Discussion This case series found that 72 out of 80 (90%) people with acute ACL rupture who were managed with a novel bracing protocol involving immobilisation of the knee at 90° flexion, had evidence of ACL healing (a continuous ACL) on 3-month MRI. An ACLOAS grade 1 on 3-month MRI was associated with better 12-month knee function and QOL, reduced passive knee laxity and a higher rate of return-to-sport, compared with an ACLOAS grades 2–3.

Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has been the gold standard of care for end-stage glenohumeral arthritis. Outcomes are varied and have been affected by both patient and implant characteristics. Patient factors, such as age, preoperative diagnosis, and preoperative glenoid morphology, can affect the outcomes after TSA. Similarly, the different glenoid and humeral component designs significantly affect the survivorship of TSA.
