Injuries are inherent to the sport of American football and often require operative management. Outcomes have been reported for certain surgical procedures in professional athletes National Football League (NFL), but there is little information comparing career effect these procedures.To catalog postoperative outcomes orthopaedic NFL compare respective prognoses effects on careers.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Athletes undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, Achilles tendon...
Objective— Perivascular cells, including pericytes, macrophages, smooth muscle and other specialized cell types, like podocytes, participate in various aspects of vascular function. However, aside from the well-established roles cells contributions vascular-associated are poorly understood. Our goal was to ascertain function perivascular macrophages adult tissues under nonpathological conditions. Approach Results— We combined confocal microscopy, vivo depletion, vitro assays investigate...
Background: Excellent outcomes have been reported for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) in professional athletes a number of different sports. However, no study has directly compared these between Purpose: To determine if differences performance-based exist after ACLR each sport. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: National Football League (NFL), Basketball Association (NBA), Hockey (NHL), and Major Baseball (MLB) undergoing primary an acute rupture...
In recent years, the utilization of hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has increased due its low complication rates, positive impact on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and association with faster rehabilitation. Despite this, there are high rates revision conversion total arthroplasty (THA) in some these patients. It is unclear whether time from initial FAIS diagnosis surgery a risk factor for poor outcomes. this study, we examined relationship between...
ObjectiveTo investigate whether insurance coverage criteria for meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) are sufficiently supported in the policy documentation and these represent current research expert consensus on indications procedure.DesignThe top 11 United States (US)-based national commercial health payers MAT were identified. A Google search was performed to identify payer policies. Cited references within documents classified by type of reference reviewed level evidence (LOE)....
Background: Representing approximately 10% of all meniscal tears, bucket-handle tears (BHMTs) are large longitudinal vertical that have an attached fragment flipped into the intercondylar notch. Meniscectomy often results in significant loss and increased joint loading. Alternatively, repair attempts to restore function meniscus aims preserve mechanics. Purpose: To evaluate long-term risk subsequent ipsilateral knee surgery patients who underwent a (BHMR), assess factors associated with...
Arthroscopic remplissage has continued to gain popularity as an adjunct Bankart repair for patients with anterior shoulder instability. Although the original technique was described over 15 years ago, our understanding of when and how use this procedure continues evolve. This article provides a review affects biomechanics, compares clinical outcomes between other procedures instability, discusses current indications remplissage. Current research focuses on across wide range glenoid bone...
Depression and related psychiatric diagnoses are common in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). The effects of depression on postoperative complications, readmissions, additional ipsilateral surgery not well studied.Patients with preoperative who undergo FAIS would experience higher rates 90-day complications an increased risk procedures, as compared without depression.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A retrospective cohort study between 2010...
Nonoperative and operative treatment modalities have been used for symptom management of adhesive capsulitis, but neither has shown to significantly alter the long-term natural history.The purpose was evaluate current trends in resource strategy utilization patients with capsulitis. It hypothesized that (1) idiopathic capsulitis will primarily undergo nonoperative (2) systemic medical comorbidities demonstrate relatively higher therapies.Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.We searched...
This is a retrospective case series.Define the anatomic variations and risk factors for such within operative corridor of transpsoas lateral interbody fusion.The fusion approach has recently been associated with devastating complications as injury to lumbosacral plexus, surrounding vasculature, bowel. A more comprehensive understanding structures in relation this using preoperative imaging would help surgeons identify high-risk patients potentially minimizing these complications.Age-sex...
While inhibition of bone healing and increased rates pseudarthrosis are known adverse outcomes associated with cigarette smoking, the underlying mechanisms by which this occurs not well understood. Recent work has implicated Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (Ahr) as one mediator anti-osteogenic effects smoke (CS), contains numerous toxic ligands for Ahr. 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, dioxin) is a high-affinity Ahr ligand frequently used to evaluate pathway activation. The purpose study...
Evaluate performance-based outcomes and return-to-sport rate in National Hockey League (NHL) athletes.Retrospective cohort study.Public records. No direct patient care was provided.National athletes who underwent different orthopedic procedures were identified using public Three hundred thirty-seven met inclusion criteria.Common surgical NHL athletes.Return-to-play preoperative postoperative performance measures collected to calculate a position-specific score. Short-term medium-term defined...
Background: Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesions are an uncommon cause anterior instability and may occur in isolation or combination with other pathologies. As HAGL difficult to detect via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) arthroscopy, they can remain unrecognized result continued instability. Purpose: To compare patients shoulder from a large multicenter cohort without diagnosis lesion identify preoperative physical examination findings, patient-reported outcomes,...
