Comparable Outcomes Between Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation and Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation in the Setting of Patellar Realignment.

Purpose: To determine clinical and functional outcomes in patients treated with autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) or osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation for chondral defects secondary to patellar instability with concomitant medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) for patellar realignment.

Methods: A retrospective review identified patients who underwent ACI or OCA transplantation with concomitant MPFL reconstruction and TTO. Patients were excluded if they did not have concomitant MPFL reconstruction and TTO, had the presence of other intra-articular pathologies, or failed to complete postoperative subjective outcome evaluations at a minimum of 2 years following surgery.

Sports and Recreation-Related Wrist Fractures: An Epidemiological Study.

Background Wrist fractures have increased over the past several decades. The objective of this study was to identify all-cause and sports-related incidence rates of wrist fractures presenting to emergency departments (EDs) in the United States (U.S.

Patients' under 25 subjective readiness to return to sport after ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar-bone grafts: Autograft vs. allograft.

Purpose: To assess the difference in perceived readiness to return to sport (RTS) within the first year postoperative period between individuals undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autografts or allografts.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction done either with BTB autograft or allograft from 2010 to 2018. Skeletally mature patients aged 14 to 25 were eligible for inclusion.

Epidemiology of Ankle Dislocations in the United States: 2009 to 2018.

Background: Injuries to the ankle joint are common and often sustained during participation in athletic activities. There is little information regarding the overall epidemiology of ankle dislocation, both with and without associated fracture.

Design And Methods: The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried to characterize ankle dislocation presentations to U.

Bankart Repair With or Without Concomitant Remplissage Results in Similar Shoulder Motion and Postoperative Outcomes in the Treatment of Shoulder Instability.

Purpose: To compare the results of patients who underwent Bankart repair with or without concomitant remplissage for treatment of shoulder instability.

Methods: All patients who underwent shoulder stabilization for shoulder instability from 2014 to 2019 were evaluated. Patients who underwent remplissage were matched to those patients who received no remplissage based on sex, age, body mass index, and date of surgery.

Increased rates of subjective shoulder instability after Bankart repair with remplissage compared to Latarjet surgery.

Hypothesis And Background: Controversy exists as to the ideal management of young active patients with subcritical glenoid bone loss and an off-track Hill-Sachs lesion, and the Latarjet and arthroscopic Bankart with remplissage are effective surgical options. The purpose of this study was to compare rates of recurrent instability and reoperation, as well as patient-reported outcome measures, between Latarjet and arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage surgery patients. The authors hypothesized that there would be no difference in rates of recurrent instability, reoperation, and postoperative outcomes between patients who underwent Latarjet surgery and patients who underwent Bankart repair with concomitant remplissage postoperatively.

Racial and Ethnic Diversity Within U.S. Residencies: Trends from 2011 to 2019.

Objective: Examine trends in the proportion of underrepresented minority (URM) residents from 2011 to 2019 across all specialties and investigate differences between surgical and non-surgical specialties.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: N/A.

Evaluation of serum calcium differences in hypertensive crises and control patients: A randomly matched case-control study.

The role of calcium in blood pressure has been widely studied among hypertensive patients; however, no study has explored the role of calcium in hypertensive crises. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the differences in serum calcium levels between hypertensive crises patients and a 1:1 random matched controls (age-, sex-, race-, diabetes, and body mass index matched). This study is a single-center, retrospective, chart review, case-control study of patients with hypertensive crises (case group) and patients without hypertensive crises (control group).

The Evaluation of Trochlear Osseous Morphology: An Epidemiologic Study.

Background: The femoral trochlea is considered the most significant osseous factor affecting stability in the patellofemoral joint. The true prevalence of trochlear dysplasia in the general population is largely unknown.

Purpose/hypothesis: To investigate the prevalence of trochlear dysplasia in the general population.

Epidemiology of Peripheral Nerve Injuries in Sports, Exercise, and Recreation in the United States, 2009 - 2018.

Objective: To assess rates of peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) in sport, exercise, and recreational activities.

Methods: The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was used to query nerve injuries presenting to emergency departments across the United States. Identified injuries were stratified to those with product codes associated with exercise, sports, or recreation.
