RESUMO
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for early hip degeneration in young active patients. The diagnosis depends on clinical examination and proper imaging that should be able to identify abnormal and sometimes subtle morphological changes. Labral tears and cartilage lesions rarely occur without underlying bone abnormalities. Surgical approaches to treat FAI are increasing significantly worldwide, even without a clearly defined consensus of what should be accepted as the standard imaging diagnosis for FAI morphology.Hip abnormalities encompass many variations related to the shape, size, and spatial orientation of both sides of the joint and can be difficult to characterize if adequate imaging is not available.This article presents a comprehensive review about the information orthopaedic surgeons need to know from radiologists to plan the most rational approach to a painful hip resulting from a mechanical abnormality.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We reviewed the recent literature to identify and summarize new research surrounding anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with augmentation in the form of additional soft tissue procedures or biologic augmentation. Specifically, we wanted to review the failure rates of these procedures in both the primary and revision settings. METHODS: The databases Embase, PubMed, and Medline were searched on August 13, 2018, for English-language studies that reported on the use of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (primary and revision) in conjunction with either soft tissue or biologic augmentation. The studies were systematically screened and data abstracted in duplicates. RECENT FINDINGS: Advancements in ACLR surgery, including soft tissue augmentation, may decrease primary and revision surgery failure rates for high-risk patients. The use of biological augmentation has shown histologic and radiographic improvements. These differences, however, have failed to be statistically significant and have not resulted in clinically significant improvements in outcome. The limited body of evidence has shown that the addition of soft tissue procedures may in fact lower the risk of graft re-rupture rates particularly in revision or in patients wishing to return to high-risk sports and activities. The use of biologic augmentation although promising in laboratory studies has yet to show any significant clinical results and therefore will require further studies to prove any efficacy.
RESUMO
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Heterotopic ossification (HO) in hip arthroscopy is a common post-operative complication. This review was undertaken to provide an update (2014 present) on the current literature regarding HO in hip arthroscopy. RECENT FINDINGS: Risk factors for HO post-hip arthroscopy include male gender, mixed impingement, picture, and the size of CAM resection. HO prophylaxis with NSAIDs has been proven to decrease the rate of HO post-hip arthroscopy; however, there is inherent risk to long-standing NSAIDs therapy. HO post-hip arthroscopy is not uncommon as a radiological finding, but symptomatic HO post-hip arthroscopy requiring revision surgery is a rare event, at < 1%. The outcomes for revision surgery for HO excision have fair outcomes. The hip arthroscopist should stratify their patients based on known risk factors, and determine whether NSAIDs prophylaxis is warranted.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography for the diagnosis of rotator cuff tears has been a topic of debate for years. The literature shows promising results for the diagnostic utility of ultrasonography for rotator cuff tears. This study assessed the effect of a surgeon-sonographer interaction on the ability of ultrasonography to predict the presence or absence of rotator cuff tears. METHODS: This study was a temporal cohort analysis of 775 patients to detect the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography at predicting a rotator cuff tear. The surgeon-sonographer interaction had three components: (1) presence of an ultrasound machine and ultrasonographer within a shoulder clinic, (2) the ultrasonographer attends shoulder operations, (3) and the ultrasonographer reviews patients preoperatively and postoperatively. Comparisons of 2 variables-presence and size of a tear-were made between the preoperative ultrasonographic findings with arthroscopic findings (gold standard). RESULTS: The diagnostic utility for the detection of rotator cuff tears by ultrasonography at the start of the study was 93% sensitive and 68% specific, and at the end of the study was 99% sensitive and 93% specific. There was an improvement in the correlation of the ability to estimate the size of rotator cuff tears from ultrasonography to surgery in both full- and partial-thickness tears. CONCLUSIONS: The surgeon-sonographer interaction improved the diagnostic utility of an office-based ultrasonographer over time, particularly with respect to the overall accuracy of ultrasonography for the detection of rotator cuff tears and for the ability to predict the size of full- and partial-thickness rotator cuff tears.
