Introduction: This study evaluated intraoperative findings and outcomes in Tönnis grade-2 patients after hip arthroscopy and compared these results with patients with Tönnis grade-0 and grade-1.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy between January 2013 and December 2017. Patients were divided into either Tönnis grade-2, grade-1, and grade-0 osteoarthritis groups. Labral and chondral status were evaluated. Radiographic analysis, modified Harris hip score (mHHS), a self-administered Hip Outcome Score (HOS) questionnaire, with activity of daily living (ADL) and sports subscale (SSS), and a self-administered short version of the International Hip Outcome Tool (IHOT-12) were assessed at 6, 12 months, and then yearly. Clinical meaningful outcomes were measured with the minimal clinical important difference (MCID), patient acceptable symptom state (PASS), and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) for mHHS, HOS-ADL and HOS-SSS, and IHOT-12.

Results: A total of 264 hip arthroscopic procedures met the inclusion criteria. There were 38 patients Tönnis grade-2, 91 patients Tönnis grade-1, and 135 patients Tönnis grade-0. Mean follow-up was 48.7 months in Tönnis grade-2 group, 48.6 months in Tönnis grade-0 group, and 48.1 months in Tönnis grade-1 group. Tönnis grade-2 patients had more extensive rim chondral damage, and a higher rate of labral debridement was performed in this group. There were no statistically significant differences in preoperative PROs among the groups. Tönnis grade-2 group had statistically significant improvement in mHHS, but not in HOS-AVD, HOS-SSS and IHOT-12. Between T1 and T2 groups there were no statistically significant differences in outcomes. Lower significant percentage values of Tönnis grade-2 patients achieved MCID, PASS, and SCB threshold.

Conclusion: Improvements in PROs and rates of achieving clinical meaningful outcomes were limited for patients with Tönnis grade-2 after HA at 4-year follow-up. The outcomes of the Tönnis grade-2 cohort deteriorate over mid-term follow-up. Our results could be used in orthopedic practice to inform patients about the limited role of hip arthroscopy as a joint preservation procedure in these selected patients.

Level Of Evidence: Cohort study, level 3.

Pocket hematoma is a common and serious complication following cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel pocket compression device in reducing pocket hematoma occurrence. We enrolled 242 patients undergoing CIED implantation, randomly assigning them to receive either the novel compression vest with a pressure cuff or conventional sandbag compression.

Purpose: Hematological toxicities (HTs) in lung cancer (LCa) may compromise the delivery of Radio-Chemotherapy (RTCT), and consequently affect the control of the disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with HT.

Material/methods: In this prospective multicentre study, 264 patients with primary LCa treated with RTCT between 2012 and 2018 were included.
