Return to Golf After Hip Arthroscopy: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Context: Patients experiencing pain from femoral acetabular impingement and considering hip arthroscopy may be concerned about their timeline to resume activities they enjoy, such as golf.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to review current literature on return-to-play data after hip arthroscopy and to provide clinicians with data to set proper expectations with patients.

Data Sources: The following terms were used to search PubMed and Embase electronic databases on October 18, 2023: hip, arthroscopy, arthroscopic, golf.

The Effects of Single Accreditation and Pass/Fail Licensing Exams on Osteopathic Medical Students Applying to Surgical Residency Programs.

Objective: To examine the effects of single accreditation and pass/fail licensing exams on osteopathic (DO) medical students applying for surgical residency.

Design: Electronic surveys were distributed to 1509 program directors (PD) in 10 surgical specialties. PDs were separated into 2categories based on their program's accreditation status prior to single accreditation: formerly accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) or not accredited by the AOA.

The Complication of a Retained Broken Distal Interlocking Screw Within a Cephalomedullary Nail During Conversion Hip Arthroplasty: A Case Report.

In patients who undergo femoral fracture fixation with a cephalomedullary nail, the breakage of one or more of the distal interlocking screws is a well-described phenomenon. The presence of a broken interlocking screw in patients who require the removal of their cephalomedullary nail presents a unique challenge. The broken interlocking screw may be retrieved, or the screw may be retained if it is not engaged within the nail and the nail can safely be removed while leaving the broken screw fragment behind.

Obesity Stratification Predicts Short-Term Complications After Parastomal Hernia Repair.

Introduction: While previous studies have documented adverse outcomes among obese patients undergoing ventral and inguinal hernia repairs, there is a lack of literature regarding the impact of obesity on parastomal hernia (PSH) repair. This retrospective study aims to determine the value of obesity stratification in predicting postoperative complications in patients undergoing PSH repair.

Materials And Methods: Outcomes of elective PSH repairs from 2010 to 2020 in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database were analyzed.
