Significant improvement after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement in women.

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate outcomes in women after hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and compare these results with men.

Methods: Retrospective study of a prospective database of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy between 2015 and 2018. Inclusion criteria were patients between 18 and 50 years of age, diagnosis of FAIS, complete clinical patient-reported outcomes (PROs), radiographic measurements, and underwent at least a 2-year HA follow-up.

Arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement has limited effect in patients with Tönnis grade-2 at 4-year follow-up.

Introduction: This study evaluated intraoperative findings and outcomes in Tönnis grade-2 patients after hip arthroscopy and compared these results with patients with Tönnis grade-0 and grade-1.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy between January 2013 and December 2017. Patients were divided into either Tönnis grade-2, grade-1, and grade-0 osteoarthritis groups.

Hallux valgus with and without metatarsalgia in women: a matched-cohort study of plantar pressure measurements.

Background: Few previous studies focused on plantar loading patterns in HV patients with metatarsalgia. Are there any differences in plantar pressure measurements in women with HV with and without metatarsalgia?

Methods: A prospective matched-cohort study was designed to analyze plantar pressure measurements in women with HV with and without metatarsalgia from January 2017 to December 2019. The inclusion criteria were age over 18 years old, women, diagnosis of HV with metatarsalgia.

Radiographic measurements have limited effect in dynamic plantar pressures in hallux valgus patients.

Purpose: Radiographic measurements are the gold standard in the management for preoperative surgical planning of hallux valgus deformity. Plantar pressure technology is a tool that is not commonly used to evaluate and manage hallux valgus patients, and few studies have reported the correlation of plantar pressure measurements and radiography.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was designed to analyze plantar pressure measurements and radiographic variables.

Arthroscopic management with labral preservation, femoral osteoplasty, and capsular plication in patients with borderline hip dysplasia. Results of a matched-cohort study at minimum two year follow-up.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess intra-operative findings, surgical procedures, and outcomes in a cohort of patients with borderline hip dysplasia treated with arthroscopic labral repair, femoral osteoplasty, and capsular plication, and compare these outcomes with those of a rigorously matched control group without dysplasia.

Methods: Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed for patients with a lateral center-edge angle between 20 and 24° who underwent hip arthroscopy surgery between 2014 and 2018. Labral, chondral status, psoas impingement, ligamentum teres, and cam morphology were evaluated.

Recreational Sports and Intra-articular Hip Injuries in Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement.

Purpose: We aimed to determine the relationship between recreational sports and intra-articular hip injuries in an active population that had undergone hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of prospectively collected data from patients undergoing hip arthroscopy between January 2015 and December 2016. Inclusion criteria included patients between 18 and 50 years of age who had participated in recreational sports prior to surgery and had a minimum of a 2-year follow-up.

Topical tranexamic acid in cemented primary total knee arthroplasty without tourniquet: a prospective randomized study.

Purpose: Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to be effective in reducing blood loss after total knee replacement. The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the effectiveness of topical TXA use, to reduce blood loss after primary total knee replacement without tourniquet, and to compare these outcomes with a control group that did not receive tranexamic acid.

Methods: This is a prospective, randomized study to assess the effect of a 2-g topical tranexamic acid in 50 mL physiological saline solution in total knee replacement without tourniquet and drain.

Progressive Akin Osteotomy.

The most common complication associated to Akin osteotomy is the intraoperative fracture of the lateral cortex of the proximal phalanx. We present a progressive Akin osteotomy that preserves the lateral cortex of the proximal phalanx and allows to remove the exact wedge size to achieve the preoperative planned correction.

Femoroacetabular impingement: prospective study of rate and factors related for nerve injury after hip arthroscopy.

Prospective, longitudinal, descriptive study was conducted from January 2016 to January 2018 to detect nerve dysfunction after hip arthroscopy. A total of 110 patients were included. Twenty-four hours after surgery, 62.

Plantar pressure improvement in moderate hallux valgus with modified chevron osteotomy: Clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is widely treated by Chevron osteotomy (CO); however, a modified CO may improve patient outcomes and recovery.

Methods: A prospective study was designed to analyze plantar pressure measurements and clinical and radiographic outcomes of a modified CO for HV. Recruitment was between February 2016 and February 2017.

Indirect Scapholunate Ligament Repair: All Arthroscopic.

The arthroscopic technique most frequently used in acute scapholunate instability is reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires. To repair the injured ligament, open surgery and dorsal capsular plication are recommended, but this procedure has the risk of damaging secondary dorsal stabilizers, the dorsal blood supply, and the proprioceptive innervation of the posterior interosseous nerve. In this report, we present an all-arthroscopic technique of a dorsal reconstruction of the scapholunate interosseous ligament for scapholunate instability using a tape by tethering the scaphoid to the lunate.

Matched cohort study of topical tranexamic acid in cementless primary total hip replacement.

Purpose: Tranexamic acid has been shown to be effective in reducing blood loss after total hip replacement. The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the effectiveness of topical TXA use to reduce blood loss after primary total hip replacement and to compare these outcomes with those of a matched control group from a similar cohort that did not have received tranexamic acid.

Methods: This is a prospective matched control study to assess the effect of a 2 g topical tranexamic acid in 50 mL physiological saline solution in total hip replacement.

Arthroscopic Treatment of a Malunion of a Posteromedial Tubercle Fracture of the Talus.

Posteromedial ankle impingement is rare and uncommonly associated with a fracture. Bone resection of the fragment is the recommended treatment. In this report, we describe the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic resection of a malunion of a posteromedial talus fracture to correct the impingement.
