The Intermalleolar Method for Intraoperative Rotational Assessment of the Tibia-A Prospective Clinical Validation Study.

Objectives: To determine the accuracy of the intermalleolar method, an intraoperative fluoroscopic method for assessing tibial rotation in patients undergoing intramedullary nail fixation for tibial shaft fractures, by comparing it with the gold standard computed tomography (CT).

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Academic Level 1 trauma center.

A Case of Iliopsoas Bursitis With Compressive Femoral Nerve Palsy Treated With Iliopsoas Tendon Release.

Iliopsoas bursitis is a well-established cause of groin pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and it can become dramatically more complex when associated with neurovascular compression. Iliopsoas bursitis may be caused by a variety of pathologies in the setting of a THA but most frequently due to a prominent acetabular component or implant wear. Here we report a rare case of a female patient presenting with iliopsoas tendonitis, an accompanying femoral nerve palsy, and debilitating pain beginning 12 years after a previously successful primary THA without apparent implant wear.

Imaging of Patients Suspected of SLAP Tear: A Cost-Effectiveness Study.

. Superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) tears are a common shoulder pathology. Although MRI is the imaging reference standard for diagnosis of this pathology, the cost-effectiveness of common MRI strategies is unclear.
