This article reviews the most recent advances in the literature regarding orthopedic surgery for sports injuries. For large-to-massive rotator cuff tears, non-surgical treatment yielded superior results at three months to surgical treatment, although surgical treatment provided better results over time. Arthroscopic partial repair without a posterior interval slide yielded superior results to complete arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a posterior interval slide. Graft bridging yielded superior results to superior capsular reconstruction. In first-time shoulder dislocations, arthroscopic Bankart repair has yielded superior results to arthroscopic washout. In high-grade acromioclavicular separation, a single clavicle tunnel tendon graft construct is preferable to a double tunnel construct. In femoroacetabular impingement, patients treated with hip arthroscopy had superior short-term results to those treated with physiotherapy alone. The odds of needing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft revision were 2.1-fold higher for patients using a hamstring autograft than those using a patellar bone-tendon-bone (BTB) autograft. The use of a patellar tendon graft reduced the risk of graft rupture. The return-to-sports rate was higher for patients who underwent surgery with a BTB autograft than those with an autograft hamstring. The combination of lateral extra-articular tenodesis and ACL reconstruction-ACLR (single-bundle hamstring autograft) decreased the risk of ACLR failure after two years of follow-up. In complete mid-substance ACL injuries, the bridge-enhanced ACL repair technique resulted in similar outcomes to autograft ACLR. Fresh-frozen allografts have been a good alternative to autografts in ACLR. In posterior medial meniscal root tears, root repair was associated with less arthritic progression than non-surgical treatment and partial meniscectomy. Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has provided better results than MPFL repair in patellofemoral instability.
