To compare the clinical outcomes and meniscal extrusion measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between the keyhole bone-plug technique and arthroscopic-assisted pullout suture technique in lateral meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT). ⋯ Level IV, case series with intragroup comparisons.
-
To define minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) in revision hip arthroscopy. ⋯ Level IV, case series.
-
To correlate preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative anatomic findings within the proximal long head biceps tendon to histologic evaluation of 3 separate zones of the tendon in patients with chronic biceps tendinopathy. ⋯ Proximal versus distal biceps tenodesis is a subject of frequent debate. This study contributes to the ongoing evaluation of the characteristics of the proximal biceps in this type of pathologic condition.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the greater than 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction of patients who were treated with hip arthroscopy for snapping iliopsoas tendons that were painful with concomitant acetabular dysplasia and who underwent iliopsoas lengthening for symptomatic iliopsoas tendon snapping with concomitant capsular plication and treatment of hip impingement. Secondary measures included observation of the change in the Tönnis grade at greater than 2 years' follow-up. ⋯ Level IV, case series.

Editorial Comment
Editorial Commentary: Meniscus Transplantation With or Without Bone Blocks: If You Don't Have to Break It, Don't.
The C-shaped meniscus cartilages normally insert into bone around the tibial spines of the knee. As the knee joint rotates and flexes, circumferential hoop stresses are generated within the tissue, resisted by the collagen fibers that define both the insertion points and the ultrastructure of the meniscus tissue itself. For a transplanted meniscus to work normally, the biomechanical interface of the collagen fibers to the bone must be recreated.
