To systematically review (1) biomechanical properties of augmented elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair compared with reconstruction and (2) clinical efficacy and complication rates of UCL repair with and without augmentation.

To compare clinical and structural outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in patients over 75 years and those under 75 years and to analyze the factors associated with retear and clinical outcomes after ARCR.

Shoulder arthroscopy is considered a very safe surgical procedure; however, there are possible complications that are prevalent or devastating.
