Purpose: To compare the outcomes of contracture release by arthroscopic versus open surgical approach in patients with external snapping hip (ESH) caused by gluteal muscle contracture (GMC).

Methods: Medical records of patients with ESH due to GMC who underwent open surgery (n = 44) or arthroscopic surgery (n = 48) between October 2008 and October 2014 were reviewed. Patients were followed up at 1, 3, 12, and 24 months postoperatively.

This study analyzed the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic outside-in repair of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus that includes covering the lesion with an infrapatellar pedicle fat flap in patients with chronic tears. This retrospective study reviewed 87 patients with chronic tears of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus who underwent arthroscopic outside-in repair, which included covering the lesion with an infrapatellar pedicle fat flap (group A, n=45) or not (group B, n=42). The 2 groups were similar in terms of age, sex, body mass index, and disease duration.
