-
To analyze the contribution of a secondary anterolateral structure (ALS) deficiency to knee instability based on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency, in the condition of a functional iliotibial band (ITB). ⋯ In the condition of functional ITB, concomitant ALS injury might not exacerbate anterior and pivot-shift instability after ACL rupture, while affecting isolated internal rotation stability at higher flexion.
-
The purpose of this study is to define the impact of preoperative opioid use on postoperative opioid use, patient-reported outcomes, and revision rates in a cohort of patients receiving arthroscopic shoulder surgery. ⋯ Level III, retrospective cohort study.
-
To determine how intraoperative assessment (engagement test) may affect recurrent dislocation rate and to compare the clinical outcomes, recurrence rates, and presence of on-/off-track conditions between cases that received arthroscopic Bankart repair alone (nonengaged Hill-Sachs lesion) and Bankart repair with remplissage (engaged Hill-Sachs lesion). ⋯ III, retrospective comparative study.
-
To report the rates of achieving clinically significant outcomes as defined by the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS), or substantial clinical benefit (SCB) in adolescent patients and the rates of clinical failure 5 years after undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). ⋯ IV, Retrospective Case Series.

Review Meta Analysis
Intra-articular Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Systematic Review of Clinical Outcomes and Evidence of Cartilage Repair.
To provide a systematic review of the clinical literature reporting the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in terms of clinical outcomes including pain and function and cartilage repair in patients with osteoarthritis. ⋯ Level III; systematic review of level I, II, and III studies.
