Context: Patients experiencing pain from femoral acetabular impingement and considering hip arthroscopy may be concerned about their timeline to resume activities they enjoy, such as golf.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to review current literature on return-to-play data after hip arthroscopy and to provide clinicians with data to set proper expectations with patients.
Data Sources: The following terms were used to search PubMed and Embase electronic databases on October 18, 2023: hip, arthroscopy, arthroscopic, golf.
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), a rare complication of systemic sarcoidosis, can have subtle or no symptoms. It is characterized by granuloma formation in the myocardium, which can occur in isolation or alongside systemic sarcoidosis. Clinical manifestations include conduction system disorders (e.

Access to postoperative PT can be limited by insurance type, coverage, and cost. With copayments (CP) for PT as high as $75 per visit, PT can be costprohibitive for patients.

Methods: Sixty attending surgeons from academic and community departments of surgery or obstetrics and gynecology were studied prospectively using direct observation and self-report to explore the effect of sleep deprivation on patient safety, operating room communication, medical errors, and adverse events while operating under 2 conditions, post-call (defined as > 2 hours of nighttime clinical duties) and non-post-call.
Background: Thus, the purpose of the present study was to (1) characterize common postoperative complications and (2) quantify the rates of revision in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty revisional surgery. We hypothesize that hardware loosenings will be the most common complication to occur in the sample, with the humeral component being the most common loosening.
Methods: This systematic review adhered to PRISMA reporting guideline.
Background: Formal physical therapy (PT) traditionally has been a critical part of postoperative recovery, but recently, because of cost containment, coverage of PT has become limited. Alternatives to formal PT have been proposed, including telerehabilitation, internet-based PT (IBPT), and home-based physician-guided PT. The purpose of this study was to understand patient perceptions of PT, the benefits, perception of improvements, access to PT, and alternative forms of PT after shoulder surgery.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of preoperative and postoperative patient education and multimodal pain management to achieve an opioid-free postoperative recovery after RCR.
Methods: Sixty patients who underwent RCR were divided in 2 groups.
