Article Synopsis
- Current research on managing the hip capsule after hip arthroscopy shows no significant difference in outcomes between capsular repair and unrepaired capsulotomy, as measured by patient-reported outcomes.
- A study evaluated 28 patients using MRI to assess capsular integrity, revealing fewer defects in the repaired group (2) compared to the unrepaired group (7), but these differences were not statistically significant.
- The findings suggest that while capsular defects were affected by the presence of a labral repair and the lateral center-edge angle, overall, the type of capsular management (repair vs. unrepaired) did not yield substantial differences in defect rates.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how well femoroacetabular offset (FAO) is restored using either short or conventional hip stems during total hip arthroplasty, emphasizing the importance of restoring anatomy to improve post-surgery function.
- It uses digital templating on 100 hip radiographs to classify restoration success based on whether the FAO difference from baseline is less than or equal to 5 mm.
- Findings will help determine the effectiveness of short stems in restoring anatomy and assess the reliability of these measurements involving multiple observers.
Two young patients with a Pauwels type 3 femoral neck fracture were treated with cannulated screws and the addition of an anteromedial buttress plate on the femoral neck. Both developed a non-union necessitating a salvage procedure. A Pauwels' osteotomy led to uneventful and complete healing in both patients.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate whether the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) and the central sensitization inventory (CSI) are predictive factors for the reported pain after hip arthroscopy.
Methods: A total of 37 patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears were prospectively enrolled. All patients completed the PCS and CSI before hip arthroscopy.
Background: Hip capsular management after hip arthroscopy remains a topic of debate. Most available current literature is of poor quality and are retrospective or cohort studies. As of today, no clear consensus exists on capsular management after hip arthroscopy.

June 2021
Introduction: Injuries to the quadriceps extensor mechanism are rare in patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). To the best of our knowledge, non-union of the patella in OI, either as an isolated problem or in combination with an acute fracture, has not been previously reported.
Case Report: We describe how we surgically approached both the fracture and the non-union simultaneously.
In this review, we bring to the attention of the reader three relatively unknown types of hip impingement. We explain the concept of low anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) impingement, also known as sub-spine impingement, ischio-femoral impingement (IFI) and pelvi-trochanteric impingement. For each type of impingement, we performed a search of relevant literature.
