The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that specialized magnetic resonance imaging provides an accurate assessment lesions the articular cartilage knee. Arthroscopy used as comparative standard. Eighty-eight patients who had average age thirty-eight years were evaluated with and subsequent arthroscopy because a suspected meniscal or ligamentous injury. performed sequence in sagittal, coronal, axial planes. Seven surfaces (the patellar facets, trochlea, femoral condyles, tibial...
We studied the gross, histological, and vascular anatomy of glenoid labrum in twenty-three fresh-frozen shoulders from cadavera to demonstrate its cross-sectional anatomy, microvascularity, attachments. The superior anterosuperior portions are loosely attached glenoid, macro-anatomy those is similar that meniscus knee. portion also consistently inserts directly into biceps tendon, while inferior firmly rim appears as a fibrous, immobile extension articular cartilage. arteries supplying...
Background: Injury patterns in elite athletes over long periods continue to evolve. The goal of this study was review the injuries and medical conditions afflicting competing National Basketball Association (NBA) a 17-year period. Design: Descriptive epidemiological study. Methods: Injuries player demographic information were reported by each team’s athletic trainer. Criteria for reportable those that resulted (1) physician referral, (2) practice or game being missed, (3) emergency care....
Background: Many patient-based knee-rating scales are available for the evaluation of athletic patients. However, there is little information on measurement properties these instruments and therefore no evidence to support use one questionnaire rather than another. The goal present study was determine reliability, validity, responsiveness four commonly used patients: Lysholm scale, subjective components Cincinnati system, American Academy Orthopaedic Surgeons sports Activities Daily Living...
Idiopathic adhesive capsulitis usually responds to gentle physical therapy or, if that fails, closed manipulation with the patient under anesthesia. In some patients, however, loss of motion may be refractory either these treatments and an operative release indicated. We are reporting on technique results arthroscopic capsular as a new alternative for management such patients. During three-year period, we managed twenty-three patients who had idiopathic failed respond or manipulation. These...
To our knowledge, there has been no prospective study on the results of arthroscopic repair superior labrum-biceps anchor complex (SLAP) tears with use modern techniques. The purpose present was to prospectively evaluate minimum two-year for patients type-II SLAP that were treated suture fixation.Forty-seven symptomatic evaluated preoperatively and at least two years postoperatively American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (ASES) L'Insalata outcomes instruments physical examination. group included...
Arthroscopic treatment has evolved to become the primary surgical option in management of anterior shoulder instability as studies show comparable outcomes between open and arthroscopic techniques.To evaluate prospectively results our institutional database for Bankart repairs at a minimum 2-year follow-up patients with treated suture anchors.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Eighty-three consecutive underwent repair anchors. The mean age time surgery was 33 years (range, 15-55 years). At an...
In the past 16 years, number of prescription opioids sold in United States, as well deaths from opioids, has nearly quadrupled. However, overall amount pain reported by patients not changed significantly. Specific information about opioid prescriptions perioperative period is lacking. Of studies that have been published, investigators shown majority unused postoperative pills. Moreover, appear to lack disposal pills.To compare pills prescribed versus numbers left after outpatient shoulder...
Knee joint infection is a potentially devastating complication of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. There theoretical increased risk with the use allograft material.An ACL reconstruction predisposes patients to higher bacterial infection.Cohort Study; Level evidence, 3.All primary reconstructions performed at our institution between January 2002 and December 2006 were reviewed; 3126 total procedures identified. A retrospective medical record review was determine incidence...
Background: There is increased interest in understanding the preoperative determinants of postoperative outcomes. Return to play (RTP) and patient-reported minimal clinically important difference (MCID) are useful measures outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Purpose: To define MCID ACLR investigate role outcome scores for predicting RTP ACLR. Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: were 294 active athletes enrolled as part an institutional...
Proximal fractures of the fifth metatarsal (zone II and III) are common in elite athlete can be difficult to treat because a tendency toward delayed union, nonunion, or refracture. The purpose this case series was report our experience treating 10 NBA players, determine healing rate, return play, refracture role foot type these athletes.The records professional basketball players were retrospectively reviewed. Seven athletes underwent standard percutaneous internal fixation with bone marrow...
Background: Return to play and patient satisfaction after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) have been inconsistently studied. The purposes of this study were (1) investigate rates predictors return ACLR, (2) evaluate (3) analyze the relationship between with result ACLR. Methods: Eligible patients active athletes included in an institutional ACL registry who had undergone ACLR followed for a minimum 2 years. A questionnaire was administered elicit information regarding factors...
Interscalene nerve blockade remains one of the most commonly used anesthetic and analgesic approaches for shoulder surgery. The high incidence hemidiaphragmatic paralysis associated with block, however, precludes its use among patients compromised pulmonary function. To address this issue, recent studies have investigated phrenic-sparing alternatives that provide analgesia. None, been able to reliably demonstrate surgical anesthesia without significant risk paralysis. utility superior trunk...
Background The interscalene nerve block provides analgesia for shoulder surgery. To extend duration, provide adequate analgesia, and minimize opioid consumption, the use of adjuvants such as dexamethasone well application perineural liposomal bupivacaine have been proposed. This randomized, double-blinded, noninferiority trial hypothesized that is noninferior to standard with in respect average pain scores first 72 h after Methods A total 112 patients undergoing ambulatory surgery were...
