Article Synopsis
  • The article focuses on femoracetabular impingement (FAI) as a major cause of hip pain in children and adolescents, highlighting hip arthroscopy as an effective minimally invasive treatment option.
  • Recent findings show that arthroscopy leads to significant improvements in pain and function for patients with FAI stemming from various conditions, including idiopathic FAI and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
  • The procedure is particularly beneficial for young athletes, allowing them to return to sports with low risk, but it's important for families to discuss all treatment options and potential risks involved.

Purpose: To investigate opioid utilization after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the setting of a multimodal pain regimen and assess the feasibility of prescribing fewer opioids to achieve adequate postoperative pain control.

Methods: Patients undergoing ACL reconstruction in conjunction with a multimodal approach to pain control were randomized to receive either 30 or 60 tablets of hydrocodone (10 mg)-acetaminophen (325 mg). Patients were contacted at multiple time points up to 21 days after surgery to assess opioid utilization and medication side effects.

Objective: There is limited literature investigating the reliability of magnetic resonance-based assessments of labral size. The goal of this study was to validate the reliability of magnetic resonance arthrography-based labral size measurements with intra-operative arthroscopic measurements.

Methods: Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears were prospectively enrolled.

This study sought to determine whether shortened recovery periods between regularly scheduled Sunday NFL games and Thursday Night Football games significantly increased the incidence of injury in NFL players. NFL injury reports and injury reserve data were collected for every NFL player, on all 32 NFL teams, for each week during the regular season, for the 2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015, 2015-2016, and 2016-2017 NFL seasons. Injuries were defined as any reported injury, not previously documented in an injury report prior to said injury.
