Background: Most surgeons believe that graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an important factor related to outcome; however, revision may be limited due previously used grafts. Hypotheses: Autograft use would result in increased sports function, activity level, and decreased osteoarthritis symptoms (as measured by validated patient-reported outcome instruments). failure reoperation rate 2 years after ACL reconstruction. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of...
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...
Background: At the time of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, there are usually concurrent meniscal and articular cartilage injuries. It is unclear if a significant difference between intra-articular injuries at primary ACL reconstruction compared with revision reconstruction. Purpose: To compare found surgery to determine associations specific findings. Study Design: Cohort study (prevalence); Level evidence, 2. Methods: Primary surgeries were identified from Multicenter...
The factors that lead to patients failing multiple anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are not well understood.Multiple-revision ACL reconstruction will have different characteristics than first-time revision in terms of previous and current graft selection, mode failure, chondral/meniscal injuries, surgical charactieristics.Case-control study; Level evidence, 3.A prospective multicenter database was utilized for the time period from March 2006 June 2011. Patients were divided...
Background: While a vast body of literature exists describing biceps tenodesis techniques and evaluating the biomechanical aspects locations or various implants, little presents useful clinical outcomes to guide surgeons in their decision perform particular method tenodesis. Purpose/Hypothesis: To compare open subpectoral (OSPBT) arthroscopic suprapectoral (ASPBT). Our null hypothesis was that both methods would yield satisfactory results with regard shoulder function, postoperative scores,...
There have been few studies that evaluated ambulatory total shoulder arthroplasty. The objectives of the present study were to investigate current trends in arthroplasty United States; characterize rate postoperative complications, hospital readmission, and risk factors associated with readmission; conduct a cost analysis comparing matched inpatient arthroplasty.A national insurance database was queried for patients who underwent anatomic between fourth quarter 2010 2014. Patients undergoing...
Background: Tenodesis of the long head biceps tendon has become a popular surgical treatment option for patients with pain or instability attributed to diseased unstable tendon. No previous studies have characterized practice patterns surgeons performing tenodesis in United States. Purpose: To investigate current trends both arthroscopic and open across time, sex, age, region States as well associated charges. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Patients who underwent...
During anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, we have found that the femoral footprint can best be visualized from anteromedial portal. Independent tunnel drilling then performed through an accessory medial portal, and inferior to standard portal.To compare accuracy of independent placement relative ACL using portal versus with a traditional transtibial technique.Controlled laboratory study.Ten matched pairs cadaveric knees were randomized such within each pair, one knee...
Background: Shoulder arthroscopy is well established as a highly effective and safe procedure for the treatment several shoulder disorders associated with an exceedingly low risk of infectious complications. Few data exist regarding factors infection after arthroscopy, previous studies were not adequately powered to evaluate infection. Purpose: To determine patient-related by using large insurance database. Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: The PearlDiver patient...
Despite recent advances in the treatment of hepatitis C, it is estimated that nearly 4 million Americans have a chronic form disease. Although research lower-extremity arthroplasty suggests patients with C are at risk for increased complications, including postoperative bleeding, acute infection, and general medical no similar studies investigated this question undergoing total shoulder (TSA).We asked whether there an complications after TSA among who if so, what particular seem more likely...
Background: Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been documented to have worse outcomes compared with primary ACL reconstructions. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was determine if the prevalence, location, and/or degree meniscal and chondral damage noted at time revision predicts activity level, sports function, osteoarthritis symptoms 2-year follow-up. hypothesis that loss high-grade will result in lower levels, decreased participation, more pain,...
Background: While revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) can be performed to restore knee stability and improve patient activity levels, outcomes after this surgery are reported inferior those primary ACLR. Further reoperations ACLR have an even more profound effect on satisfaction outcomes. However, there is a current lack of information regarding the rate risk factors for subsequent Purpose: To report reoperations, procedures performed, reoperation 2 years Study Design:...
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a widespread and growing medical condition, with significant orthopaedic implications. However, the effect of osteoporosis on outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) not well understood. The goal present study was to characterize incidence in patients undergoing examine whether anatomic reverse TSA are at an increased risk prosthetic-related complications. Methods: Complication rates were calculated for who underwent as separate cohorts within 2 years...
Background: Although graft choice may be limited in the revision setting based on previously used grafts, most surgeons believe that for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an important factor related to outcome. Hypothesis: In ACL setting, there would no difference between autograft and allograft rerupture rate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at 6-year follow-up. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Patients who had surgery were identified prospectively...
Background: Knees undergoing revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction typically have more intra-articular injuries than do knees primary reconstruction. Hypothesis: Previous partial meniscectomy (PM) is associated with a higher rate of chondral lesions at ACL reconstruction, whereas previous meniscal repair (MR) not compared no surgery. Study design: Cohort study (Prevalence); Level evidence, 2. Methods: Data from multicenter cohort was reviewed to determine the history prior...
