Patients aged 50-75 years take longer to achieve the patient acceptable symptom state than patients aged 20-34 years following primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Purpose: Though an increasing number of adults older than 50 years are undergoing hip arthroscopy for treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIS), it is unclear how their timeline for functional outcome improvement compares to that of younger patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of age on time to achieving the Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID), Substantial Clinical Benefit (SCB), and Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) following primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Methods: A retrospective comparative single-surgeon cohort study of primary hip arthroscopy patients with minimum 2-year follow-up was conducted.

Clinical Outcomes After Concomitant Hip Arthroscopy and Iliotibial Band Lengthening With Trochanteric Bursectomy Compared to a Matched Cohort.

Purpose: This study sought to determine the clinical outcomes of patients that underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and concomitant arthroscopic iliotibial (IT) band lengthening with trochan- teric bursectomy (TB group) as well as a matched cohort of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for isolated FAI symptoms (NTB group) from baseline to a minimum of 2-year follow-up.

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with FAI and symptomatic trochanteric bursitis and who failed con- servative measures and underwent hip arthroscopy and arthroscopic IT band lengthening with trochanteric bur- sectomy were identified. These patients were matched by age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) to a group of patients who underwent surgery for FAI without trochanteric bur- sitis symptoms.

Endoscopic Excision of Hip Heterotopic Ossification, Plus Indomethacin and Radiation, Is Effective in Treating and Preventing Recurrence.

Purpose: To describe the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of heterotopic ossification (HO) excision as well as the results of a standardized HO prophylaxis protocol among a group of patients who previously underwent open or arthroscopic hip surgery.

Methods: Patients who developed HO after index hip surgery and were subsequently treated with arthroscopic excision of HO and postoperative HO prophylaxis using 2 weeks of indomethacin and radiation were retrospectively identified. All patients were seen by a single surgeon and were treated with the same arthroscopic technique.

Knee Osteotomies Can Be Performed Safely In An Ambulatory Setting.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the rate of hospital admissions, inpatient conversions, reoperations, and complications associated with tibial tubercle osteotomies (TTO), high tibial osteotomies (HTO), and distal femoral osteotomies (DFO) performed at our ambulatory surgery center compared with our inpatient hospital facility.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients receiving a TTO, HTO or DFO at our institution between June 2011 and October 2019 was performed. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients undergoing the aforementioned procedures for malalignment, and a minimum of 90-days follow-up.

Distal posterolateral corner injury in the setting of multiligament knee injury increases risk of common peroneal palsy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify if the location of posterolateral corner (PLC) injury was predictive of clinical common peroneal nerve (CPN) palsy.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients presenting to our institution with operative PLC injuries. Assessment of concomitant injuries and presence of neurologic injury was completed via chart review and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) review.

Distal biceps femoris avulsions: Associated injuries and neurological sequelae.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe associated injuries in cases of distal biceps femoris avulsions (DBFA) as well as the incidence of neurological injury and radiographic abnormalities of the common peroneal nerve (CPN).

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients presenting to our office or trauma center with DBFA injuries. Demographic data was obtained as well as mechanism of injury.

Resident, Fellow, and Attending Perception of E-Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Implications on Future Orthopaedic Education.

Introduction: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate resident, fellow, and attending perspectives on the use of e-learning as part of orthopaedic surgery education.

Methods: A survey was created evaluating (1) overall attitudes toward e-learning, (2) multi-institutional e-learning/e-conferences, (3) national/regional e-conferences, and (4) future directions with e-learning. The survey was distributed to all the orthopaedic surgery residency program directors in the United States, and they were asked to circulate the survey to their program's faculty and trainees.

Infected Hematoma After Endoscopic Sciatic Nerve Decompression.

We present a 24-year-old male who developed an infected hematoma that resulted in sciatic nerve injury after he underwent an endoscopic sciatic nerve decompression. He underwent urgent hematoma evacuation and cultures speciated as . At 4 months' follow-up, the patient's nerve had improved motor and sensory function.

Staged Bilateral Hip Arthroscopy Compared With a Matched Unilateral Hip Arthroscopy Group: Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up.

Purpose: To determine the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS) at 2-year follow up in patients who underwent staged bilateral hip arthroscopy versus age-, sex-, and body mass index-matched patients who underwent unilateral hip arthroscopy.

Methods: Patients who underwent staged bilateral primary hip arthroscopy between January 2007 and December 2017 for the indication of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with a minimum 2-year follow-up were identified. The control group comprised patients who underwent a unilateral hip arthroscopy for FAI.

Fresh osteochondral grafting in the United States: the current status of tissue banking processing.

The use of musculoskeletal allografts has become increasingly popular among surgeons. The purpose of this review is to highlight the procurment and delievery process of fresh osteochondral allografts in the United States. The four distributors of fresh osteochondral allografts in the United States were contacted.

The Role for Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty in the Young, Active Patient.

Younger patients with severe glenohumeral (GH) arthritis are a challenge to treat, as they have high physical demands, high expectations, a long lifespan, and often altered anatomy from prior surgery or congenital deformity. Nonoperative management is the cornerstone of treatment; however, when it fails, shoulder arthroplasty can be indicated. Although the literature suggests that total shoulder arthroplasty is the most appropriate for severe GH arthritis, there are a subset of patients in which a hemiarthroplasty can still be successful.
