Intraobserver and Interobserver Reliability of the Snyder and Expanded SLAP Classification System: A Video Study.

Background: Superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) tears are a common finding in overhead athletes. The original classification system produced by Snyder in 1990 contained 4 types of SLAP tears and was later expanded to 10 types. The classification has been challenging because of inconsistencies between surgeons making diagnoses and treatments based on the diagnosis.

Can We Accurately Predict the Quadruple Hamstring Graft Diameter From Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging?

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a quadruple hamstring (QH) autograft is a widely utilized procedure with good outcomes. A graft diameter less than 8 mm, however, has been associated with higher revision rates. Accurately determining the diameter of the hamstring tendon preoperatively can help surgeons plan accordingly.

Definitive Diagnosis of Children Presenting to A Pediatric Emergency Department With Fever and Extremity Pain.

Background: Children who present to the emergency department (ED) with complaint of fever and new-onset joint or extremity pain can be a diagnostic dilemma for many emergency and consulting physicians.

Objectives: The purpose of our study was to identify the etiologies of pediatric fever and extremity pain presenting to a tertiary care pediatric ED and to define factors that were associated with advanced imaging, admission, and surgical intervention.

Methods: The electronic medical records of children presenting to our institution's pediatric ED with fever and extremity pain were retrospectively reviewed.
