Nonoperative treatment for anterior cruciate ligament injury in recreational alpine skiers - Online First - Springer

This article mirrors my thoughts, no rush to do surgery.  Surgery especially in patients older than 30 years must demonstrate instability.  In younger patients, not so sure that this is the way to go.

MRI Study of Associated Shoulder Pathology in Patients With Full-thickness Subscapularis Tendon Tears | Orthopedics

Although I think this is interesting.  I do not understand how this is clinically helpful or relevant except for correlating larger subscap tears with decreased CH distance and higher fatty degeneration.  How is this helpful?....this is only descriptive.
