Article Synopsis
- Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety significantly impact postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
- A study analyzed 289 young patients (30 or younger) and found that those with mental health diagnoses had longer recovery times, higher pain scores, and increased rates of reoperations and complications compared to those without these diagnoses.
- The research indicates that mental health issues are independent risk factors for adverse postoperative outcomes, suggesting a need for increased attention to mental health in orthopedic surgical care.
Background: This study examines the relationship between meniscus tear presentations and failure rates following all-inside repair in isolation and in conjunction with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Methods: Eighty seven consecutive patients undergoing all-inside meniscal repair at a single institution from July 2016 to June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Details of patient presentation, tear type and location, the presence or absence of simultaneous ACL reconstruction, and surgical repair details were recorded to evaluate the relationship between patient characteristics and the primary endpoint of repair failure.
