Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare satisfaction, clinical scores, and complications of patients operated on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in outpatient setting compared to patients operated in the conventional hospitalization.
Patients And Methods: This prospective non-randomized study compared 30 patients (mean age 31 ± 9 years) operated on outpatient setting for an isolated ACLR matched 1:1 according to age, gender, body mass index, delay to surgery, and preoperative clinical score (IKDC) to 30 patients operated for an ACLR in our conventional hospitalization department during the same period. All the patients were operated on by the same surgeon.
Background: Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) for cup placement has been developed to improve the functional results and to reduce the dislocation rate and wear after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Previously published studies demonstrated radiographic benefits of CAS in terms of implant position, but whether these improvements result in clinically important differences that patients might perceive remains largely unknown.
Questions/purposes: We hypothesized that THA performed with CAS would improve 10-year patient-reported outcomes measured by validated scoring tools, reduce acetabular polyethylene wear as measured using a validated radiological method, and increase survivorship.
Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head has a host of etiologies. However, in 30% of the cases, no underlying etiology is identified and the process is considered "idiopathic." Our hypothesis was that osseous anatomical abnormalities might be frequently found in patients with femoral head osteonecrosis.
