The hip capsule has been recognized as a vital structure in the stability and proper function of the hip. Preserving its integrity during arthroscopic surgery is one of the utmost important principles in hip preservation surgery. When capsular deficiency is present, capsular reconstruction may be indicated to restore stability and proper hip mechanics.

Tibial anterolateral rotary instability associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears is a well-documented and difficult problem with a long history of solutions. The lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has undergone multiple refinements in technique, largely focusing on the femoral site insertion using either an interference screw versus a staple for adequate fixation. In this article, we present an improved technique using a suture anchor as an alternative to a staple or an interference screw with secure fixation to insert the LET graft onto the femur.

Purpose: To perform a systematic review of the literature and evaluate the return to play (RTP) time frame after a concussion diagnosis. Our secondary purpose was to analyze and compare different prognostic variables affecting concussions, time to return to school, time to symptom resolution of concussive symptoms, and time each patient spent in the RTP protocol.

Methods: A PubMed, Scopus, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library database literature review was performed in August 2022.

Combined hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy are used for the treatment of concomitant intra-articular hip pathology and acetabular dysplasia or instability. Traditionally, the procedure has been achieved with the use of a traction table or table attachment for the arthroscopic portion and then subsequent transfer of the patient to a fully radiolucent flat bed. In this article, we highlight the technique of a combined hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy procedure using a single bed attachment system.

Introduction Femoral torsion is an important anatomical consideration of the hip that has major implications on the natural motion of the hip joint. Similarly, it affects pathologic conditions of the hip, including femoroacetabular impingement, dysplasia, and/or microinstability. Femoral torsion is typically measured on two-dimensional (2D) axial CT cuts by creating the angle between the femoral neck and the posterior aspect of the ipsilateral femoral condyles.
