Background: Traditional freehand techniques in high tibial osteotomy (HTO) have been shown to lack precision and accuracy. Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and fixation created from cross-sectional imaging have recently been introduced to address this problem.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of the study was to compare traditional freehand techniques versus PSI in a human cadaveric model of HTO.
Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of administering intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) on altering visual field clarity (VFC) during arthroscopic hip preservation surgery for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Methods: This randomized, double-blind, parallel-design trial was conducted over a seven-month period between October 2023 and May 2024 at a single tertiary musculoskeletal hospital. Inclusion criteria included consecutive patients that were diagnosed with FAIS through clinical history, physical exam and advanced imaging and indicated for hip arthroscopy after having failed conservative management.
Purpose: To synthesize the current literature on posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction and repair, focusing on a comparison of surgical techniques and outcomes based on injury chronicity in the setting of sports-related ligament tears.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature, including queries of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, was performed in March 2024. Studies were included if they were of Level IV evidence or greater, reported PLC reconstruction or repair outcomes, and had a minimum 2-year follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the risk of saphenous nerve injury in patients who underwent knee surgery with adductor canal block (ACB) as part of their pain management.
- - Among 28,196 surgeries performed, only 18 cases (0.06%) of saphenous nerve injury were reported, primarily linked to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
- - While ACB was identified as a potential cause for some injuries, most were attributed to other factors, with varying prognoses for recovery reported among affected patients.
Purpose: To characterize the risk of revision hip arthroscopy or conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) among patients with a history of lumbar fusion undergoing primary hip arthroscopy.
Methods: We used the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System, an administrative database including all ambulatory and inpatient surgery encounters in New York, to identify all patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement between 2010 and 2020. Patients with previous lumbar fusion were identified using Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision, coding definitions.
