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.
-
(1) To determine patient factors associated with prolonged opioid use following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and (2) to evaluate the influence of preoperative opioid use on patient-reported outcomes. ⋯ Level III, Retrospective Cohort Study.
-
To investigate patient return to sport and satisfaction after meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT). ⋯ Level IV, retrospective case series.
-
To compare the return-to-sport rate, functional outcomes, and complications of the "classic Latarjet" surgery with those of the "congruent arc Latarjet" surgery in athletes with recurrent glenohumeral instability and failed previous stabilization procedures. ⋯ Retrospective comparative study; Level of evidence, 3.

Editorial Commentary: As Nature Intended: Will Inclusion of the Medial Patellotibial Ligament Create a Better Medial Patellofemoral Complex Reconstruction?
The medial patellofemoral complex, composed predominantly of the medial patellofemoral ligament, plays an important role in patellar tracking and stability. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is accordingly one of the most broadly applied surgical techniques for treating patellar instability. ⋯ The medial patellotibial ligament clearly serves an important supporting role in patellar tracking and stability, particularly in early flexion, and its inclusion in medial soft-tissue reconstructions more closely restores native patella tracking. Whether reconstructions incorporating the medial patellotibial ligament will translate to improved outcomes remains unclear.
