Article Synopsis
  • Iliopsoas tendinopathy, causing groin pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA), affects 2.2% of patients, particularly those who are younger or have a history of spine fusion.
  • A study analyzed data from 2,120 THAs to identify risk factors and how these affect patient-reported outcomes, finding that younger patients reported worse scores for hip disability and more pain complaints.
  • Significant predictors of iliopsoas tendinopathy include younger age and spine fusion, with these patients being more likely to experience low back pain and greater trochanter pain post-surgery.

Background: Morphologic variations of the scapula and acromion have been found to be associated with shoulder pathology. This study used statistical shape modelling to quantify these variations in healthy shoulders.

Materials And Methods: A statistical shape model of the scapula was created using 3-dimensional computed tomography reconstructions of 108 survey-confirmed nonpathologic shoulders of 54 patients.
