Analysis of Complications in Sacroiliac Joint Fusions Using FDA 510(k) Cleared Devices.

Study Design: This was a level III-retrospective cohort study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to present an unbiased report of the current rate of severe complications for Federal Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) cleared sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusions and investigate the underlying cause of these complications.

Summary Of Background Data: The number of yearly SIJ fusions is on an upward trend.

Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement in Adolescents: 10-Year Patient-Reported Outcomes.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated hip arthroscopy to be an effective treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in individuals 18 years of age and older. Long-term outcome data in the adolescent population, however, are limited.

Purpose: To report 10-year outcomes after hip arthroscopy in adolescents with symptomatic FAI.

Postoperative Pain Management Strategies in Hip Arthroscopy.

Purpose Of Review: Hip arthroscopy is a rapidly growing field due to its significant diagnostic and therapeutic value in the management of numerous hip disorders. Adequate control of postoperative pain in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy continues to be a challenging and evolving area in orthopedics. In the absence of standardized protocols for pain management in these patients, a variety of different approaches have been utilized in an effort to find a regimen that is effective at reducing postoperative pain, narcotic consumption, and cost to the patient and healthcare system.

Outcomes After Arthroscopic Hip Labral Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: The acetabular labrum is critical to maintenance of hip stability and has been found to play a key role in preservation of the hip fluid seal. For irreparable labral damage, arthroscopic labral reconstruction is an evolving technique that has been shown to decrease hip pain and restore function.

Purpose: To provide a comprehensive review of current literature for arthroscopic hip labral reconstruction, with a focus on determining if outcomes differ between autograft or allograft tissue.
