According to results from a randomized controlled trial of patients with radial head fractures, headless screws yielded better range of motion with fewer complications compared with miniplates, despite similar union rates.

Treatment options for large and massive rotator cuff tears, in the setting of failed conservative treatment, include debridement, isolated biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, primary repair, partial repair, subacromial spacer, superior capsular reconstruction, biologic tuberoplasty, bridging reconstructio...
