Over recent years hip arthroscopic surgery has
evolved into one of the most rapidly expanding fields in orthopaedic surgery.
Complications are largely transient and incidences between 0.5%
and 6.4% have been reported. However, major complications can and
do occur. This article analyses the reported complications and makes recommendations
based on the literature review and personal experience on how to
minimise them.
There is increasing application of bone morphogenetic proteins
(BMPs) owing to their role in promoting fracture healing and bone
fusion. However, an optimal delivery system has yet to be identified.
The aims of this study were to synthesise bioactive BMP-2, combine
it with a novel α-tricalcium phosphate/poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)
(α-TCP/PLGA) nanocomposite and study its release from the composite. BMP-2 was synthesised using an Objectives

To evaluate the neck strength of school-aged rugby players, and
to define the relationship with proxy physical measures with a view
to predicting neck strength. Cross-sectional cohort study involving 382 rugby playing schoolchildren
at three Scottish schools (all male, aged between 12 and 18 years).
Outcome measures included maximal isometric neck extension, weight,
height, grip strength, cervical range of movement and neck circumference.Objectives

The pathogenesis of rotator cuff disease (RCD) is complex and
not fully understood. This systematic review set out to summarise
the histological and molecular changes that occur throughout the
spectrum of RCD. We conducted a systematic review of the scientific literature
with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.Introduction
