Clinical Challenges in Managing Shoulder Osteoarthritis and Suprascapular Neuropathy
Chronic shoulder pain is a common and multifactorial condition. Suprascapular nerve neuropathy, although relatively uncommon, may lead to pain, weakness, and muscle atrophy as a result of extrinsic compression, trauma, or inflammation. When it occurs in the presence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis, overall shoulder function may be further compromised, complicating both diagnostic assessment and therapeutic decisionmaking.

Does losing weight make an athlete better? Associations between body composition and performance
In endurance sports such as running and cross-country skiing, a lighter body weight can improve relative power generation and reduce energy consumption. However, losing weight requires an energy deficit, which can negatively impact health and performance. Therefore, weight optimization always involves balancing the benefits and risks. In addition to weight, body composition can also impact an athlete's performance.

Reported Rates of Labral Repair and Reconstruction in Primary Hip Arthroscopy Vary Widely Across Published Studies: A Systematic Review
Among studies reporting labral repair and reconstruction during primary hip arthroscopy, the proportion of each procedure performed varies widely. These findings highlight the procedural heterogeneity across surgeons performing hip arthroscopy.
Short to mid-term outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears in patients with diabetes
The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) at short- to mid-term timepoints comparing these results to a control group of non-DM patients.
