No Difference in 2-Year Outcomes for Non-Hypermobile Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy With and Without Closure of Periportal Capsulotomy.
Arthroscopy
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, U.S.A.. Electronic address:
Purpose: To assess whether capsular closure during hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy affects 2-year postoperative outcomes for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) without hypermobility.
Methods: A matched-cohort retrospective analysis of a single institutional database of patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy for management of FAIS between 2014 and 2022 was performed. Study inclusion criteria consisted of patients with FAIS who exhibited no signs of generalized ligamentous laxity (GLL) (Beighton score 0).
Endocrinologic Abnormalities Observed Among Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients Using "Artri King" and Related Over-the-Counter Supplements: A Cautionary Tale from a Safety Net Hospital.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90333, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Artri King was an over-the-counter supplement aimed at treating joint pain, but the FDA warned it contained hidden ingredients like dexamethasone, which can pose health risks like adrenal insufficiency.
- A study was conducted on patients who used the supplement and found significant health issues, including low cortisol levels and one case of new diabetes, prompting referrals to endocrinology.
- The findings highlight the potential severe effects of such supplements, leading to recommendations for regular screening and careful monitoring of patients who use them.
Two-Year Clinical Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Synthetic Cartilage Arthroplasty for First Metatarsophalangeal Osteoarthritis.
Cureus
December 2024
Trauma and Orthopaedics, North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, London, GBR.
Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the effectiveness of the Cartiva synthetic cartilage implant for treating severe osteoarthritis in the first metatarsophalangeal joint, aiming to provide pain relief and maintain joint mobility compared to traditional arthrodesis.
- Researchers reviewed outcomes from 64 patients, focusing on various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to evaluate functional improvement over a three-year period post-surgery.
- Results indicated significant enhancements in PROMs for most patients, although one individual experienced an infection related to the implant.
Medicare and Medicaid patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty have more complications and healthcare utilization than privately insured patients.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, 601 N Caroline Street, Baltimore, MD, 21287, USA.
Aims & Objectives: This study characterized the independent association between insurance type and healthcare outcomes in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
Materials &methods: National data identified patients who underwent total hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle or wrist joint arthroplasty surgery from 2012 to 2020 for osteoarthritis. Medicaid, Medicare≥65 years old, Medicare<65 years old, and uninsured patients were matched to privately insured patients based on age, sex, and comorbidities.
Excellent 2-Year Outcomes of a Midlevel Constrained Liner Used in Stemless Primary TKA.
HSS J
March 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY, USA.
Introduction: Instability after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a leading cause of revision TKA and can lead to patient dissatisfaction. While many companies have developed midlevel constrained (MLC) polyethylene inserts in primary TKAs, there is little data on their outcomes.
Purpose: We sought to analyze short-term outcomes including survivorship, rates of manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), and improvements in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) preoperatively to postoperatively in one design of MLC TKA.
