Influence of preoperative psychotropic medications on opioid requirements and outcomes following bariatric surgery.

We hypothesized that patients' pharmacologic profiles would affect postoperative opioid requirements following bariatric surgery.

Arthroscopic treatment of posterior shoulder instability in patients with and without glenoid dysplasia: a comparative outcomes analysis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of glenoid dysplasia on outcomes after isolated arthroscopic posterior labral repair in a young military population.

Methods: Thirty-seven male patients who underwent arthroscopic posterior labral repair for symptomatic posterior shoulder instability were evaluated at a mean duration of 3.1 years.
