Background: Iliopsoas tenotomy is commonly used to address refractory groin pain resulting from iliopsoas tendinopathy. However, consensus and high-level research on its effectiveness are lacking, with concerns about poor outcomes and complications. Little is known of the effects of iliopsoas tenotomy on the peri-articular muscle envelope of the hip.

- The study proposes a technique where a modified relative femoral neck lengthening (RFNL) is performed before total hip replacement (THR) in patients with a history of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease to improve hip morphology and biomechanics.
- Analysis of 28 patients showed significant improvements in measurements such as centrotrochanteric distance and lateral displacement of the greater trochanter after both RFNL and THR, alongside reductions in leg length discrepancy and increases in hip scores.
- The technique was effective in using standard implants, restoring biomechanics, and reducing postoperative complications, with some patients even postponing THR due to adequate improvement following RFNL.
Purpose: Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) procedure, combined with an intra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), is used to reduce rotational laxity and the risk of graft failure. However, concern of overtightening of the lateral compartment and subsequent osteoarthritis remains. The aim of this study is to evaluate the degenerative changes in the lateral compartment and to compare the clinical and radiographical results between two LET techniques.
