RÉSUMÉ
Purpose: The aim of the present systematic review was to quantitatively synthesize the best literature evidence regarding osteoarthritis developing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), including only studies with a follow-up duration of at least 20 years. Material and Methods: A systematic review was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines on four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE and Cochrane Library). The outcome measures extracted from the studies were failure rate, subsequent knee surgery on the same knee, radiographic development of osteoarthritis measured with Kellgren-Lawrence, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) radiographic score and Ahlbäck classification. The health of both the ACLR knee and the contralateral knee was compared. Results: A total of 1552 patients were included in the study, of which 1290 (83.11%) were operated on using a patellar tendon graft, 190 (12.24%) with hamstrings, 27 (1.73%) with an iliotibial band and 45 (2.89%) with patellar tendon plus a ligament augmentation device (LAD). The mean age at the time of surgery was 25.18 ± 1.91 years, and the mean follow-up time was 23.34 ± 2.56 years. Analysing IDKC Score at final follow-up, ACLR Group showed a higher degree of OA compared with contralateral healthy knee (p < 0.01), but only 33.2% (324/976) of the patients showed a moderate to severe degree (Grade C or D) of osteoarthritis, while for Kellgren-Lawrence, ACLR Group showed a higher degree of OA compared with contralateral healthy knee (p < 0.01), but only 28.9% (196/678) of the patients showed a moderate to severe degree (Grade III or IV) of osteoarthritis. In total, 1552 patients were registered, 155 reruptures (9.98%) and a total of 300 (19.3%) new surgeries, of which 228 meniscectomy (14.69%), 21 (1.35%) knee arthroplasty and 17 (1.09%) hardware removal were recorded. Conclusions: ACL reconstruction appears to result in mild osteoarthritis in the long term in most of the patients and only less than 33.2% develop a moderate to severe degree of knee OA according to IKDC radiographic score. A slight degree of osteoarthritis appears to be present in ACLR knees compared with contralateral healthy knees. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
RÉSUMÉ
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the validity and informational value of TikTok content about epicondylitis. The hypothesis tested herein was that TikTok video content would not provide adequate and valid information. METHODS: The term "epicondylitis" was used as a keyword to comprehensively search for TikTok videos, and the first 100 videos that were retrieved were subsequently included for analysis. The duration, number of likes, number of shares and number of views were recorded for each video. Furthermore, the videos were categorized on the basis of their source (medical doctor, physiotherapist, or private user), type of information (physical therapy, anatomy, clinical examination, etiopathogenesis, patient experience, treatment, or other), video content (rehabilitation, education, or patient experience/testimony), and the presence of music or voice. Assessments of video content quality and reliability were conducted using the DISCERN tool, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, and the Global Quality Score (GQS). RESULTS: A total of 100 videos were included in the analysis: 78 (78.0%) were published by physiotherapists, 18 were published by medical doctors (18.0%), and 4 were published by private users (4.0%). Most of the information pertained to physical therapy (75; 75.0%) and most of the content was about rehabilitation (75; 75.0%). The mean length of the videos was 42.51 ± 24.75 seconds; the mean number of views was 193,207.78 ± 1,300,853.86; and the mean number of comments, likes, and shares were 22.43 ± 62.54, 1578.52 ± 8333.11, and 149.87 ± 577.73, respectively. The mean DISCERN score, JAMA score, and GQS were 18.12 ± 5.73, 0.80 ± 0.53, and 1.30 ± 0.52, respectively. Videos posted by medical doctors/private users had higher scores (p < 0.05) than videos posted by physiotherapists. Videos that focused on education or patient experience had higher scores (p < 0.05) than videos based on rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS: TikTok can be an unreliable source of information regarding epicondylitis treatment. It is common to find nonphysicians who share medical advice on the platform, with medical treatments demonstrating the weakest level of supporting evidence. Elbow surgeons should advise their patients that treatment recommendations from TikTok may not align with established guidelines. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV-Cross-sectional study.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this meta-analysis of comparative studies was to update the current evidence on functional and radiographic outcomes and complications between medial and lateral approaches for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for valgus knee deformity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central databases were used to search keywords and a total of ten studies were included. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed. Data extracted for quantitative analysis included the Knee Society score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), surgical time, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), and number and types of complications. Random- and fixed-effect models were used for the meta-analysis of pooled mean differences (MDs) and odds ratios (ORs). The Mantel-Haenszel method was adopted. RESULTS: A total of 1008 patients were identified, of whom 689 and 319 underwent TKA for valgus knee deformity with lateral and medial approach, respectively. The mean age was 70 ± 9.5 and 67.3 ± 9.6 years for the lateral and medial approaches, respectively. The mean follow-up was 37.8 ± 21.9 and 45.9 ± 26.7 months for the lateral and medial approach groups, respectively. Significantly higher functional outcomes were found for the medial approach, as measured by the postoperative KSS (MD = 1.8, 95% CI [0.48, 3.12], P = 0.007) and flexion ROM (MD = 3.12, 95% CI [0.45, 5.79], P = 0.02). However, both of these differences were lower than the minimal clinically important difference. Comparable surgical time and postoperative HKA angle values (MD = 0.22, 95% CI [- 0.30, 0.75], P = 0.40) between the two surgical approaches were found. The incidence of periprosthetic joint infections, fractures, transient peroneal nerve injuries, and deep vein thrombosis was comparable. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis of comparative studies showed that when lateral and medial approaches are used for total knee arthroplasty for valgus knee deformity, comparable functional outcomes in terms of the KSS and ROM, surgical time, and postoperative hip-knee-ankle angle values can be expected. Similar rates of periprosthetic joint infection, fracture, and peroneal nerve injury were also found. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: I. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER ID: CRD42023392807.

INTRODUCTION: The role of the subscapularis (Ssc) tendon does not yet have a well-defined role in RSA. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate if the repair of the Ssc in RSA improves overall clinical and radiographic results and if it has the same results using a medialized design humeral stem compared to a lateralized design. METHODS: Eighty-four consecutive patients undergoing RSA were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were lost at FU. Two implants with similar glenosphere design and different stem design (medialized and lateralized) were used. The Ssc was repaired in case of good quality of the fibers and reducibility without tension intraoperatively. Patients were divided into four groups for data analysis depending on whether they had received a medialized or lateralized design and Ssc repair or not. Patients were reviewed at an average follow-up of 40.8 ± 13.1 months. Clinical outcome measures included Active range of motion (ROM), strength, visual analog scale (VAS), Constant-Murley score (CMS), and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES). Radiographic evaluation at final follow-up was performed to assess scapular notching, stress shielding, and radiolucent lines. RESULTS: No statistically significant clinical differences (p > 0.05) emerged between Lat/Ssc+ and Lat/Ssc-. Conversely, the patients belonging to the Med/Ssc- group reported statistically worse (p < 0.05) results than the Med/Ssc + group in terms of VAS, ASES and CMS. Statistically worse (p < .05) results in the Med/Ssc- group than in the Med/Ssc + were found also in active ROM achieved in FE, ABD, ER1 and ER2, and in the strength obtained in FE, ABD and ER2. Scapular notching was reported in 3 shoulders (15.7%) in Lat/Ssc+ group and in 7 shoulders (50%) in Lat/Ssc- group, while it was reported in 4 shoulders (14.2%) in Med/Ssc + group and in 6 shoulders (42.8%) in Med/Ssc- group. Stress shielding was observed in 6 cases in Lat/Ssc+ group (31.6%), in 8 cases in Lat/Ssc- group (57.1%), in 3 cases (10.7%) in Med/Ssc + group and 4 cases in Med/Ssc- group (28.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing RSA show clinical improvements at mid-term follow-up with a low rate of complications, regardless of the use of a medialized or a lateralized humeral stem design. Ssc repair is associated with better functional outcomes in the cohort of medialized stem, while it did not yield significant differences in the cohort of lateralized stem.

PURPOSE: Implantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a potential cell-based modality for cartilage repair. Currently, its clinical use largely surrounds focal cartilage defect repair and intra-articular injections in knee osteoarthritis. The MSCs' implantation efficacy as a treatment option for osteoarthritis remains contentious. This systematic review aims to evaluate studies that focused on MSCs implantation in patients with knee OA to provide a summary of this treatment option outcomes. METHODS: A systematic search was performed in PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Cinahl, and the Cochrane Library. Original studies investigating outcomes of MSCs implantations in patients with knee OA were included. Data on clinical outcomes using subjective scores, radiological outcomes, and second-look arthroscopy gradings were extracted. RESULTS: Nine studies were included in this review. In all included studies, clinical outcome scores revealed significantly improved functionality and better postoperative pain scores at 2-3 years follow-up. Improved cartilage volume and quality at the lesion site was observed in five studies that included a postoperative magnetic resonance imaging assessment and studies that performed second-look arthroscopy. No major complications or tumorigenesis occurred. Outcomes were consistent in both single MSCs implantation and concurrent HTO with MSCs implantation in cases with excessive varus deformity. CONCLUSION: According to the available literature, MSCs implantation in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis is safe and provides short-term clinical improvement and satisfactory cartilage restoration, either as a standalone procedure or combined with HTO in cases with axial deformity. However, the evidence is limited due to the high heterogeneity among studies and the insufficient number of studies including a control group and mid-term outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

Introduction: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in a single surgical stage through a systematic review of the currently available evidence. Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, with no publication date limit, until December 2022 was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Follow-up studies and case series published in English involving patients undergoing a combination of ACLR and MAT were included. The quality of these studies was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) checklist. A systematic review of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Lysholm and Tegner activity scores was conducted. Results: Seven studies involving 154 patients were included. The mean follow-up was 5,3 years. The mean age at the time of the surgery was of 35.3 years. All studies used the Lysholm Knee score, IKDC score or Tegner activity score to measure clinical outcomes post-operatively and the mean improvements were 26.7, 24.7, and 1.8 respectively. The rate to return to sport was 75.5 %. No intra-operative complications were reported. The post-operative complication rate was 11.6%. Conclusions: MAT combined with ACLR procedure showed good clinical results up to an average of 5 years of follow-up. More studies need to be conducted that can better understand the long-term effects of this combined procedure.
RÉSUMÉ
PURPOSE: This international survey aimed to evaluate the potential controversies regarding the management of first patellar dislocation amongst experienced knee surgeries in the treatment of the first episode of patellar dislocation without osteochondral fragments. METHODS: An online survey was conducted from February 2021 to December 2021 to assess the global trend in the diagnosis and management of first-time patellar dislocation without osteochondral fragments. The online survey was accessible on the homepage of the website of the European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA). The questionnaire consisted of multiple-choice questions and was divided into three sections. The first section consisted of eight questions regarding demographic information, professional activity, and responder experience. The second section consisted of 13 questions regarding the approach to a first patellar dislocation (clinical examination, imaging, and rehabilitation). The third section contained 2 questions concerning the relevance of patient characteristics to the therapeutic algorithm (age, sports, and pathoanatomical predisposing risk factors). RESULTS: A total of 438 orthopaedic surgeons worldwide completed the questionnaire. At the first approach to diagnose a first-time patellar dislocation, 251 (57%) of the surgeons requested plain radiographs, and 158 (36%) requested magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In conservatively treated patients, 368 (84%) of the respondents recommended the use of a knee brace. Amongst them, 14 (3%) advocated its use for one week, 75 (17%) for two weeks, 123 (28%) for three weeks, 105 (24%) for four weeks, and 97 (22%) for six weeks. In conservatively treated patients, 215 (49%) of the surgeons recommended load to tolerance, 148 (34%) recommended 30% to 60% of the bodyweight, and 75 (17%) advised against weight-bearing. More than half of the surgeons considered a patient aged less than 35 years practising contact sports to be a candidate for the medial patello-femoral ligament (MPFL) procedure. In addition, a tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) distance of 15 to > 20 mm (for > 75% of the surgeons) and a trochlea types C and D (for > 70% of the surgeons) were considered possible indications for direct surgical management. CONCLUSION: At the first approach to diagnose a first-time patellar dislocation, plain radiographs and MRI should be performed. In conservatively treated patients, most of the surgeons recommend weight-bearing to tolerance and a knee brace during the first four weeks, with range of motion of full extension to 30° during the first 15 days and up to 60° for an additional 15 days. Surgical management should be performed in patients in the second and third decades of life practising contact sports and in those patients who present types C and D trochlea dysplasia and patella alta.

BACKGROUND: The purpose in the present study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of patients who had undergone a mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with either titanium niobium nitride (TiNbN) alloy implants or with fixed-bearing oxidized zirconium alloy implants. METHODS: The records of two consecutive cohorts for a total of 86 hypoallergenic implants were prospectively analyzed. The first cohort consisted of 49 consecutive implantations of the hypoallergenic UKA Journey Uni Oxinium (Ox Group), while the second consisted of 37 consecutive series of UKA Oxford (TiNbN Group). All patients were evaluated by two independent surgeons who were not involved in the index surgery. The clinical evaluation consisted of evaluating each patient's Oxford Knee Score and Knee Society Score day before surgery (T0), and with two consecutive follow-ups at T1 (minimum follow-up 9 months) and T2 (minimum follow-up 24 months). RESULTS: The two groups were homogeneous in all preoperative values, except Body Mass Index (BMI) and duration of final follow-up [both statistically higher (p < 0.05) in the TiNbN group]. Both groups showed a clinically significant improvement for all scores at final follow-up (p < 0.05). The only differences between the two groups involved a higher pre-operative Oxford Score in TiNbN group (p = 0.031), and different tibial and femoral angles at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Both TiNbN and Oxinium UKA procedures enabled patients from good to excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes after the final follow-up, regardless of the age, gender, BMI bearing type, and implant size. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: LEVEL II: Comparative study.

Infection is one of the most catastrophic complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and represents the second most common cause of TKA failure. Treatment of a patient with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) could require often costly and prolonged hospital stays, weeks or months of antibiotic therapy, and multiple surgical procedures. The best management is still highly debating, whereas many treatment options are available. These include suppressive antibiotics, arthroscopic irrigation and debridement, open debridement with insert exchange, single-stage reimplantation and two-stage reimplantation. The choice of the treatment depends on many variables, including integrity of implant, timing of the infection, host factors (age, health, immunologic status), virulence of the infecting organism and wishes of the patient. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive understaning of the different options for knee PJIs.
RÉSUMÉ
The purpose of this study was to determine the 50 most cited articles on shoulder arthroplasty (SA) and their characteristics. The Thomson ISIWeb of Science was searched with the following search terms: "shoulder arthroplasty", "shoulder replacement", "shoulder prosthesis" and "shoulder implant". All papers dealing with SA, including its perioperative and postoperative management, were included in this study. Citations ranged from 797 to 52 for the 50 highest cited papers on SA. According to absolute numbers, the top 10 papers were cited at least 118 times. Overall, 78% (n = 43) were clinical and the remaining articles were basic science research (one anatomic, six biomechanical). The most prevalent level of evidence was IV (72%). The Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery published 40% of the studies. The majority of studies were conducted in the United States and eight other countries. The publication years of the most-cited articles ranged from 1991 to 2020, with the 2000s accounting for the most articles (96%) and the period from 2006 to 2010 with the absolute largest number of articles (17). This article provides a building block in the SA surgery.
RÉSUMÉ
Introduction: Grown in the worldwide population of over 50 of age individuals who remain in good health and continue to engage in sports has led to an increase of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in this aged population. ACL reconstruction was reserved for young and active athletes, but seems to produce good outcomes also in over 50s. Purpose: To compare the patient-reported functional scores, arthrometric outcomes, and complications of primary ACL reconstruction between older (>50 years) and younger (<50 years) patients. Methods: A systematic review was performed on Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar and Cochrane library regarding studies that compared the clinical outcomes of ACLR between patients aged > 50 years and those aged < 50 years. The outcomes evaluated were knee functional outcomes, antero-posterior laxity and complications rate. Results: This study included 5 retrospective cohort studies with a total of 645 patients (357 in the older 50 group and 288 in the younger group). All included studies reported significant improvements in clinical outcomes in both groups after ACL reconstruction. No significant differences were noted in terms of International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Lysholm, Tegner scores and anteroposterior instability between the two groups (p = n.s.). Over 50 cohort seem to have an increased risk for complication rate when compared with the younger cohort (p= 0.0005). Conclusion: ACL reconstruction in patients older than 50 years is a safe procedure with good results that are comparable to those of younger patients. Study design: Systematic review and meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 3.
RÉSUMÉ
Introduction: Distal femur osteotomies (DFOs) are well-accepted procedures in treating unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis associated with valgus malalignment. This study aims to investigate the Return to sport (RTS) after DFO. Materials and methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature according to the PRISMA guidelines, including all articles published in English, with no time limit, excluding double-level knee osteotomies. Results: Five articles were included for an overall cohort of 76 patients. The mean follow-up was 45.53 months. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 33.87 years, and the mean malalignment was 5.59° in valgus. In 70 cases, patients received a lateral DFO, while in 6 cases, a medial closing-wedge DFO. An RTS of 86.1% was observed after DFO and a mean time to RTS of 12.3 months. 76.8% of patients recovered to a level equal to or higher than that practiced before the onset of symptoms. No statistically significant differences were observed in the RTS rate between those who performed lateral or medial DFO. Conclusions: RTS after DFO is ubiquitous and occurs around one year after surgery. In most cases, patients report improved performance compared to what they experienced before the onset of symptoms. Unfortunately, while athletes often have RTS at a similar or better level, other patients often see a return to lower impact sports.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: The present study aims to compare the rate of return to sports in patients who underwent surgery for mobile-bearing UKA with either hypoallergenic TiNbN or with oxidized zirconium alloy implants. METHODS: The records of two consecutive cohorts for a total of 90 hypoallergenic implants were prospectively analysed. The first cohort consisted of 41 consecutive series of medial mobile-bearing hypoallergenic TiNbN UKA, whereas the second cohort consisted of 49 consecutive medial fixed-bearing hypoallergenic Uni Oxinium.The clinical evaluation involved evaluating each patient's University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scoresand the High-Activity Arthroplasty Score(HAAS). Each patient was clinically evaluated on the day before surgery (T0), then after a minimum follow-up period of 12 months (T1), and finally after 24 months (T2). Results:The only pre-operative difference between the two groups involved pre-operative BMI with significantly higher BMI in TiNbN Group (p<0.001). Both groups reported significant improvement at each follow-up compared with the previous and also at the final follow up with respect to UCLA and HAAS (p<0.05), except for UCLA in TiNbN between T1 and T2(p>0.05). Moreover, BMI improved significantly at the final follow up, but only in TiNbN group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Both TiNbN and Oxinium UKA procedures enabled patients to return to an acceptable level of sports activity with excellent radiographic outcomes after the final follow up regardless of the age, gender, BMI, and bearing type.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare the functional outcomes and osteoarthritis (OA) progression after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with either hamstring autografts or allografts in people over 50. METHODS: The clinical records of two consecutive cohorts of 61 cases in total over 50 years of age, undergoing ACL reconstruction, were included. The first cohort consisted of 29 allografts; the second cohort consisted of 32 autologous hamstring tendon grafts. The cases were evaluated pre- (T0) and post-operatively at six months (T1), 12 months (T2) and 24 months (T3). Clinical examination included the Lachman test, pivot shift test and objective (Objective IKDC [The International Knee Documentation Committee] score) and subjective clinical scores (Subjective IKDC score, Lysholm score and Tegner activity score). The degree of OA was evaluated using the Kellgren-Lawrence system at the time of the final follow-up, compared to the pre-operative condition. RESULTS: No pre-operative difference was found between the two groups (p > 0.05). No statistical difference was noted between the two groups at each follow-up (p > 0.05). At the final follow-up, both the groups significantly improved statistically in all the clinical and functional scores (p < 0.05). In both groups, one graft re-rupture was noted. No progression of OA was noted in both groups at final follow-up (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The graft choice does not influence the outcomes two years after ACL reconstruction in people over 50; thus, both treatments help in regaining knee stability with no signs of OA progression.

BACKGROUND: Lateralized onlay reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is designed to ensure better clinical functional recovery and lower rate of complications compared with Grammont medialized inlay RSA. The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes between these 2 different designs. METHODS: Eighty-five consecutive patients who underwent RSA were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were lost to follow-up, 34 received a curved onlay with a 145° neck-shaft angle (Ascend Flex group), and 42 received a long straight inlay stem with a 155° neck-shaft angle (Delta Xtend group). Patients were reviewed at an average follow-up of 46.8 ± 13.2 months (Ascend Flex group) and 36 ± 10.8 months (Delta Xtend group). Clinical outcome measures included active range of motion, strength, visual analog scale, Constant-Murley score, and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score. Radiographic evaluation at the final follow-up was performed to assess scapular notching, stress shielding, acromial or scapular fractures, heterotopic ossification, and radiolucent lines or implant loosening. RESULTS: No differences emerged between the 2 groups in terms of visual analog scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Constant-Murley scores, pain, function, strength, mobility, active forward elevation, active internal rotation, active external rotation at 0° and 90° of abduction, abduction, forward elevation, and external rotation strength (P = n.s.). Statistically superior active abduction was observed in the Delta Xtend group (P = .0017). Scapular notching was observed in 12 shoulders (35.2%) in the Ascend Flex group (a grade 1) and in 10 shoulders (23.8%) in the Delta Xtend group (P = n.s.). No differences emerged between the 2 groups in terms of humeral or glenoid radiolucency (P = n.s.). Higher rate of humeral stress shielding rate was observed in the Ascend flex cohort (P = n.s.). CONCLUSIONS: No statistically significant difference emerged between the 145° onlay curved stem vs. the 155° inlay straight stem according to most of the evaluated parameters. Statistically superior active abduction was observed in the 155° group although it did not affect patients' satisfaction.

PURPOSE: Groin pain is a widely recognized medical issue among athletes. Groin pain can affect both player and team performance and sometimes can be a career-ending injury. The aim of this study was to assess seasonal groin pain prevalence and the average seasonal time loss from sport for each injury in different team sport athletes. The hip and groin functionality at the beginning of the following season was also investigated. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was undertaken on 600 team sport athletes (soccer, futsal, basketball, volleyball, and water polo players). The seasonal prevalence of groin pain, level of competition (professional and non-professional), time loss, and concomitant injuries in addition to groin pain were reported and analyzed. The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) was used to assess hip and groin pain and function related to sport and activity. RESULTS: Among the 506 (84%) players included, 123 players (24.3%) reported groin pain. Overall, soccer players reported the highest groin pain prevalence (32.5%) followed by futsal (25.5%), basketball (25.2%), water polo (17.6%) and volleyball players (13.6%). Professional soccer, futsal and basketball athletes showed higher groin pain prevalence in comparison with non-professional athletes (p = 0.02, p = 0.005 and p = 0.004, respectively). The mean time loss from sport due to groin pain was 60.3 ± 66 days in soccer, 41.1 ± 16.6 days in futsal, 31.5 ± 18 days in water polo, 37.2 ± 14.2 days in basketball and 50.8 ± 24.6 days in volleyball. Significantly lower HAGOS values were found in athletes with groin pain for all sports evaluated compared to athletes with no groin pain history (p = 0.0001). Longer time loss from sport was correlated with lower HAGOS values in soccer (p = 0.002) and futsal (p = 0.002) players with groin pain. Concomitant injuries were correlated with lower HAGOS values in water polo players (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Seasonal groin pain occurs in as many as one in four team sport athletes. Soccer players show the highest groin pain prevalence and the longest time loss from sport. Professional athletes report higher prevalence of groin pain in comparison with non-professional athletes.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to report the clinical and functional results of a series of patients with isolated primary patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) treated with intraarticular injection of microfragmented autologous adipose tissue plus knee arthroscopy. The results were also analyzed in relation to the age and body mas index (BMI) of patients, and to the stage of PFOA. METHODS: Twenty-three patients with early-to-moderate (stage 1-3 according to the Iwano classification system) PFOA who received this treatment were retrospectively analyzed, with a mean follow-up of 22.1 ± 4.2 months. Patients were assessed using the International Knee Society (IKS) knee and function and visual analog scale (VAS) scores, and relative to their capacity for climbing stairs. Differences in improvements of IKS and VAS scores in relation to age (< 60 versus ≥ 60 years), BMI (< 30 versus ≥ 30 kg/m2), and stage of PFOA (stages 1-2 versus stage 3) were finally analyzed. RESULTS: The mean IKS knee score significantly improved from 35.6 ± 14.9 points preoperatively to 61.9 ± 17.8 points at the latest follow-up, while the mean IKS function score significantly improved from 52.0 ± 14.7 points preoperatively to 82.3 ± 19.1 points at the latest follow-up. The mean VAS score significantly decreased from 8.7 ± 2.2 preoperatively to 5.2 ± 2.5 at the latest follow-up. A significant improvement in the capacity to climb stairs was found. No significant differences in improvements of IKS knee and function and VAS scores were found in relation to age, BMI, or stage of PFOA. CONCLUSION: Intraarticular injection of microfragmented autologous adipose tissue following arthroscopic debridement significantly improved overall clinical and functional scores in patients with early or moderate isolated primary PFOA at a mean follow-up of almost 2 years. Improvements were not significantly affected by age, BMI, or stage of PFOA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective case series.

PURPOSE: Optimal treatment of chronic unstable acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations (stage 3-5 according the Rockwood classification) is still debated. Anatomic coracoclavicular (CC) reconstruction is a reliable option in terms of two-dimensional radiographic reduction, clinical outcomes, and return to sports, but there remain concerns regarding anterior-posterior stability of the AC joint with CC ligament reconstruction alone. The aim of the present study was to describe the mid-term results of a new hybrid technique with CC and AC ligament reconstruction for chronic AC joint dislocations. METHODS: Twenty-two patients surgically treated for chronic AC joint dislocations (grade 3 to 5) were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were assessed before surgery and at final follow-up with the Constant-Murley score (CMS) and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. The CC vertical distance (CCD) and the CCD ratio (affected side compared to unaffected side) were measured on Zanca radiographs preoperatively, at 6 months postop and at final follow-up. The same surgical technique consisting in a primary fixation with a suspensory system, coracoclavicular ligaments reconstruction with a double loop of autologous gracilis and acromioclavicular ligaments reconstruction with autologous coracoacromial ligament was performed in all cases. RESULTS: Twenty-two shoulders in 22 patients (19 males and 3 females) were evaluated with a mean age of 34.4 ± 9 years at the time of surgery. The mean interval between the injury and surgery was 53.4 ± 36.7 days. The mean duration of postoperative follow-up was 49.9 ± 11.8 months. According to the Rockwood classification, there were 5 (22.6%) type-III and 17 (77.2%) type-V dislocations. Mean preoperative ASES and CMS were 54.4 ± 7.6 and 64.6 ± 7.2, respectively. They improved to 91.8 ± 2.3 (p = 0.0001) and 95.2 ± 3.1 (p = 0.0001), respectively at final FU. The mean preoperative CCD was 22.4 ± 3.2 mm while the mean CCD ratio was 2.1 ± 0.1. At final FU, the mean CCD was 11.9 ± 1.4 mm (p = 0.002) and the mean CCD ratio was 1.1 ± 0.1 (p = 0.009). No recurrence of instability was observed. One patient developed a local infection and four patients referred some shoulder discomfort. Heterotopic ossifications were observed in three patients. CONCLUSIONS: The optimal treatment of chronic high-grade AC joint dislocations requires superior-inferior and anterior-posterior stability to ensure good clinical outcomes and return to overhead activities or sports. The present hybrid technique of AC and CC ligaments reconstruction showed good clinical and radiographic results and is a reliable an alternative to other reported techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

PURPOSE: The aim of this meta-analysis was to to determine the influence of obesity on patient outcome and implant survivorship after primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). METHODS: A PRISMA systematic review was conducted by searching the Medline (PubMed), EMBASE, and Cochrane electronic databases to identify clinical studies investigating the effect of obesity on outcomes after UKA. Data were collected on aspecifically designed extraction form. Methodological quality was assessed using the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies score. Quantitative meta-analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS: A total of 17 studies were included; 43,845 primary UKA patients were classified by their BMI: on-obese (BMI 25 to < 30 kg/m2); obese (BMI 30 to < 35 kg/m2); severely obese (BMI > 35 kg/m2). Pooled analysis showed no statistically significant difference in Knee Society Score (KSS) pain in the obese (n.s.) and the severely obese (n.s.) group compared to the non-obese group, while the KSS function score was lower in the severely obese (P = 0.0002) compared to the obese (P = 0.06) and the non-obese group. Postoperative Oxford Knee Score (OKS) was lower in the obese group (P = 0.01) but not in the severely obese group (P = 0.16). Postoperative Range of Motion (ROM) was comparable in the obese and non-obese group (P = 0.16). Implant survival at 10 years follow-up was significantly lower in the obese (82.5-95.3%; P < 0.0001) and the severely obese group (87.5-93.8%; P < 0.0001) thanthe non-obese group (83.6-98.6%). CONCLUSION: Obesity and severe obesity were associated with significantly higher revision and lower implant survival rates. Obesity did not influence clinical and most functional outcomes after UKA, whereas KSS function score was significantly lower only for the severely obese patient group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To compare the rate of return to sports and body mass index (BMI) reduction in patients who underwent surgery for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with either Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) alloy UKA or with hypoallergenic UKA, stratified by age, gender and BMI. METHODS: Two consecutive cohorts of patients with a total of 172 UKA and a minimum 2-year follow-up period were prospectively included in this comparative study. The first cohort consisted of 136 consecutive series of standard Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr Group). The second cohort consisted of 36 consecutive mobile-bearing hypoallergenic Titanium Niobium Nitride UKA, (TiNbN Group). The clinical evaluation was based on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scores and the High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) evaluated on the day before surgery (T0) and after a minimum follow-up of 12 months (T1) and 24 months (T2). Radiographic evaluation performed at T2 included the femoral component position in varus/valgus, the tibial component in varus/valgus and the anteroposterior slope. RESULTS: No statistical differences were found between the groups at each follow-up, as shown by the UCLA and HAAS score (n.s.). Both groups showed a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) at each follow-up.. Both groups showed a statistically significant BMI reduction between T0 and T2 (p < 0.05). Radiographic analysis revealed no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of the three measures after the final follow-up (n.s.). All the subgroups showed a significant (p < 0.05) rate of return to sport if compared with the preoperative value (T2 versus T0), except for male in TiNbN group. CONCLUSIONS: Both TiNbN and CoCr medial mobile-bearing UKA enabled patients to return to sports after the final follow-up, regardless of age, BMI, gender and metal sensitivity. These findings inform shared decision making and can help to manage patient expectations after surgery, in particular, in active patients with an overt metal allergy, a specific hypoallergenic implant should be considered the gold standard implant in partial knee replacement surgery.
