Sex-Based Differences in the Arthroscopic Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: 10-Year Outcomes With a Nested Propensity-Matched Comparison.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Des Plaines, Illinois, USA.
Background: Sex has been associated with different pathologic characteristics in painful hips undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery.
Purpose: To compare minimum 10-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and survivorship in patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears according to sex.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
Endoscopic Iliopsoas Fractional Lengthening as a Treatment for Refractory Iliopsoas Impingement After Total Hip Arthroplasty Shows Favorable Functional Outcomes With No Impact on Range of Motion.

American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.; American Hip Institute, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.. Electronic address:
Purpose: To report the minimum 2-year clinical outcomes of endoscopic iliopsoas fractional lengthening (IFL) in patients with recalcitrant iliopsoas tendinitis after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: Data were prospectively collected from 2014 to 2020 for patients who underwent IFL after primary THA as part of our institutional hip outcomes registry. Patients were included if they had completed the following patient-reported outcomes preoperatively and at minimum 2-year follow-up: modified Harris Hip Score and visual analog scale score.
UCF101 Rescues against Diabetes-Evoked Cardiac Remodeling and Contractile Anomalies through AMP-Activated Protein Kinase-Mediated Induction of Mitophagy.

Department of Cardiology, Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is known to provoke devastating anomalies in myocardial structure and function, while effective therapeutic regimen is still lacking. The selective protease inhibitor UCF101 (5-[5-(2-nitrophenyl) furfuryl iodine]-1,3-diphenyl-2-thiobarbituric acid) has been shown to fend off ischemic heart injury, although its impact on diabetic cardiomyopathy remains elusive.
Methods: Our present work was conducted to examine the effect of UCF101 on experimental diabetes-evoked cardiac geometric and functional abnormalities as well as mechanisms involved.
A Multicenter Analysis of 3 Decades of Hip Arthroscopy: Evolving Techniques and Growing Patient Volumes From 1988 to 2022.
Orthop J Sports Med
October 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the evolution and trends of hip arthroscopy procedures at three academic centers in the U.S. from 1988 to 2022.
- Over the years, the annual number of surgeries dramatically increased from an average of 3.2 per year (1988-2008) to 285.9 per year (2016-2022), reflecting a growing acceptance of the procedure.
- Key surgical techniques evolved, with a shift from primarily debridement (100%) in the early years to a predominance of labral repair (94%) and significant increases in cam resection (up to 86.9%) and capsular repair (up to 81%) by 2022.
Arthroscopic Fractional Lengthening After Total Hip Arthroplasty Results in Improved Patient-Reported Outcomes and Low Rates of Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil
June 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, U.S.A.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and reoperation rates of arthroscopic iliopsoas release after total hip arthroplasty (THA) at two medical institutions, focusing on patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
- A total of 60 hips from 58 patients were reviewed, revealing that 77% of patients experienced improvements in their condition, with notable pain reduction and increased hip flexion strength.
- The findings indicated that while surgery satisfaction was relatively high (7.2 out of 10), there was no significant correlation between the preoperative acetabular component overhang and postoperative outcomes.
