Background: Iliopsoas tenotomy is commonly used to address refractory groin pain resulting from iliopsoas tendinopathy. However, consensus and high-level research on its effectiveness are lacking, with concerns about poor outcomes and complications. Little is known of the effects of iliopsoas tenotomy on the peri-articular muscle envelope of the hip.

- - The study aimed to identify unique clinical phenotypes of hip osteoarthritis (OA) using a biopsychosocial approach, analyzing data from 143 individuals awaiting total hip arthroplasty.
- - Researchers assessed various factors, including demographics, pain-related thoughts, mental health, social support, and pain/disability measures to classify participants into two clinical phenotypes: maladaptive and adaptive.
- - The maladaptive phenotype (34% of participants) was characterized by higher comorbidities, anxiety, and pain-related fears, leading to increased levels of pain and disability; this classification method has an accuracy of 87.8%, aiding in the development of personalized treatment plans.
Background: Current understanding of the mechanism of action of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is primarily based on cadaver studies. We performed an imaging study in patients undergoing hip surgery to enhance the understanding of the analgesic mechanisms following a PENG block.
Materials And Methods: 10 patients scheduled for hip surgery received an ultrasound-guided PENG block with 18 mL of 0.
Can Patients Who Have Low-Grade Hip Osteoarthritis Expect the Same Outcome After Total Hip Arthroplasty Compared to Those Who Have End-Stage Osteoarthritis? - A Matched Case-Control Study.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective procedure for patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis (OA). In addition, when hip preservation surgery is no longer indicated due to the presence of early or mild arthritic changes, THA can also be considered. Whether these patients can expect the same outcome after THA as patients who have end-stage OA remains unclear.

Regional anaesthesia has been reported to improve the outcome of patients having total hip arthroplasty. In this study, it was hypothesized that spinal anaesthesia (SA) decreases the perioperative neuro-endocrine stress response and perioperatively acquired muscle weakness (PAMW), as compared to general anaesthesia (GA).
