Article Synopsis
  • Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) usage has significantly increased in the U.S., but there is limited information on its link to ligament injuries, particularly ACL injuries.
  • This study aimed to determine the relationship between TRT and the occurrence of ACL injuries, along with the risk of ACL reconstruction failure, hypothesizing that TRT users would face higher risks for these injuries.
  • Results showed that TRT patients had a greater likelihood of sustaining ACL tears within the first two years, but there was no significant difference in ACL reconstruction failure rates between TRT users and non-users over a five-year period.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of the senior author's hybrid "mini-open" technique for abductor tendon repair at 2-year follow-up.

Methods: After institutional review board approval, we performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data for all patients undergoing isolated mini-open gluteus medius tendon repairs from January 2018 to January 2022. Inclusion criteria included ongoing abductor pain refractory to nonoperative management, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrating gluteus medius/minimus tear, completion of preoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) including Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score for Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcome Score for Sports-Related Activities (HOS-SS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and minimum 2-year follow-up.

Purpose: To assess the ability of ChatGPT-4 and Gemini to generate accurate and relevant responses to the 2022 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: Responses from ChatGPT-4 and Gemini to prompts derived from all 15 AAOS guidelines were evaluated by 7 fellowship-trained orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons using a structured questionnaire assessing 5 key characteristics on a scale from 1 to 5. The prompts were categorized into 3 areas: diagnosis and preoperative management, surgical timing and technique, and rehabilitation and prevention.
