Background: Many studies have examined the prevalence of acetabular version (AV) and femoral version (FV) abnormalities and their effect on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), but few have explored the prevalence and influence of combined version (CV) abnormalities.

Purpose: To (1) describe the distribution of AV, FV, and CV in the largest cohort to date and (2) determine the relationship between AV, FV, and CV and PROs after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Purpose: To identify the PASS and SCB thresholds for hip arthroscopy and provide guidance on how to choose among the thresholds.

Methods: A systematic review of literature was conducted in PubMed and MEDLINE databases in August 2024 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Studies with Level I to IV evidence that defined SCB or PASS thresholds for PROs for hip arthroscopy in the setting of intra-articular pathology were included.

Objective: Controversy exists regarding treatment of symptomatic low-grade spondylolisthesis (LGS). Both one- and two-stage fusions are commonly performed, but it is unclear if one approach is superior. We aim to compare the satisfaction rates and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with LGS undergoing one- versus two-stage lumbar spine surgery.

The increasing availability of coarse-scale climate simulations and the need for ready-to-use high-resolution variables drive the climate community to the challenge of reducing computational resources and time for downscaling purposes. To this end, statistical downscaling is gaining interest as a potential strategy for integrating high-resolution climate information obtained through dynamical downscaling over limited years, providing a clear understanding of the gains and losses in combining dynamical and statistical downscaling. In this regard, several questions can be raised: (i) what is the performance of statistical downscaling, assuming dynamical downscaling as a reference over a shared time window; (ii) how much the performance of statistical downscaling is affected by changes in the number of years available for training; (iii) how does the climate normal considered for the training affect the predictions.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients recovering from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) completed various assessments to measure strength, hop performance, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs), specifically looking at the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS).
  • A total of 223 participants were evaluated for performance differences between those who did and did not meet the PASS threshold on their PROs.
  • Results indicated that patients achieving the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores had significantly better strength and limb symmetry compared to those who did not meet this PRO threshold.
