A Modified "Shuttle" Method Technique for Arthroscopic Hip Capsular Reconstruction in Capsular Deficiency.

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.

Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis: The Onlay Technique.

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.

Median Time to Return to Sports After Concussion Is Within 21 Days in 80% of Published Studies.

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.

Treatment of Concomitant Intra-articular Pathology and Hip Dysplasia With Combined Hip Arthroscopy and Periacetabular Osteotomy Using a Single Radiolucent Traction Table Attachment Without a Perineal Post.

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.

Three-Dimensional Analysis Versus Two-Dimensional Slice-Based Analysis of CT for Measuring Femoral Torsion and Its Correlation to Passive Hip Range of Motion.

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.

Complete Isolated Ruptures of the Distal Biceps Brachii During Athletic Activity: A Systematic Review.

Complete, isolated ruptures of the distal biceps brachii sustained during athletic activities are uncommon. A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify complete distal biceps brachii tears experienced during athletic activities to determine injury prevalence, athletic activities/mechanisms responsible for injury and return to activity timing following operative management. A total of 10 studies, comprising 16 athletes undergoing surgery for 18 cases, were identified.

Predictors of Occult Chondral Injury Sustained After a Primary Patellar Dislocation.

Background and objective Primary patellar dislocations can concomitantly involve osteochondral injuries for which prompt recognition is paramount for joint preservation. These injuries can be missed on radiographs, necessitating MRI examinations. In this study, we aimed to identify patient parameters that correlate with occult osteochondral injuries.

Clinical parameters and radiographic resorption of a novel magnesium based bone void filler.

Background: Bone voids can present challenging problems for the Orthopaedic surgeon, and are often treated with backfilling followed by structural stabilization. Recently, a magnesium based, and presumably resorbable, bone void filler (BVF) has been developed, but has limited longitudinal clinical data. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate clinically relevant parameters and radiographic resorption characteristics of this novel magnesium based BVF (MgBVF) with long-term clinical data.

Immunologic Contributions Following Rotator Cuff Injury and Development of Cuff Tear Arthropathy.

»: Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) describes a pattern of glenohumeral degenerative changes following chronic rotator cuff tears that is characterized by superior humeral head migration, erosion of the greater tuberosity of the humeral head, contouring of the coracoacromial arch to create a socket for the humeral head, and eventual glenohumeral arthritis.

»: Acute and chronic inflammatory changes following rotator cuff tears are thought to contribute to cartilage damage, muscle fibrosis, and fatty infiltration in the glenohumeral joint.

»: In vitro animal studies targeting various inflammatory modulators, including macrophages, insulin-like growth factor-I, and transforming growth factor-beta pathways, provide promising therapeutic targets to improve healing after rotator cuff tears.

A comprehensive three-phase opiate sparing multimodal pain protocol for hip arthroscopy: a retrospective review.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a three-phase, multimodal, perioperative pain protocol for primary hip arthroscopy based on pain scores, narcotic use, time to discharge, hospital admission and complications. A retrospective study of patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy over a 48-month time period was conducted. Patients were separated into a multimodal group consisting of non-narcotic medication, local analgesia and a peripheral nerve block (PNB) versus patients receiving only a PNB.

Comparison of time to healing and major complications after surgical fixation of nondisplaced femoral neck stress fractures: A systematic review.

Introduction: There is no recent literature review comparing outcomes of fixation methods for nondisplaced stress fractures of the femoral neck.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature on operative fixation of femoral neck stress fractures was performed. Inclusion criteria consisted of diagnosis of nondisplaced femoral neck stress fractures, implants used for fixation, articles in English language or available English translation, all ages, and Level 1-5 evidence, documented time to healing, and incidence of complications.

Longitudinal analysis of pediatric distal radius alignment parameters in a cohort of serial radiographs.

Background: Growth in pediatric patients necessitates changes to bony structures throughout the entire body to suit development. Changes in the distal radius during growth are of interest in the pediatric population due to the high incidence of fractures. The purpose of this study was to assess for trends in three radiographic measurements (height of the radial styloid process, radial inclination, ulnar variance) of the distal radius using serial radiographs in subjects aged between 6 and 14 years of age.

Peri-operative pain management in hip arthroscopy: a systematic review of the literature.

The purpose of this article was to review current literature on peri-operative pain management in hip arthroscopy. A systematic review of the literature on pain control in hip arthroscopy published January 2008 to December 2018 was performed. Inclusion criteria consisted of English language or articles with English translations, subjects undergoing hip arthroscopy with documented peri-operative pain control protocols in studies reporting Level I to IV evidence.

Complications and Return to Activity After Arthroscopic Repair of Isolated Type II SLAP Lesions: A Systematic Review Comparing Knotted Versus Knotless Suture Anchors.

Background: Superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears are one of the most common injuries to the shoulder, with the type II variant representing the most frequently encountered subtype.

Purpose: To systematically review the literature to better understand outcomes after arthroscopic repair of isolated type II SLAP lesions using knotted versus knotless anchors based on implant number, implant location, patient position, and portal position.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Acetabular rim length: an anatomical study to determine reasonable graft sizes for labral reconstruction.

The purpose of this article is to determine normative values for the length of the acetabular rim and detect differences between gender, age, ethnicity, height and leg length. Six measurements were taken on the acetabular rim of 143 cadaveric skeleton specimens (286 acetabula) using a coordinate-measuring device: circumferential (excluding acetabular notch), anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)-anterior, AIIS-posterior, 12-3 o'clock, 12-9 o'clock and 11-5 o'clock. Museum specimen height data and leg length data from a previous study were recorded for 109 of 143 specimens.
