Does Decompressive Chevron Osteotomy Decrease Subchondral Bone Density of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint in Hallux Rigidus?

Background: To investigate the impact of decompressive chevron osteotomy on subchondral bone density at the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint.

Methods: Sixteen feet (12 patients) with hallux rigidus underwent decompressive chevron osteotomy. Standing cone beam 3D computed tomography (3DCT) were assessed preoperatively and at 4-month follow-up, and clinical data were collected.

Survivorship and Outcomes of Meniscal Ramp Lesions Repaired Through a Posteromedial Portal During Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Outcome Study With a Minimum 10-Year Follow-up.

Background: Several studies have demonstrated suture repair of ramp lesions of the medial meniscus via a posteromedial approach was associated with a significantly lower rate of secondary meniscectomy. However, these studies are not long-term and highlight the need for extended follow-up research to better understand the outcomes over a more extended period.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results and reoperation rate for the failure of arthroscopic all-inside suture repair of ramp lesions of the medial meniscus via a posteromedial approach during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Short-term functional outcomes of Whiteside transfer for massive rupture of gluteus medius tendon in native hips.

Purpose: To assess the functional and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent either open or endoscopic Whiteside transfer of gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata muscles in cases of massive rupture of gluteus medius tendon associated with muscle atrophy on a native hip METHODS: This retrospective, descriptive, single-centre study was conducted by a single operator with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months. All Whiteside palliative transfers performed on patients with Type 5 gluteus medius tendon rupture, according to Lall's classification, resulting in painful and treatment-resistant Trendeleburg gait between 2017 and 2022 were included. Functional evaluation was based on modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS), iHOT-12, Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), and the pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
