Coronal and sagittal plane correction in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a comparison between all pedicle screw versus hybrid thoracic hook lumbar screw constructs.

Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study using a previously matched convenience sample of 34 patients.

Objective: This study sought to determine the relative corrective benefits of these 2 types of constructs in the correction of coronal and sagittal curves in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In addition, the 2 constructs were compared for coronal and sagittal balance.

The surgical treatment of internal snapping hip.

Background: Internal snapping hip is an underdiagnosed cause of hip pain that sidelines many recreational and competitive athletes. It originates from a taut iliopsoas tendon that snaps across bony prominences when the hip is extended from a flexed position. When nonoperative treatment methods fail, fractional tendon-lengthening procedures may be used.
