Defining the Patient Acceptable Symptom State Using the Forgotten Joint Score 12 After Hip Arthroscopy.

Purpose: To contextualize the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) by identifying a patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) threshold for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy and to investigate factors which correlated with postoperative FJS-12 score.

Methods: All patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) under the care of a single surgeon between January 2018 and November 2019 were prospectively identified and included. Exclusion criteria were Tönnis classification grade 2 or greater.

Responsiveness and ceiling effects of the English version of the 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool following hip arthroscopy at minimum one-year follow-up.

Aims: Responsiveness and ceiling effects are key properties of an outcome score. No such data have been reported for the original English version of the International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) at a follow-up of more than four months. The aim of this study was to identify the responsiveness and ceiling effects of the English version iHOT-12 in a series of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for intra-articular hip pathology at a minimum of one year postoperatively.

Use of Biologics as an Adjunct Therapy to Arthroscopic Surgery for the Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review.

Background: There has been a recent increase in the use of biologics in hip arthroscopy to assist in the management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Purpose: To analyze the current use of biologics for the treatment of FAI and its associated lesions.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Evaluation of the patient acceptable symptom state following hip arthroscopy using the 12 item international hip outcome tool.

Background: The International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) is a shorter version of the iHOT-33 which measures health related quality of life following treatment of hip disorders in young, active patients. The purpose of this study was identify a PASS threshold for a UK population undergoing hip arthroscopy for intra-articular hip pathology.

Methods: Data was identified retrospectively from a prospective database of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy under the care of a single surgeon within the date range January 2013 to March 2017.

Fracture of a BIOLOX Delta Ceramic Femoral Head: A Case Report and Update of the Literature.

Case: A 52-year-old man underwent right total hip replacement with a 32-mm BIOLOX delta ceramic head with a polyethylene liner. At 8 months, he fell onto his right hip. Radiographs at the time were unremarkable.

The validity and reliability of the modified forgotten joint score.

We aim to validate the "Modified Forgotten Joint Score" (MFJS) as a new patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) in hip and knee arthroplasty, against the UK's gold standard Oxford Hip and Knee Scores (OHS/OKS). The original Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) (12 items) was created to assess post-arthroplasty joint awareness. We modified the FJS to 10-items to improve its reliability.

Rare progression of cholangiocarcinoma: distal femoral metastasis.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare cancer of the bile duct epithelial cells, with metastases to long bones rarely reported. We present the case of a woman aged 61 years, diagnosed with CCA 6 years previously. She presented with right thigh discomfort, rapidly progressing to immobility with severe pain.
