Background: Although hip bracing after hip arthroscopy is relatively common, it is not an evidence-based practice; no comparative studies or clinical trials exploring its effectiveness exist.
Purpose: We sought to summarize the rates of and indications for hip bracing after hip arthroscopy, surgeons' preferences on braces, and the types of braces used.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Medline databases to identify studies that examined hip bracing following hip arthroscopy.
Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are a common entity encountered by dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and other surgeons. Oral propranolol is a mainstay of treatment for IH and is well-tolerated, though propranolol-refractory IH and other drug-related adverse events are documented and can limit its usage. There are few in vitro testing systems for putative treatment agents.

The suction seal effect has been shown to provide stability within the hip, improve biomechanics, and decrease the chance for long-term development of osteoarthritis by optimizing function and force distribution within the hip. Femoral acetabular impingement syndrome damages the labrum and chondrolabral junction, thus negatively impacting the ability of the labrum to maintain native suction seal.

- The study focuses on the impact of hormone therapy on fertility in transgender girls and emphasizes the need for counseling on fertility preservation prior to treatment.
- Eight out of 23 participants were able to provide sperm samples for cryopreservation, with all showing at least one secondary sex characteristic.
- The findings suggest that early referral for fertility preservation can lead to successful results, highlighting a significant proportion of transgender girls can preserve fertility despite undergoing puberty blockade.
Background: Social media use has grown across healthcare delivery and practice, with dramatic changes occurring in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive systematic review to determine the current landscape of social media use by (1) orthopaedic surgery residencies/fellowship training programs and (2) individual orthopaedic surgeons and the change in use over time.
Methods: We searched 3 electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase) from their inception to April 2022 for all studies that analyzed the use of social media in orthopaedic surgery.
