isn’t simply whether it works—but which patients benefit the most.

One of my favorite parts of sports medicine is getting out of the clinic and into the community.

Whether it’s collaborating with physical therapists, speaking with community groups, or sharing injury education, these conversations help us all better serve our patients.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn from one another and keep improving together.

⭐️ Rotator Cuff Repair + Biceps Rerouting Augmentation ⭐️

Not all rotator cuff tears are the same — and some larger tears may need extra reinforcement to improve strength and healing.

One advanced technique is biceps rerouting augmentation. In select cases, the biceps tendon is kept attached to the shoulder socket (glenoid) and secured to the top of the humerus (greater tuberosity). This allows it to function as a biologic reinforcement to support the rotator cuff repair — especially in areas where the tendon tissue is thin or deficient.

This isn’t necessary for every patient, but it can be a valuable option in more complex tears.

⭐️ PCL Injuries Explained ⭐️

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) helps prevent the tibia from translating backward relative to the femur.

Common injury mechanisms include:

👉 Direct blow to the front of the knee (dashboard injury)
👉 Fall or tackle onto a flexed knee

PCL injuries often occur alongside other ligament or structural injuries — so a careful exam is critical.

Key exam findings may include:

✅ Positive posterior drawer
✅ Posterior tibial sag
✅ Quadriceps active test

This reel demonstrates an example of a clinical exam in a patient with a PCL injury.

⭐️ Revision ACL Surgery: Why Add an LET? ⭐️

ACL grafts can unfortunately re-tear — sometimes requiring revision reconstruction.

When an ACL fails, it’s critical to evaluate all contributing factors (alignment, tunnel position, biology, instability patterns, rehab, etc.) before planning revision surgery.

In select patients — especially in the revision setting — adding a Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis (LET) can help reduce rotational instability and lower the risk of re-tear, improving the chances of a successful outcome.

⭐️ ACL Tears: What You Should Know ⭐️

ACL injuries are common — especially in cutting, pivoting, and jumping sports — but understanding risk factors and prevention strategies can help athletes stay in the game.

This article highlights key information about ACL injuries, why they occur more frequently in certain populations, and ways to reduce injury risk.

If you’ve experienced an ACL tear, an evaluation with a sports medicine–trained orthopaedic surgeon can help determine the best treatment plan to safely get you back to the activities you love.

⭐️ Not all rotator cuff tears are the same ⭐️

A rotator cuff tear isn’t just “torn” or “not torn.”
 Some tears are partial, some are complete, and complete tears can differ in size, location, and how much the tendon has pulled back.

That’s why treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your MRI, symptoms, activity level, and goals all matter when deciding the best plan for you.
