Quantitative-MRI analysis of the effects of retrograde nailing on vascularity of the distal femur: A cadaveric study.

Background: Distal femur fractures remain treatment challenges with a considerable postoperative non-union rate. Concern remains that surgery may compromise osseous vascularity. This study aimed to determine effects of retrograde femoral intramedullary nailing (RFIN) on distal femur vascularity, and the locations of the middle genicular artery terminal branches in relation to the standard RFIN entry point.

Intraoperative traction has a negligible time-dependent influence on patient-reported outcomes after hip arthroscopy: a cohort study.

The aim of this study is to determine if post-operative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are influenced by hip arthroscopy traction duration. Patients from a local prospective hip arthroscopy database were retrospectively analyzed. Four hip-specific PROMs were utilized: modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific (HOS-SS), and international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT).

The Outcome of Hip Arthroscopy in the Setting of Lumbar Spine Disease Is Beneficial, Yet Limited: A Systematic Review of Existing Evidence.

Purpose: To compare hip arthroscopy outcomes in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients with concurrent symptomatic lumbar spine disease to the outcomes of arthroscopic FAI patients without spine disease.

Methods: A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines via PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases. Studies were valid for inclusion if they had an average follow-up ≥12 months and compared patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in hip arthroscopy patients with and without concurrent spinal disease.

The predictive value of self-reported allergies for reoperation after index hip arthroscopy.

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of reoperation after index hip arthroscopy for symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement in patients with, and without, at least one self-reported allergy. Data were collected prospectively in 1468 patients whose records were retrospectively reviewed. After the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, two cohorts were formed: (i) a study cohort ( = 261) composed of patients with a self-reported allergy and (ii) a control cohort.

Failure to Achieve Threshold Scores on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Within 1 Year Has a Predictive Risk of Subsequent Hip Surgery Within 5 Years of Primary Hip Arthroscopy: A Case-Control Study.

Background: Research has identified factors that influence achievement rates of threshold scores on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after hip arthroscopy. However, little data exist on whether failure to achieve a threshold score (minimal clinically important difference [MCID] or substantial clinical benefit [SCB]) in the short term after hip arthroscopy predicts the risk of future hip surgery.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to determine if failure to achieve the MCID or SCB on PROMs within 1 year of hip arthroscopy can be considered a risk factor for repeat surgery within 5 years of primary hip arthroscopy.

Self-reported allergies correlate with a worse patient-reported outcome after hip arthroscopy: a matched control study.

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with and without at least one self-reported allergy undergoing hip arthroscopy were compared. Data on 1434 cases were retrospectively reviewed, and 267 patients were identified with at least one self-reported allergy and randomly matched to a control group on a 1:2 ratio. Four PROMs [Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcome Score-Sports (HOS-Sport) and 33-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33)] were collected preoperatively, and at 5-11, 12-23 and 24-35 months postoperatively.

Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae Predict Inferior Patient-Reported Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy.

Background: While the association between spinal disease and hip arthroplasty outcomes has been well studied, there is less known about the effect of spinal pathology in hip arthroscopy (HA) outcomes. Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are anatomic variations where caudal vertebrae articulate or fuse with the sacrum or ilium.

Hypothesis: LSTV can lead to inferior outcomes after HA for treatment of femoroacetabular impingement.

A history of spine surgery predicts a poor outcome after hip arthroscopy.

This study compared patient reported outcomes scores (PROMs) between patients undergoing hip arthroscopy who have and have not had previous lumbar spine surgery. We aimed to determine if prior spine surgery impacts the outcome of hip arthroscopy. Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy between 2010 and 2017.
