Introduction: Little research has investigated the relationship between musculoskeletal pain and body mass index (BMI) in the context of pain-associated psychological distress. This study aims to determine if independent associations exist between BMI, obesity, demographic variables, and psychological distress in patients presenting with hip pain.
Materials And Methods: Using a retrospective cross-sectional study design, 428 patients completed the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) and were categorized into pain-associated psychological distress phenotypes using latent class analysis.
Decision-making regarding surgical treatment of patients showing radiographic evidence of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in the setting of borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) remains a challenge as there is no consensus on treatment in current literature. When medical evidence is unclear, understanding patient preferences becomes particularly important in deciding the optimal treatment for each patient. The purpose of this study was to measure the patient-determined importance of factors surrounding surgical treatment of FAIS in BHD.

The validity of postoperatively collected OSPRO-YF is unclear. This study sought to assess validity of the OSPRO-YF by comparing it to patient-reported outcome scores in both preoperative and postoperative settings.

However, associations between psychological distress, risk of surgery, and opioid prescribing among those with hip pathologies remain unclear.
Methods: Using a retrospective cohort study design, we identified patients that were evaluated for hip pain from January 13, 2020 to October 27, 2021.

Background: The purpose of this study is to systematically review the evidence in the literature to ascertain the functional outcomes, recurrence rates, and subsequent revision rates following type V superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) repair.
Methods: Two independent reviewers performed a literature search based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, utilizing the EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library Databases. Studies were included if they had clinical outcomes on the patients undergoing type V SLAP repair.
Background: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the evidence in the literature to determine the clinical outcomes following glenohumeral arthrodesis.
Methods: Two independent reviewers performed a literature search in the PubMed database based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies were included if they reported on outcomes following shoulder arthrodesis from the years of 2000-2022.
Background: The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare outcomes following intramedullary nailing (IMN) vs. open reduction-internal fixation (ORIF) for humeral shaft fractures.
Methods: A literature search of 3 databases was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines.

Background: The purpose of this study is to perform a systematic review of the literature evaluating the importance of subscapularis repair in patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Methods: A systematic search of articles in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines. Cohort studies comparing RSA with subscapularis repair vs.
One of the primary goals of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is precise removal of pathologic FAI morphology while protecting and restoring the normal soft tissue anatomy. Adequate visualization is a key foundation of precise removal of FAI morphology and varying types of capsulotomies are frequently used to achieve necessary exposure. Anatomic and outcomes studies have influenced an increasing appreciation for repairing these capsulotomies.
