Purpose Of Review: Non-arthritic hip pain is a common presentation among the general population, with many possible contributing etiologies. While radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are all within the standard diagnostic workup, ultrasonography has emerged as a facile tool given its low cost, lack of radiation, and dynamic application. This article reviews the utility of ultrasound (US) in evaluation of non-arthritic hip pain and its ability to detect pathology both statically and dynamically in comparison and as an adjunct to standard imaging modalities.

Background: The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to frequent schedule changes, abbreviated seasons, and disrupted training at all levels of organized sports.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of sports-related injuries at a single National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I institution during the 2020 COVID lockdown season when compared with pre-COVID seasons. It was hypothesized that there would be an increase in the overall injury rate and an increase in the number of days missed because of injury during the 2020 season when compared with the previous seasons.

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to create a dynamic cadaveric shoulder model to determine the effect of graft fixation angle on shoulder biomechanics following SCR and to assess which commonly used fixation angle (30° vs 45° of abduction) results in superior glenohumeral biomechanics.

Methods: Twelve fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were evaluated using a dynamic shoulder testing system. Humeral head translation, subacromial and glenohumeral contact pressures were compared among 4 conditions: 1) Intact, 2) Irreparable supra- and infraspinatus tendon tear, 3) SCR using acellular dermal allograft (ADA) fixation at 30° of abduction, and 4) SCR with ADA fixation at 45° of abduction.

Background: Markers of a patient's social determinants of health, including healthcare insurance and median household income based on ZIP Code, have been associated with the interval between injury and ACL reconstruction (ACLR) as well as the presence of concomitant meniscus tears in children and adolescents. However, the aforementioned surrogate indicators of a patient's social determinants of health may not reflect all socioeconomic and healthcare resources affecting the care of ACL injuries in children and adolescents. The use of multivariate indices such as the Child Opportunity Index (COI) may help to better identify patients at risk for increased risk for delay between ACL injury and surgery, as well as the incidence of meniscus tears at the time of surgery.

Background: Previous studies have investigated the impact of social determinants of health, such as the type of healthcare insurance and household income, on children and adolescents with ACL tears. However, despite the increasing incidence of ACL injury in young patients and a substantial proportion of families who may prefer languages other than English, the relationship between language and clinical care remains unclear.

Questions/purposes: To investigate the relationship between language and the care of children and adolescents with ACL tears, we asked: (1) Is a preferred language other than English (PLOE) associated with a delay between ACL injury and surgery? (2) Is a PLOE associated with a greater odds of a patient experiencing a meniscal tear and undergoing a meniscectomy than in those who prefer English?

Methods: We treated 591 patients surgically for ACL injuries between 2011 and 2021.

Importance: The Instability Severity Index (ISI) score was developed to evaluate a patient's risk of recurrent shoulder instability following arthroscopic Bankart repair. While patients with an ISI score of >6 were originally recommended to undergo an open procedure (ie, Latarjet) to minimise the risk of recurrence, recent literature has called into question the utility of the ISI score.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of the ISI score as a tool to predict postoperative recurrence among patients undergoing arthroscopic Bankart procedures.

Background: Superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) has been shown to improve shoulder function and reduce pain in patients with isolated irreparable supraspinatus tendon tears. However, the effects of SCR on biomechanics in a shoulder with an extensive posterosuperior rotator cuff tear pattern remain unknown.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to (1) establish a dynamic robotic shoulder model, (2) assess the influence of rotator cuff tear patterns, and (3) assess the effects of SCR on superior humeral head translation after a posterosuperior rotator cuff tear.

Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) occurs due to the diminishing of space between the ischium and lesser trochanter. During a robotic hip study, one hip presented with indications of IFI, an opportunity to explore the pathophysiology and treatment strategies for this unusual condition. This specimen underwent kinematic tests in two states: (i) native lesser trochanter and (ii) resected lesser trochanter.

The Latarjet procedure with transfer of the coracoid process and its attached conjoint tendon is a well-established surgical technique for the treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability in patients with anteroinferior bone loss and/or high risk for recurrence. Biomechanical and clinical studies have shown excellent results and high rates of return to sports. However, there is an absence of standardized, objective criteria to accurately assess an athlete's ability to progress through each phase of rehabilitation.

Background: The acetabular labrum has been found to provide a significant contribution to the distractive stability of the hip. However, the influence of labral height on hip suction seal biomechanics is not known.

Hypothesis: The smaller height of acetabular labrum is associated with decreased distractive stability.

Background: The acetabular labrum contains free nerve endings, and an unstable labrum can result in increased femoral head movement during hip motion. This can be caused by chondrolabral junction (CLJ) separation, especially in association with pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement, and may contribute to hip pain.

Hypothesis: Rim resection alone has no effect on suction seal biomechanics.

Glenohumeral instability is a common pathology of the shoulder joint, especially among young athletes. Despite advancements in technology and the widespread use of diagnostic imaging, a careful history and physical examination still remain the cornerstone of diagnosing patients with shoulder instability. Due to the involvement of many static and dynamic stabilizers, proficient physical examination can be challenging.
