Sensory Innervation of the Hip Joint and Referred Pain: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Objectives: The aim of this literature review was to establish consensus with respect to the anatomic features of the articular branches innervating the hip joint and the distribution of sensory receptors within its capsule.

Methods: Five electronic databases were queried, with the search encompassing articles published between January 1945 and June 2019. Twenty-one original articles providing a detailed description of sensory receptors around the hip joint capsule (n=13) and its articular branches (n=8) were reviewed.

Minimally Invasive Ultrasound-Guided Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction With Autologous 2-Strand Gracilis Graft.

We describe an ultrasound-guided anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction technique that uses the gracilis tendon and can be added to any anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique. Preoperative ultrasound imaging is used to view the ruptured ALL and confirm the location of bony landmarks. Two minimally invasive incisions are made: one posterior to the lateral epicondyle and one posterior to the Gerdy tubercle.

The Delta of Correction: a novel, more reliable variable than limb-length discrepancy at predicting outcome after total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Leg-length discrepancy (LLD) is a frequent and recurring issue after total hip arthroplasty (THA). It can lead to discomfort and litigation due to the patient's perception of this inequality.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional impact of postoperative LLD and length correction in patients after primary THA.

Anterior cruciate ligament tears in children: Management and growth disturbances. A survey of French Arthroscopy Society members.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are becoming more common and occurring at earlier ages in the paediatric population. The surgical indications and the optimal time for surgery, technique, and graft type remain controversial in skeletally immature patients. Growth disturbances have been reported after ACL reconstruction, further complicating treatment decisions.

Diffusion-weighted MRI for outcome prediction in early Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease: Medium-term radiographic correlations.

Background: Outcome prediction at the early sclerotic stage of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is valuable to select patients likely to benefit from early surgery. The metaphyseal apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) ratio correlated significantly with Herring's classification of LCPD in a preliminary study of 49 MRIs, in which values greater than 1.63 were associated with poor outcomes.
