Background: Most rotator cuff surgery is performed on chronic tears. As there no animal model in which to examine the physiology of muscle and tendon injury repair this setting, we developed a sheep. Methods: The infraspinatus was released thirty-six female Biopsy specimens were obtained from analyzed for fat content. force generated by with supramaximal stimulation recorded intraoperatively. A control group (twelve sheep) underwent an immediate repair. In remaining twenty-four sheep,...
Recent epidemiologic reports have demonstrated rising injury rates in Major League Baseball (MLB) and Minor (MiLB). Although several studies recently been published on specific injuries, the majority of injuries not yet formally studied.The purpose this study is to (1) generate a summative analysis all that occur MLB MiLB, (2) identify 50 most common (3) focused fact sheets characteristics each those diagnoses.Case series; Level evidence, 4.The Health Injury Tracking System was used...
Background Rotator cuff repair is a commonly performed procedure, but many of these repairs fail in the postoperative term. Despite advances surgical methods to optimize repair, failure rates still persist clinically, thereby suggesting need for novel mechanical or biological augmentation strategies. Nonresorbable implants provide an appealing approach because patch materials may confer acute stability and act as conductive scaffold tissue ingrowth at site tendon insertion. Hypothesis The...
Identifying causes and risk factors for failure of hip preservation surgery is critical to properly address residual pathological abnormalities in the revision setting improve outcomes this subset patients.To identify structural both open arthroscopic procedures demographic radiographic that correlate with need surgery.Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.A single-center registry was reviewed (N = 1898 1600 patients) 147 patients (n 152 procedures) who had undergone previous pelvic...
Background The treatment of type II superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions remains controversial. Many surgeons are reluctant to combine a SLAP repair with an acromioplasty for fear postoperative shoulder stiffness and poor clinical outcome. Hypothesis A done concomitantly may yield acceptable outcomes. Study Design Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods We compared the results 50 patients who had either isolated (SLAP group, 34 patients) or combined (combined 16 patients)....
In Brief BACKGROUND: Hip arthroscopy causes moderate to severe postoperative pain. We hypothesized that performance of a lumbar plexus block (LPB) would reduce pain in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) for patients discharged home on day surgery. METHODS: Patients received combined spinal epidural with IV sedation, ondansetron, and ketorolac. Half (n = 42) also underwent single-injection bupivacaine LPB. Postoperative analgesia (PACU after discharge) was provided oral...
Normal hip range of motion (ROM) is essential in running and transfer energy from lower to upper extremities during overhead throwing. Dysfunctional ROM may alter extremity kinematics predispose athletes groin injuries. The purpose this study characterize internal/external (Arc) its effect on the risk hip, hamstring, injuries professional baseball players. Bilateral internal external was measured all players (N=201) one organization (major minor league) spring training. Players were...
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been increasingly recognized in cutting sports including soccer, hockey and football. More recently, the prevalence among overhead athletes also recognized. The purpose of this study was to review patterns, return-to-play rates clinical outcome following arthroscopic treatment FAI high-level baseball players.Between 2010 2014, 70 competitive players (86 hips; age 22.4 ± 4.5 years) were identified. Demographics recorded. Patient-reported scores, Modified...
Understanding specific risk profiles for each patient and their propensity to experience clinically meaningful improvement after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is important preoperative counseling management of expectations.To develop machine learning algorithms predict achievement the minimal difference (MCID) on International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score at a minimum 2-year follow-up ACLR.Case-control study; Level evidence, 3.An ACLR registry patients from 27...
Appendicitis in pregnancy (AIP) is the most common nonobstetric cause of an acute abdomen requiring surgical intervention. Diagnostic difficulties arising from gestational symptoms compound risk foetal loss after negative appendicectomy and exponentially increase to mother foetus with delay genuine cases. In this article, we investigate signs AIP attempt identify consistent clinical features review role imaging diagnosis.MEDLINE PubMed were searched for case-control studies recording...
The aim of this descriptive epidemiology study was to evaluate the injury incidence, pattern and type as a function position in one professional baseball organization for complete season.The carried out major academic center.Participants were all major/minor league players playing organization.The disabled/injury list single (major minor players) reviewed injuries number total days missed secondary each injury.All categorized into anatomic zones that included: shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand,...
BACKGROUND: Intraabdominal fluid extravasation (IAFE) after hip arthroscopy has historically been diagnosed in catastrophic circumstances with abdominal compartment syndrome requiring diuresis or surgical decompression. A previous retrospective study found the prevalence of symptomatic IAFE decompression to be 0.16%, risk factors including procedure and high pump pressures. can rapidly by using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) via Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma (FAST)...
Background Hip arthroscopy is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study investigates the clinically analgesic effect of anterior quadratus lumborum block multimodal analgesia compared alone. The authors hypothesized that an would be superior for pain control. Methods Ninety-six adult patients undergoing ambulatory hip were enrolled. Patients randomized either a single-shot (30 ml bupivacaine 0.5% 2 mg preservative-free...
Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction techniques have afforded baseball players up to a reported 90% return prior or higher level of play. A subpopulation exists with less impressive clinical outcomes potentially related the presence concomitant flexor-pronator mass injury.Combined and ulnar injuries occur in older players, results this group are inferior those for isolated reconstructions.Case Series; Level evidence, 4.All who had reconstructions by 1 surgeon over 6-year period were...
