Background: The impact of proximal femoral and combined acetabular version on patient-reported outcomes after arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) remains undefined. purpose this study was to identify associations as well (McKibbin index) with disease-specific, validated, following correction symptomatic FAI. Methods: A prospective hip arthroscopy registry utilized evaluate 243 patients who underwent correct Femoral the McKibbin index were measured prospectively...
Having simple and reliable validated outcome measures is vital to conducting high-quality outcomes research in the field of orthopaedic surgery. Activity level a key prognostic variable for patients with sports injuries. There paucity such activity scales children adolescents who are otherwise healthy athletically active. In addition frequency intensity athletic activity, play coach/trainer supervision important variables unique that not captured available adult scoring systems.To create...
Increased posterior tibial slope is associated with increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in adults. A similar association has not been rigorously examined children and adolescents.To determine whether alterations are ACL tears pediatric adolescent patients to quantify changes by age.Case-control study; Level evidence, 3.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies the knee were reviewed 3 raters blinded each other a 1:1 sample cases age- sex-matched controls. total 76...
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is increasingly diagnosed in young and middle-aged patients. Although arthroscopic procedures are becoming frequently used the treatment of FAI, there little data regarding rates complications or ability hip arthroscopy to improve function specifically adolescent athlete population. Because being it vital know what, if any, improvements can be expected potential complications.We asked (1) whether validated measures after FAI athletes, (2) what might during...
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common among young athletes. Biomechanical studies have led to the development of training programs improve neuromuscular control and reduce ACL injury rates as well screening tools identify athletes at higher risk for injury. The purpose this study was evaluate cost-effectiveness these methods strategies preventing injuries. Methods: A decision-analysis model created three a population participating in organized sports: (1) no or...
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are occurring in youth athletes with increasing frequency. Many ACL reconstruction procedures designed to allow for continued growth patients open physes have been described, but large series mid- long-term outcomes data lacking. The purpose of the current study was assess clinical a cohort prepubescent children who underwent physeal-sparing, combined intra- and extra-articular iliotibial (IT) band autograft over 23-year period. Methods:...
Healthcare providers are increasingly searching for ways to provide cost-efficient, high-quality care. Previous studies on evaluating cost used estimated cost-to-charge ratios, which inherently inaccurate. The purpose of this study was quantify actual direct savings from performing pediatric orthopaedic sports day surgery at an ambulatory center (ASC) compared with a university-based children's hospital (UH).Custom-scripted accounting software queried line-item costs period 3 fiscal years...
All-epiphyseal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a well-described technique for skeletally immature patients. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the early complication rate and identify associated risk factors rerupture after procedure in children.We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent all-epiphyseal ACL reconstructions performed at large, tertiary care children's hospital between January 2007 April 2013. Relevant postoperative data including development...
Background: Rotational ankle fractures often have unstable syndesmotic injuries that require reduction and stabilization. Multiple studies focused on methods to assess reduction; however, the clinical importance of anatomic remains unclear. The purpose this study was determine whether quality influenced outcomes following operative treatment with injuries. Methods: Patients were included from an institutional trauma registry if they had sustained rotational intraoperative evidence...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a popular biologic treatment for musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Despite numerous investigations on the efficacy of PRP therapy, current utilization this within United States is not widely known.To investigate national PRP, including incidence conditions which it used in clinical setting, to determine charges associated with treatment.Descriptive epidemiology study.Using database (PearlDiver) private insurance billing records, we conducted...
Background: The cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is unknown and currently believed to be multifactorial. AIS a largely asymptomatic condition many adolescents with are involved organized athletics physical activity. To date, no data exist indicating predictors return activity after posterior spinal fusion for AIS. In this cohort study, who underwent were evaluated determine what clinical, surgical, demographic variables predicted rate play in athletics. Methods: Forty-two...
