Identifying Hip Arthroscopy Trends in Turkey.

Background: Hip arthroscopy (HA) procedures have continued to increase worldwide. However, no data are currently available regarding the increasing HA case volume and trends in Turkey.

Purpose: To identify trends in postoperative care habits and incidence of HA in Turkey using data from the national Health Coding Reference Server (SKRS) database.

Comparison of Knotless Versus Knot-Tying Suture Anchors for Arthroscopic Repair of Hip Labral Tears.

Background: Both knotless and knot-tying anchors are commonly employed in the arthroscopic repair of hip labral tears.

Purpose: To compare the midterm clinical results of arthroscopic hip labral repair using knot-tying versus knotless suture anchors.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

A guide to facilitate the creation of a femoral tunnel for arthroscopic ligamentum teres reconstruction: a three-dimensional computed tomography study.

The ideal femoral tunnel passing through the centre of the femoral neck targeted to the footprint of the ligamentum teres (LT) is established during the LT reconstruction surgery with the free-hand technique. We aimed to quantitatively determine the entry site and define the angular orientation of the ideal femoral tunnel with its relevance to the femoral valgus angle (FVA) and the femoral anteversion angle (FAA) to facilitate the creation of an ideal femoral tunnel during the LT reconstruction surgery. A total of 60 randomly selected CT images were obtained to reconstruct three-dimensional femur models.

Management of patellar instability in skeletally immature patients.

Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice for recurrent lateral patellar instability. Surgery should be considered for first time lateral patella dislocations with osteochondral fractures or underlying anatomical risk factors. Primary repair and nonanatomical imbrications/reconstructions have fallen out of favor due to abnormal biomechanics and high rates of recurrence.

Tibial Tuberosity Rotation in Patients With Patellar Instability Versus Age- and Sex-Matched Controls.

Background: Several methods have been described to measure external rotation of the tibial tuberosity; all use femoral landmarks.

Purpose: To develop reproducible tibial-based methods to measure external rotation of the tibial tuberosity in patients with patellar instability.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
