RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Compared to premenopausal women, postmenopausal women are at greater risk of developing NAFLD and NASH, two common indications for liver transplantation (LT). We aim to determine the prevalence of NASH-related cirrhosis in postmenopausal women from a cohort of LT patients and investigate their post-LT complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Chart review of 1200 LT patients from 2002-2020 was performed. Postmenopausal women were defined as women over 51 and compared to a control group of men over 51. Prevalence of LT indications was determined. Subgroup analysis assessed cardiovascular disease risk. BMI and ASCVD risk scores were calculated at the time of LT and after 1 year. RESULTS: 510 patients met the inclusion criteria: 189 (37.1%) women and 321 (62.9%) men. The most common indication was NASH for women (26.5%, p<0.001) and alcohol-related cirrhosis for men (23.1%). 53 men and 46 women underwent subgroup analysis. There was no significant difference in BMI or ASCVD 10-year risk post-LT between sexes. MI occurred more in men (n=9.17%) than women (n=1, 2%, p=0.015), with no significant differences in CAD, CHF, or stroke. LT complications occurred less in men (n=5.9%) than women (n=20, 43%, p=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Postmenopausal women were significantly more likely to have NASH as an indication for LT than men. Postmenopausal women had greater weight gain and more noncardiac complications than men. Women did not have increased cardiovascular outcomes, ASCVD risk, or mortality. Diet education and weight control in postmenopausal women with existing risk factors for NASH should be encouraged to modulate health outcomes.

Purpose: To review short-term functional outcomes in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy and to compare their outcomes to those of a demographically similar cohort who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy (SCOPE) between April 2008 and October 2015. SCOPE patients were included if they were ≥35 years, had preoperative and postoperative 2-year follow-up, and had no prior hip condition or ipsilateral hip surgery. SCOPE patients were matched 1:1 to a demographically similar cohort of patients who underwent THA at our institution. Matching criteria included similar age (within 5 years), gender, and body mass index (within 5). SCOPE patients were assessed with modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), non-arthritic hip score, and visual analogue scale (VAS). THA patients were assessed with mHHS, forgotten joint score, and VAS. Results: Sixty-seven patients were included in each cohort. Patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for management of labral tears achieved nearly equivalent mHHS, Health Survey Short Form (SF-12) Mental, SF-12 Physical, Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12) Mental, VR-12 Physical scores at latest follow-up compared to demographically similar patients who underwent THA. There was no significant difference in mHHS scores (SCOPE = 82.9 ± 16.4 vs THA = 87.3 ± 15, P = .095) between the 2 group groups. In addition, average patient satisfaction on a 10-point scale was 8.1 for the SCOPE cohort and 8.8 for the THA cohort (P = .052). Conclusions: Our results show that hip arthroscopy, when performed in patients with the appropriate indications, can lead to comparably excellent outcomes as total hip arthroplasty with significant pain relief at short term follow-up. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: In women with a previous preterm birth, a protocol for serial cervical length screening has been studied and recommended for the identification and treatment of a short cervix. Cervical length screening along with vaginal progesterone has been suggested for low-risk women with singleton pregnancies to treat a short cervix and reduce preterm birth. However, specific protocols for single vs serial ultrasound measuring cervical length in this population are not established. Cost-effectiveness of universal cervical length screening depends on the cost of screening; follow-up of borderline measurements can contribute to increased costs with uncertain benefit. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the utility of follow-up cervical length screening in otherwise low-risk women with singleton pregnancies with a midtrimester cervical length measurement of 26 to 29 mm through the assessment of the rate of short cervix (≤25 mm) on follow-up ultrasound and subsequent delivery outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: This was a 2-year retrospective cohort study at a single urban institution of women with singleton pregnancies with no previous spontaneous preterm birth and an initial transvaginal ultrasound cervical length measurement of 26 to 29 mm identified during universal cervical length screening at time of anatomy ultrasound (18 0/7 to 22 6/7 weeks' gestation). The primary outcome was the rate of short cervix (defined as ≤25 mm on transvaginal ultrasound) on follow-up ultrasound at <24 weeks' gestation. Secondary outcomes included the rate of spontaneous preterm birth (<37 and <34 weeks' gestation). RESULTS: During the study period, there were 2801 women with singleton pregnancies at 18 0/7 to 22 6/7 weeks' gestation with transvaginal ultrasound cervical length screening at time of anatomy scan. Among those women, 201 had a cervical length of 26 of 29 mm, and 184 (7%) had no previous spontaneous preterm birth and were included in the study. Furthermore, 144 women (78%) had a follow-up cervical length completed before 24 weeks' gestation. The mean follow-up interval was 1.5±0.6 weeks. Overall, the percentage of short cervix (≤25 mm) on follow-up was 15% (n=21). Baseline characteristics were similar, but the initial cervical length measurement was shorter in women who subsequently developed a short cervix (26.7±0.8 vs 27.8±1.0; P<.01). Delivery outcomes were available for 126 patients. The rate of spontaneous preterm birth at <37 weeks' gestation in women with an initial cervical length 26 to 29 mm and subsequent short cervix was significantly higher than the rate of spontaneous preterm birth in a historical cohort of low risk women with an initial cervical length >25 mm (16% vs 3%; P=.03). The rate of spontaneous preterm birth at <34 weeks' gestation in women with a subsequent short cervix was 11% (2 of 19). CONCLUSION: Here, approximately 15% of low-risk women with singleton pregnancies with a midtrimester cervical length measurement of 26 to 29 mm will experience cervical shortening of ≤25 mm before 24 weeks' gestation. Compared to women with singleton pregnancies without a history of preterm birth, the rate of spontaneous preterm birth (16%) in women with an initial cervical length of 26 to 29 mm and a subsequent cervical shortening of ≤25 mm is significantly higher. A total of 111 follow-up ultrasounds measuring cervical length would be required to prevent 1 early preterm birth at <34 weeks' gestation.

INTRODUCTION: Mental health and patient expectation have been identified as key predictors of recovery following THA; however, there is limited literature examining the effects of social support and marital status on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). METHODS: Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent THA between July 2008 and January 2016. Patients were included if they underwent primary THA during this period and if they had documented preoperative marital status of married, divorced, or never married. Married patients were group matched to non-married patients (divorced or never married) with similar sex, age, body mass index (BMI), gender distribution, and frequency of surgical approach. RESULTS: There were 414 married patients and 98 non-married patients who were eligible and had minimum 2-year follow-up. Mean PROs were significantly worse in the non-married group than the married group for the following measures: modified Harris Hip Score (p = 0.002), Harris Hip Score (p = 0.002), Forgotten Joint Score (p = 0.04), and the physical portions of the Veterans RAND (p = 0.025) and Short Form (p = 0.02) surveys. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated inferior absolute PRO scores at latest follow-up for patients who were non-married compared to married following THA. These results show that while total hip replacement may still yield clinical benefit in all patients, non-married patients may ultimately achieve an inferior functional status, and expectations should be adjusted accordingly. Physicians should assess levels of psychosocial support in their patients prior to undergoing hip arthroplasty in order to optimise results.

INTRODUCTION: Similar to other total joint arthroplasty procedures, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is shifting to an outpatient setting. The purpose of this study was to analyse outcomes following outpatient THA. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed in April 2019 according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines using the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify articles that reported functional outcomes following outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA). RESULTS: 9 articles, with 683 hips and a collective study period of 1988 to 2016, were included in this analysis. The mean age across all studies was 58.9 years and the follow-up period ranged from 4 weeks to 10 years. 4 studies reported Harris Hip Scores (HHSs) for their patient populations and in 3 studies, the average HHSs were excellent (>90) by 6 weeks postoperatively. The fourth study reported fair HHS scores for the outpatient and inpatient THA groups (75 ± 18, 75 ± 14, p = 0.77, respectively) at 4 weeks postoperatively. VAS scores improved significantly in two studies and NRS at rest and during activity improved significantly (p < 0.001) in a separate study. Overall, 88.1% of the enrolled patients were discharged the same day of surgery, as expected. Out of the 6 studies reporting on readmissions rate, there were two (0.34%) readmissions within 3 months of surgery. CONCLUSION: In patients with no significant comorbidities, outpatient THA leads to favourable outcomes as well as low readmission rates in the short term.

PURPOSE: To quantify the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic's impact on public interest in sports medicine and surgery topics. METHODS: The Google Trends analysis tool (Google Search Volume Indices [GSVI]) was used to collect search information regarding orthopaedic sports medicine terms ("ACL," "meniscus," "rotator cuff") and sports surgery terms ("ACL surgery," "meniscus surgery," "rotator cuff surgery") from May 2015 to May 2020. A time series analysis was performed for these GSVIs and compared to the timing of the pandemic. RESULTS: Interest in both sports medicine and surgery declined following the COVID-19 outbreak. Following the World Health Organization's statement on COVID-19's pandemic status on March 11, 2020, searches for "ACL," "meniscus" and "rotator cuff" declined by 34.78%, 43.95%, and 31.37%, and search for "ACL surgery," "meniscus surgery" and "rotator cuff surgery" declined by 42.70%, 51.88%, and 53.32%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 outbreak correlated with a decline in public interest in sports medicine and sports surgery topics, as measured by Google searches. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Orthopaedic sports medicine and arthroscopy patient and surgical case volumes were negatively affected by various factors after the onset of the pandemic. One factor associated with the volume decrease is a decline in public interest.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review comparing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with labral repair versus labral reconstruction in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and labral tears. METHODS: A systematic review of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed in May 2020 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and checklist. Articles were included in the analysis if they compared PROs between a labral repair and labral reconstruction cohort. For all PROs, the standardised mean difference (SMD) was calculated to compare the effect size of labral repair and labral reconstruction. RESULTS: 10 comparative studies, with 582 reconstruction cases and 631 repair cases, were included in this analysis. The mean age for the reconstruction and the repair groups ranged from 27.0 years to 52.6 years and 27.5 years to 47.0 years, respectively. The mean follow-up for the reconstruction and the repair groups ranged from 24.0 months to 66.0 months and 24.0 months to 71.0 months, respectively. The modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS) was favourable in 8 reconstruction studies (range 80.4-95.0) and 9 repair studies (range 84.1-93.0). Average NAHS scores for the repair and reconstruction cohorts ranged from 77.9-88.6 and 73.9-92.4, respectively. Additionally, the effect sizes regarding NAHS and mHHS scores were large (SMD > 0.8) in both the reconstruction and repair groups for the majority of studies. Finally, reconstruction patients underwent a subsequent total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a slightly higher rate. CONCLUSIONS: In the setting of FAIS and labral tears, patients who underwent hip arthroscopy may expect significant improvement in PROs at short-term follow-up with either labral repair or labral reconstruction. Although, not statistically significant, the repair group trended towards higher scores and exhibited a lower risk of conversion to THA.

BACKGROUND: Although hip arthroscopy has been shown to have favorable results, there is a paucity of literature describing predictive factors of 5-year clinical outcomes. PURPOSE: To identify predictive factors of midterm outcomes after hip arthroscopy in a cohort of 1038 patients whose outcomes at minimum 2-year follow-up were previously reported. In addition, to provide a comparison of short- and midterm predictive factors in outcome measures after hip arthroscopy. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed on all patients undergoing hip arthroscopy between February 2008 and June 2012. Patients were included if they had minimum 5-year follow-up on 2 patient-reported outcomes: Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) and modified Harris Hip Score. Patients were excluded if they had any previous ipsilateral hip conditions. Using bivariate and multivariate analyses, we analyzed the effect of 36 pre- and intraoperative variables on the NAHS, modified Harris Hip Score, and conversion to total hip arthroplasty. RESULTS: A total of 1038 patients met the inclusion criteria for the 2-year study, and 860 met our listed inclusion criteria for the 5-year study. The mean follow-up time was 62.0 months (range, 60.0-120.0 months). The bivariate analysis identified 10 variables (4 categorical and 6 continuous) that were predictive of 5-year postoperative NAHS. For the multivariate analysis, 7 variables were identified as being significant: preoperative NAHS, body mass index (BMI), age, lateral joint space, alpha angle, revision hip arthroscopy, and acetabular microfracture. These 7 variables were also predictive in the bivariate analysis. Age, BMI, revision hip arthroscopy, Tönnis grade, sex, trochanteric bursectomy, femoral head cartilage damage, and acetabular inclination were significant predictors of conversion to total hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION: This study reports favorable midterm clinical outcomes in the largest cohort of hip arthroscopies with minimum 5-year follow-up in the literature to date. Seven variables were identified as being significant predictors of postoperative NAHS in the bivariate and multivariate analyses: preoperative NAHS, BMI, age, lateral joint space, alpha angle, revision hip arthroscopy, and acetabular microfracture. Of these, preoperative NAHS, BMI, age, and revision hip arthroscopy were predictive of 2- and 5-year postoperative NAHS. These predictive factors may prove useful to clinicians in determining indications for hip arthroscopy and counseling patients on its expected outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The transition to outpatient-based surgery is a major development occurring in recent years in the field of total hip arthroplasty (THA). The effect of this transition on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is still not well established. The purpose of the current study was to compare patients undergoing inpatient THA (iTHA) to patients undergoing outpatient THA (oTHA) regarding (1) perioperative variables including surgical time, blood loss, and length of stay (2) 90-day complication rates and unplanned emergency room or office visits (3) 2-year PROs including modified Harris hip score (mHHS), Harris hip score (HHS), forgotten joint score (FJS), pain, and satisfaction, as well as the quality of live measures. METHODS: The American Hip Institute registry was analyzed for patients undergoing THA between July 2014 and April 2016. The first 100 patients undergoing oTHA were selected and matched to 100 patients undergoing iTHA via propensity matching based on the following variables: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and smoking status. The primary outcomes were PROs at 2 years post-operatively. The secondary outcomes were perioperative surgical variables, 90-day complication rates, and unplanned emergency and clinic visits. RESULTS: After exclusions, 91 patients remained in each group and were compared. The oTHA group showed improved 2-year PROs with regard to mHHS (91.5 vs. 86.2; P = 0.02), HHS (92.3 vs. 87.4; P = 0.02), and pain (1.0 vs. 1.5; P = 0.04). The oTHA group had an average length of stay of 6.8 h compared to 43.2 h for the iTHA group (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the groups regarding readmissions, emergency room visits, and unplanned clinic visits. Complications and revision rates were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: In appropriately selected, younger patients, oTHA can achieve improved postoperative 2-year PROs compared to iTHA. We found no differences regarding postoperative short-term complications or 2-year revision rates, and no differences in unplanned office visits or readmissions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic level 3.

The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the effect of decreased, restored, or increased femoral offset on patient reported outcomes (PROs) following hip arthroplasty. Databases were searched according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. With regard to Harris Hip Score, two studies reported superior outcomes for the increased femoral offset group, one study reported superior outcomes for a restored offset group, and the final study reported favorable outcomes for the decreased offset group. Patients with restored offset following arthroplasty may demonstrate superior PROs.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Hip arthroscopic surgery in patients with borderline dysplasia continues to be controversial. In addition, it has been suggested that ligamentum teres (LT) tears may lead to inferior short-term patient-reported outcomes (PROs) when compared with a match-controlled group. PURPOSES: (1) To report minimum 5-year PROs in patients with borderline dysplasia and LT tears who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery and (2) to compare these PROs to those of a matched-pair control group of patients with borderline dysplastic hips without LT tears. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Data were prospectively collected for patients who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery between September 2008 and August 2013. Patients were included if they had a preoperative diagnosis of borderline dysplasia (lateral center-edge angle [LCEA], 18°-25°) and had preoperative and minimum 5-year postoperative modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain scores. Exclusion criteria were osteoarthritis of Tönnis grade >1, previous hip conditions, any previous ipsilateral hip surgery, or workers' compensation status. There were 2 borderline dysplastic groups created. An LT tear group was matched 1:1 to a control group (no LT tear) with similar age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and laterality via propensity score matching. Significance was set at P < .05. RESULTS: A total of 24 patients with an LT tear (24 hips) were matched to 24 patients without an LT tear (24 hips). There was no significant difference in age, sex, BMI, or laterality between groups. The mean age was 36.2 ± 17.2 and 34.9 ± 15.9 years for the control and LT tear groups, respectively (P = .783). There were 17 (70.8%) and 16 (66.7%) female patients in the control and LT tear groups, respectively, and the mean preoperative LCEA was 23.3° and 22.2° in the control and LT tear groups, respectively. No differences were observed between groups in baseline PROs, intraoperative findings, or surgical procedures. LT debridement was performed in 17 (70.8%) patients in the LT tear group compared with 0 (0.0%) in the control group. Also, 5-year postoperative PROs were comparable in both groups, with the control group exhibiting superior Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) mental (P = .041) and Short Form-12 (SF-12) mental (P = .042) scores. Finally, hips with an intact LT were significantly more likely (P = .022) to achieve the patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for the mHHS (100.0% and 75.0%, respectively). No significant differences were present between the groups for the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the mHHS (P = .140), MCID of the Hip Outcome Score-Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS) (P = .550), or PASS of the HOS-SSS (P = .390). CONCLUSION: After hip arthroscopic surgery, patients with borderline dysplasia and LT tears demonstrated favorable PROs at a minimum 5-year follow-up. Outcomes were similar to a matched-pair control group without LT tears, with the group with intact LTs showing higher VR-12 mental and SF-12 mental scores. Furthermore, patients with borderline dysplasia and intact LTs were significantly more likely to achieve the PASS for the mHHS.

BACKGROUND: Labral reconstruction has been advocated as an alternative to debridement for the treatment of irreparable labral tears, showing favorable short-term results. However, literature is scarce regarding outcomes and return to sport in the nonelite athletic population. PURPOSE: To report minimum 1-year clinical outcomes and the rate of return to sport in athletic patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with labral reconstruction in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and irreparable labral tears. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed for patients who underwent an arthroscopic labral reconstruction between August 2012 and December 2017. Patients were included if they identified as an athlete (high school, college, recreational, or amateur); had follow-up on the following patient-reported outcomes (PROs): modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score-Sport Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), and visual analog scale (VAS); and completed a return-to-sport survey at 1 year postoperatively. Patients were excluded if they underwent any previous ipsilateral hip surgery, had dysplasia, or had prior hip conditions. The proportions of patients who achieved the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for mHHS and HOS-SSS were calculated. Statistical significance was set at P = .05. RESULTS: There were 32 (14 females) athletes who underwent primary arthroscopic labral reconstruction during the study period. The mean age and body mass index of the group were 40.3 years (range, 15.5-58.7 years) and 27.9 kg/m2 (range, 19.6-40.1 kg/m2), respectively. The mean follow-up was 26.4 months (range, 12-64.2 months). All patients demonstrated significant improvement in mHHS, NAHS, HOS-SSS, and VAS (P < .001) at latest follow-up. Additionally, 84.4% achieved MCID and 81.3% achieved PASS for mHHS, and 87.5% achieved MCID and 75% achieved PASS for HOS-SSS. VAS pain scores decreased from 4.4 to 1.8, and the satisfaction with surgery was 7.9 out of 10. The rate of return to sport was 78%. CONCLUSION: At minimum 1-year follow-up, primary arthroscopic labral reconstruction, in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and irreparable labral tears, was associated with significant improvement in PROs in athletic populations. Return to sport within 1 year of surgery was 78%.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To compare a single surgeon's first 200 cases of hip arthroscopy with the last 200 cases regarding patient demographic characteristics, indications for surgery, intraoperative findings, procedures performed, and patient-reported outcomes. METHODS: Data were reviewed for all patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy between February 2008 and August 2016 performed by a single surgeon. Of the 3,319 patients who underwent hip-preservation surgery during the study period, the first 200 (group A) and last 200 (group B) eligible for minimum 2-year follow-up were included in our analysis. RESULTS: Follow-up was available for 187 of 200 patients (93.5%) and 189 of 200 patients (94.5%) in groups A and B, respectively. The groups were similar in age, sex, and body mass index (P > .05). Group A included significantly more patients with Tönnis grade 1 (37% vs 21%, P < .001). Group B consisted of significantly more (P < .001) labral reconstructions (10.2% vs 0%), capsular closures (72.7% vs 26.2%), and gluteus medius repairs (18.2% vs 3.2%). Femoroplasty was performed for smaller cam lesions in group B, resulting in smaller postoperative alpha angles (45.7° ± 7.9° vs 42.4° ± 6.3°, P < .001). Group B exhibited significantly higher patient-reported outcomes at minimum 2-year follow-up (P < .05). In addition, in group B, greater proportions of patients achieved the minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptomatic state (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the noteworthy evolution in the management of the prearthritic adult hip occurring between 2008 and 2016. This includes improvements in preoperative patient evaluation and patient selection. In addition, the proportion of patients undergoing labral reconstruction, capsular plication, and femoroplasty has increased significantly. These developments, as well as increased surgical experience, may have contributed to improved surgical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative trial.

BACKGROUND: Labral tears are the most common abnormalities in patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery. Appropriate management is crucial, as it has been shown that better overall outcomes can be achieved with labral restoration. PURPOSE: To report the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at minimum 2-year follow-up of patients who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery for labral tear repair using the knotless controlled-tension anatomic technique in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Data were prospectively collected for patients who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS for labral tear repair using the knotless controlled-tension anatomic technique. Patients were excluded if they had prior hip conditions, prior ipsilateral surgery, Tönnis grade >1, a lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) <25°, or workers' compensation claims. Preoperative and postoperative scores at minimum 2-year follow-up were recorded for the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score-Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. The proportion of patients who achieved the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) or patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for the mHHS, HOS-SSS, and iHOT-12 were also reported. RESULTS: A total of 309 hips were included. The mean patient age was 36.2 years (range, 12.8-75.9 years). The mean preoperative LCEA and alpha angle were 31.9° and 57.1°, respectively. A significant improvement on the mHHS (62.6 ± 15.7 preoperatively vs 86.9 ± 16.2 at 2-year follow-up), NAHS (63.1 ± 16.7 vs 86.1 ± 16.7), and HOS-SSS (39.8 ± 22.0 vs 74.2 ± 27.3) was found (P < .001 for all). A significant decrease was shown for VAS scores (P < .001). Also, 78.6% and 82.2% of patients achieved the MCID and PASS for the mHHS, respectively; 60.8% and 69.9% of patients met the MCID and PASS for the HOS-SSS, respectively; and the MCID for the iHOT-12 was met by 77.3% of patients. CONCLUSION: In the setting of FAIS and labral tears, patients who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery for labral tear repair using the knotless controlled-tension anatomic technique demonstrated significant improvement in several validated PRO measures, the VAS pain score, and patient satisfaction at a minimum 2 years of follow-up. Based on this evidence, labral tear repair using the knotless controlled-tension anatomic technique seems to be a safe option.
RESUMEN
Overlapping symptoms between hip and lumbar spine pathologies complicate diagnoses and treatments. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of guided intra-articular hip injection in identifying the pain source in hip-spine syndrome. A search of PubMed and Cochrane databases yielded 9 studies. The mean values for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of guided intra-articular hip injection were 93.6%, 95.0%, 98.8%, and 86.3%, respectively. Thus, in hip-spine syndrome, when a pain source cannot be elucidated, an ultrasound- or fluoroscopic-guided intra-articular hip injection may be a powerful and reliable diagnostic tool.

BACKGROUND: There is a plethora of literature on outcomes after hip arthroscopic surgery in the adult population; however, outcomes in the adolescent population have not been as widely reported. Additionally, as adolescents represent a very active population, it is imperative to understand their athletic activity and return to sport after hip arthroscopic surgery. PURPOSE: To analyze patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after hip arthroscopic surgery in adolescents (aged 10-19 years) and present a return-to-sport analysis in the athletic adolescent subgroup. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines to identify articles that reported PROs after hip arthroscopic surgery in adolescents. The standardized mean difference was calculated to compare the effect size of hip arthroscopic surgery on various PROs. For the athletic subgroup, a return-to-sport summary was also provided. RESULTS: Ten studies, with 618 adolescent hips and a collective study period of December 2004 to February 2015, were included in this systematic review. Across all studies, the mean age was 15.8 years (range, 11.0-19.9 years), and female patients composed approximately 56.7% of the entire cohort. The mean follow-up was 34.5 months (range, 12-120 months). The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) was reported in 9 studies, and at latest follow-up, scores were excellent in 4 studies (range, 90-95) and good in the remaining 5 studies (range, 82.1-89.6). All adolescents also showed significant improvement on the Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), the Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), the HOS-Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), the physical component of the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12P), a visual analog scale for pain (VAS), and both versions of the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12 and iHOT-33) at latest follow-up (P < .05). Further, mean improvements reported in all studies surpassed reported values of the minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptomatic state for the mHHS, HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS, and iHOT-33. Finally, the collective return-to-sport rate among athletic adolescents was 84.9%. CONCLUSION: In the setting of labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement, hip arthroscopic surgery can safely be performed in adolescents and leads to significant functional improvement. Furthermore, athletic adolescents return to sport at high levels after hip arthroscopic surgery.

Over the past decade, understanding of disorders compromising greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) has increased dramatically. Nonsurgical treatment options include physical rehabilitation and activity modification, anti-inflammatory as well as biologic injections into the peritrochanteric compartment, and administration of oral analgesics. Multiple open and endoscopic treatment options exist when nonsurgical management is unsuccessful in patients with refractory lateral-sided hip pain, with or without weakness. No true consensus exists within the literature regarding operative techniques of GTPS or postoperative rehabilitation protocols. We present an endoscopic classification system of GTPS with 5 distinct types, which seems to correlate well with preoperative diagnoses and postoperative rehabilitation protocols. The classification system is intuitive, and the corresponding surgical techniques are reproducible for surgeons treating peritrochanteric pathology. Level of Evidence: I (hip); II (extra-articular, impingement).
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Nonoperative and operative management of iliopsoas impingement (IPI) is commonly performed following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this systematic review is to compare patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following conservative treatment, iliopsoas (IP) tenotomy, and revision arthroplasty in patients presenting with IPI after THA. METHODS: The PubMed and Embase databases were searched for articles regarding IPI following THA. Studies were included if (1) IPI after THA was treated with conservative management, an IP tenotomy, or acetabular component revision and (2) included PROs. RESULTS: Eleven articles were selected for review and there were 280 hips treated for IPI following THA. Harris Hip Scores reported for the conservative group, the IP tenotomy group, and the cup revision group were 59.0 preoperatively to 77.8, 58.0 preoperatively to 85.4, and 58.1 preoperatively to 82.4 at latest follow-up, respectively. The IP tenotomy cohort also demonstrated superior postoperative functional outcomes using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index, Medical Research Council score, Oxford Hip Score, and Merle d'Aubigné-Postel Pain Score. Patients who had a revision exhibited higher Oxford Hip Scores, higher Medical Research Council scores, and lower Visual Analog Scale Pain scores postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Management of IPI following THA includes nonoperative measures, IP tenotomy, or acetabular component revision. Patients have been shown to experience favorable PROs at latest follow-up, with an apparent advantage for surgical treatment. Compared to revision arthroplasty, IP tenotomy resulted in a lower overall rate of complications with less severe complication types. Therefore, IP tenotomy should be considered as a second line of treatment for patients who failed conservative measures. Revision arthroplasty should be reserved for recalcitrant cases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
