Greetings, I'm interested in the latest clinical evidence regarding biologic augmentation (e.g., PRP, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, allografts) for rotator cuff repair in Yemeni patients. Are there compelling studies or personal experiences that suggest a significant improvement in healing rates or functional outcomes compared to standard repair? What are the practical considerations for implementing these techniques in our orthopedic practice in Yemen? Thank you for your input.

While PRP shows promise, I remain cautious for full-thickness tears due to inconsistent evidence, especially in our setting. Physical therapy remains paramount. For partial tears, it might be an adjunctive therapy, but shouldn't replace a solid rehabilitation plan.

For chronic low back pain in Yemen, I firmly believe non-surgical management should always be exhausted first, unless there are clear neurological deficits. A combination of targeted physical therapy, pain education, and lifestyle modification often yields good results. Surgical fusion should be a last resort given our resources.

My general rule for pediatric supracondylar fractures is immediate closed reduction and pinning for any displaced or unstable fracture. Neurovascular status must be assessed meticulously before and after reduction. Don't hesitate to involve a pediatric orthopedic specialist, especially if resources are limited.
