The effect of complete capsular closure versus nonclosure on return play is unknown.Complete after hip would lead a higher rate faster sports high-level athletes.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A nonrandomized retrospective review was performed high school, collegiate, professional undergoing by single high-volume arthroscopic surgeon. Athletes were divided into those (CC...

Background: It has been demonstrated that an athlete’s psychological readiness contributes to one’s ability successfully return sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, the effect of graft choice on is not yet understood. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose this study was evaluate association between and RTS. hypothesized similar ACL-Return Sport Injury (ACL-RSI) scores would be achieved among patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with quadriceps autograft...

Context Data from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Injury Surveillance Program (ISP) have indicated that ankle injuries are most common among NCAA soccer players.

Study Design. Secondary analysis of a large administrative database. Objective. The objectives this study are to: 1) identify the incidence and cause 90-day readmissions following primary elective lumbar spine surgery, 2) offer insight into potential risk factors that contribute to these readmissions, 3) quantify cost associated with readmissions. Summary Background Data. As bundled-payment models for reimbursement surgical services become more popular in spine, focus is shifting toward...

Knowledge and understanding of the complex anatomy biomechanical function native posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is vitally important when evaluating PCL injury possible reconstruction. The has relationships with anterior ligament, menisci, tibial spines, Humphrey, Wrisberg, neurovascular structures. Through various experimental designs, role been elucidated. its most well-defined as a primary restraint/stabilizer to stress it seems this greatest at higher degrees knee flexion. natural...

Superior capsular reconstruction has emerged as a promising technique in the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. The technical aspects surgery continue to evolve, and scientific studies evaluate these techniques are emerging. One such area interest concerns appropriate thickness graft its role spacer. original description was an autograft tensor fascia lata, which folded achieve around 8 mm. It been demonstrated that 8-mm is superior biomechanically 4-mm graft, exceeds...

Arthroscopy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing intra-articular knee pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be a clinical adjunct diagnosis; however, it not without its shortcomings. Although highly accurate, even advanced misdiagnoses condition in 1 14 patients with regard to anterior cruciate ligament Previous studies have indicated that MRI fails identify meniscal pathology when one exists of every 10 cases, and diagnoses truly does exist 5 patients. In-office...

Study Design. Descriptive epidemiology study. Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe the cervical spine injuries in collegiate football players. Summary Background Data. incidence and etiology National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) players has not been well defined recent years. Methods. characteristics were identified utilizing NCAA-ISP database. Rates injury calculated as number divided by total athlete-exposures (AEs). AEs any student participation one...

An adequate characterization of 90-day readmissions after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) on a national level remains to be undertaken. As bundled payment models become more prevalent, an improved understanding readmission data will help predict resource utilization and expenses.All adult patients who underwent elective RTSA in 2014 the National Readmission Database were included analysis. Two cohorts created based status. Multivariate analysis was then performed determine...

Study Design. Descriptive epidemiology study. Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe the neck and cervical spine injuries in collegiate athletes over a 5-year period. Summary Background Data. incidence etiology National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has not been well defined recent years. Methods. characteristics were identified utilizing NCAA Injury Surveillance Program database. Rates injury calculated as number divided by total athlete-exposures (AEs). AEs any...

Biceps tenodesis has been proven to be an effective treatment for biceps tendon and superior labral pathology. Many techniques including both open arthroscopic approaches have reported. Open afford management of the entire proximal but are limited by wound healing issues, increased bleeding, surgical time. Arthroscopic offers benefits in terms efficiency, cosmesis, bleeding risk. However, standard only addresses intra-articular In this report we describe all-arthroscopic technique at...

Positive-pressure exhaust suits cost more than standard surgical gowns, and recent evidence suggests that they do not decrease infection risk. As a result, some hospitals surgeons have abandoned positive-pressure in favor of less expensive alternatives. We propose addition to their original purpose decreasing rates, may also improve personal protection for the surgeon assistants, perhaps justifying added costs.(1) Do exposure particulate matter during TKA? (2) What areas covered by gowning...

Up to 50% of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) football players have a history shoulder injuries. The quarterback position has been shown high prevalence these injuries because its unique exposures. There is little information regarding the injury type and mechanism in NCAA quarterbacks.To understand 10-year epidemiology specific rates quarterbacks.Descriptive study.Shoulder data for collegiate quarterbacks from 2004 through 2014 academic years were analyzed using Injury...

Hip arthroscopy is a safe and effective mechanism for treating femoroacetabular impingement symptoms in high level athletes. Bilateral occur subset of this population.To discuss outcomes bilateral hip high-level athletes compare standard staged timeline arthroscopic surgery versus an accelerated timeline.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A retrospective review all arthroscopies was performed on over 3-year period. Patients were categorized into cohorts based upon when the second procedure (4-6...

Background: In patients with femoroacetabular impingement, preoperative diagnostic injections are commonly used to establish a diagnosis of intra-articular pathology. some cases, steroid also for therapeutic purposes. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose this study was determine if positive response injection predictive superior outcomes after hip arthroscopy the arthroscopy. It hypothesized that would be improved short- midterm Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: This...
