Individuals experiencing disability and the ableist physical literacy narrative: critical considerations and recommendations for practice.

Physical literacy (PL) has been readily accepted and integrated globally, including organizations affording services to individuals experiencing disability. Despite its uptake, recent research has illustrated that understandings of PL reflect the normative standards of those who do not experience disability, leading to practices that diminish the unique and embodied capability of others while simultaneously validating ableism. While a shift towards recognizing and valuing the heterogeneity associated with PL has recently occurred, the ableist narrative persists.

Clinical presentation, imaging findings, and arthroscopic features in skeletally immature and mature adolescent hip patients: a comparative double-cohort retrospective study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in clinical presentation and extent of surgery required based on skeletal maturity between two cohorts of adolescent hip arthroscopy patients. We hypothesized that skeletal immaturity would be associated with a lower frequency of pincer impingement and a decreased need for surgical acetabuloplasty. A database of 1481 hip arthroscopies performed by a single orthopaedic surgeon between 2008 and 2016 was queried.

Diabetic hip arthropathy is associated with a higher prevalence of femoral head chondromalacia: a case-controlled study.

Introduction: No previous studies have characterised hip joint disease in diabetic patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. The purpose of our study was to evaluate intra-articular hip pathology and surgical variables in patients with diabetes compared to matched, non-diabetic controls. We hypothesised that diabetic patients would demonstrate a higher prevalence and severity of hip chondral pathology.

Basic Hip Arthroscopy: Diagnostic Hip Arthroscopy.

Hip arthroscopy is increasing in popularity for the diagnosis and management of hip preservation. The basics of hip arthroscopy positioning, fluoroscopic assessment, and portal establishment are reviewed in the first 2 parts of this series. This article is the third installment in which we describe a systematic approach to performing a diagnostic hip arthroscopy.

Basic Hip Arthroscopy: Anatomic Establishment of Arthroscopic Portals Without Fluoroscopic Guidance.

Hip arthroscopy has gained popularity in recent years for diagnostic and therapeutic hip preservation management. This article details the establishment of arthroscopic portals of the hip, specifically the anterolateral and modified anterior portals without fluoroscopic guidance. The anterolateral portal is established anatomically, and the modified anterior portal is then established under arthroscopic guidance.

Arthroscopic Bullet Removal From the Central and Peripheral Compartments of the Hip Joint.

Recent advances in hip arthroscopy offer an approach for treating an uncommon but highly disabling injury from intra-articular missile injury to the hip. Hip arthroscopy affords the patient the benefit of minimally invasive surgery while allowing for the diagnosis and treatment of concomitant pathology, which may be either acute, from the trauma of the missile, or chronic. We present a technique for the removal of projectiles from the central and peripheral compartments of the hip joint.

Cyclists Have Greater Chondromalacia Index Than Age-Matched Controls at the Time of Hip Arthroscopy.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical symptoms and intraoperative pathology associated with hip pain in the cyclist compared with a matched hip arthroscopy surgical group.

Methods: In an institutional review board-approved study, we retrospectively reviewed a prospective database of 1,200 consecutive hip arthroscopy patients from 2008 to 2015. Adult patients were identified who reported cycling as a major component of their activity.

Arthroscopic Management of Hip Chondral Defects: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Purpose: To critically evaluate the evidence for arthroscopic management of chondral defects in the hip through a systematic literature review.

Methods: A systematic literature review was performed to identify all articles addressing the arthroscopic management of chondral defects about the hip. Case reports, open techniques, and those associated with osteonecrosis were excluded.

Tissue engineering and the future of hip cartilage, labrum and ligamentum teres.

As the field of hip arthroscopy continues to evolve, the biological understanding of orthopaedic tissues, namely articular cartilage, labral fibro-cartilage and the ligamentum teres continues to expand. Similarly, the need for biological solutions for the pre-arthritic and early arthritic hip continues to be a challenge for the sports medicine surgeon and hip arthroscopist. This article outlines existing biological and tissue-engineering technologies, some being used in clinical practice and other technologies being developed, and how these biological and tissue-engineering principals may one day influence the practice of hip arthroscopy.

Basic Hip Arthroscopy: Supine Patient Positioning and Dynamic Fluoroscopic Evaluation.

Hip arthroscopy serves as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the management of various conditions that afflict the hip. This article reviews the basics of hip arthroscopy by demonstrating supine patient positioning, fluoroscopic evaluation of the hip under anesthesia, and sterile preparation and draping. Careful attention to detail during the operating theater setup ensures adequate access to the various compartments of the hip to facilitate the diagnosis of disease and treatment with minimally invasive arthroscopy.

Single-Portal Arthroscopy of the Central Compartment of the Hip.

Since hip arthroscopy has become a standard of orthopaedic practice, the indications have continued to expand as it has proved to be a helpful diagnostic, as well as therapeutic, tool. Access to the hip joint, however, remains challenging for the orthopaedic surgeon who does not routinely perform hip arthroscopy. We present a single-portal arthroscopic technique, showing the feasibility of single-portal arthroscopic access to the hip joint, as well as describing basic indications and instrumentation for single-portal hip arthroscopy.

Arthroscopic Excision of Acetabular Osteoid Osteoma: Computer Tomography-Guided Approach.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor that occurs in the subcortical shaft and metaphysis of the long bones of the lower extremities; however, intra-articular lesions are also possible. Intra-articular osteoid osteomas are rare, and clinical symptoms are often less specific and, thereby, may lead to misdiagnosis. The definitive treatment for osteoid osteoma is the excision of the nidus.

Ischiofemoral space decompression through posterolateral approach: cutting block technique.

Ischiofemoral space impingement has become an increasingly recognized extracapsular cause of atypical hip, deep gluteal, and groin pain that can be treated endoscopically. We present a minimally invasive posterolateral technique that preserves the attachment of the iliopsoas tendon and quadratus femoris insertion while decompressing the ischiofemoral space by resecting the lesser trochanter. Furthermore, we present tips to perform this technique in a manner that minimizes the potential for damage to the sciatic nerve.

Arthroscopic treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis screw impingement and concomitant hip pathology.

Impingement caused by screws used for stabilization of slipped capital femoral epiphysis can be treated arthroscopically. Although troublesome screws have traditionally been removed by open techniques, arthroscopic removal can successfully be achieved. In addition to affording the patient the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, surgeons also have the ability to arthroscopically address any concomitant hip pathology responsible for pain, including femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears.

Arthroscopic hip labral repair: the iberian suture technique.

Arthroscopic hip labral repair has beneficial short-term outcomes; however, debate exists regarding ideal surgical labral repair technique. This technical note presents an arthroscopic repair technique that uses intrasubstance labral suture passage to restore the chondrolabral interface. This "Iberian suture technique" allows for an anatomic repair while posing minimal risk of damage to the labral and chondral tissues.

Arthroscopic treatment of bucket-handle labral tear and acetabular fracture.

Traumatic hip dislocations are associated with chondral and labral pathology as well as loose bodies that can be incarcerated in the joint. These types of injury often lead to traumatic arthritis. In some cases an osseo-labral fragment may become incarcerated in the joint that is not readily visualized preoperatively.
