Background and objectives: Our research aimed to evaluate the quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) linked to rotator cuff (RC) tears. The present study analyzed factors connected to the quality of the RCTs and trends in the quality of reporting through time. Materials and Methods: The online databases used to search all RCTs on the topic of RC surgery completed until March 2020 were PubMed and Ovid (MEDLINE). The quality of reporting was evaluated using the modified Coleman methodology score (MCMS) and the consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT). Results: The online search found 957 articles. Finally, 183 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. A total of 97 (53%) of 183 studies had a level of evidence I and 86 (47%) of 183 studies had a level of evidence II, according to the Oxford Center of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). A statistically significant difference in MCMS between articles written before 2010 and articles written after 2010 was found. Articles written after 2010 had, on average, the highest Coleman score. The average number of CONSORT checklist items for each article across all analyzed RCTs was 21.67. The 37 studies completed up to 2010 averaged a number of checklist items of 19.97 and the studies completed between 2011 and 2019 averaged a number of checklist items of 22.10. A statistically significant difference in the number of checklist items between articles written before 2010 and articles written after 2010 was found. Articles written after 2010 had on average more checklist items. However, low correlation (0.26) between the number of checklist items for each article and the respective Coleman score was found. On the other hand, articles with the CONSORT diagram had a significantly high Coleman score. Conclusions: An improvement in the quantity and quality of RCTs relating to RC surgery over the analyzed period was found.

“…In clinical applications, therapeutic ultrasound is used as a deep heating agent for the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders [5][6][7]. The biophysical effects of therapeutic ultrasound on tissues 2 of 16 result from two mechanisms: (1) thermal effects due to continuous acoustic wave, and (2) non-thermal effects due to pulse acoustic wave [8].…”

Featured Application: This study could provide useful information to clinicians and the optimal selection of a slab implant material could be obtained under given specifications for therapeutic ultrasounds.Abstract: Deep heating procedures are helpful in treating joint contractures that frequently occur with fractures and joint diseases involving surgical implants and artificial joint prostheses. This study uses a one-dimensional composite medium model consisting of parallel slabs as a simplified approach to shed light on the influences of implants during ultrasound diathermy. Analytical solutions for the one-dimensional transient heat generation and conduction problem were derived using the orthogonal expansion technique and a Green's function approach. The analytical solutions provided deep insight into the temperature profile by therapeutic ultrasound heating in the composite system. The effects of the implant material type, tissue thickness, and ultrasound operation frequency on temperature distribution were studied for clinical application. In addition, sensitivity analyses were carried out to investigate the influences of material properties on the temperature distribution during ultrasound diathermy. Based on the derived analytical solutions, the numerical simulations indicate that materials with high density, high specific heat, and low thermal conductivity may be optimal implant materials. Among available implant materials, a tantalum implant, which can achieve a lower temperature rise within the tissue (hydrogel) and bone layers during ultrasound diathermy, is a better choice thanks to its thermodynamics.

Improving quality in US physiotherapeutical treatments is mandatory in order to get 'evidence-based' clinical results. This implies quality assurance protocols for the equipment, as well as some tentative dosimetrical approaches to predict local heating in joints following US parameter setting and operative modality. Finally, the possibility of 'personalized therapy' with multimodal (by qualitative and quantitative, e.g. based on sonography) assessment is discussed.
