RÉSUMÉ
CASE: We report a unique case of dynamic scapular winging due to compression of the long thoracic nerve by a ventral scapular osteochondroma, representing a combination of mechanical and neural causes. Arthroscopic resection of the lesion was performed, which led to complete resolution of the symptoms. CONCLUSION: By reporting this case, we aimed to increase awareness of the importance of a correct etiological diagnosis of dynamic scapular winging, so that targeted treatment can be addressed. Arthroscopic resection seems ideal for this indication because it reduces the risk of complications and patient recovery time.

Objective: To compare the postoperative analgesic effect of modified superior trunk block and traditional interscalene brachial plexus block in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: A total of 40 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from October to November 2023 were prospectively included, whose American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade were â -â ¡. They were divided into modified superior trunk block group (group S) and interscalene brachial plexus block group (group I) by random number table according to different nerve block methods, with 20 cases in each group. Local anesthetics was a mixture of 1.33% liposomal bupivacaine and 0.5% levobupivacaine hydrochloride injection in equal volume. Patients in group S were injected 5 ml mixture for ultrasound-guided modified superior trunk block, and patients in group I were injected with 15 ml mixture for ultrasound-guided traditional interscalene block respectively. Both groups underwent superficial cervical plexus block (5 ml mixture). Standardized general anesthesia and standardized postoperative analgesia were followed. The primary outcome measures included 48 h resting numerical rating scale (NRS) scores after surgery and the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP) at 30 min after block. The secondary outcome measures included resting NRS scores during the post anesthesia care unit (PACU), 12, 24, and 36 h after surgery, postoperative opioid consumption and satisfaction with analgesia, pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) at 30 min after block, sensory and motor block duration, and the incidence of perioperative adverse reactions. The non-inferiority cut-off value of resting NRS scores for patients in group S was set as"1 point"at each observation time point after surgery. Results: In group S, one patient was excluded because the target nerve was blocked by the subclavian vein and could not be blocked, nineteen patients [11 males and 8 females, aged (52.2±9.0) years] were eventually included. In group I, there were 7 males and 13 females, aged (55.0±5.1) years. Resting NRS scores of group S and Group I at 48 h after surgery were 0 (0, 0) and 0 (0, 0.8) point, respectively, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). The median difference was 0 (95%CI:0-0) point and the upper 95%CI was 0 point, which was lower than the preset non-inferiority cut-off value"1 point"(non-inferiority P<0.001). The incidence of HDP in group S and group I were 5% (1/19) and 75% (15/20), respectively, with statistically significant (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in resting NRS scores at PACU and 12, 24, 36 h after surgery, opioid dosage, satisfaction with analgesia, SpO2 at 30 min after block, sensory and motor block duration between two groups (all P>0.05). No respiratory adverse events such as hypoxemia and airway spasm occurred in two groups after extubation. One patient in group I showed symptoms of breath shortness when entering PACU, and 3 patients felt uncomfortable due to prolonged numbness and weakness of the blockade limb (>2 days). No nerve block procedures and opioid drugs relative adverse reactions and no neurological complications happened in both groups. Conclusion: Liposomal bupivacaine usage for modified superior trunk block can provide long-term postoperative analgesic effects which is noninferior to traditional interscalene brachial plexus block and causes less HDP in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

BACKGROUND: Lateral epicondylitis is a common cause of elbow pain that is generally self-limiting. For patients who have persistent symptoms refractory to conservative treatment, there is still no clear consensus on the most favorable treatment modality. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the available literature regarding both nonoperative and operative treatment modalities for recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis (RLE) to provide insight into the efficacy of treatment options. METHODS: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines, where the PubMed, MEDLINE/Ovid, CINAHL, Cochrane, and Scopus databases were queried to identify studies evaluating treatment options for RLE. RESULTS: A total of 27 studies with 1,958 patients were included. Of the reviewed studies, there were a wide variety of treatments including platelet-rich plasma injections, percutaneous tenotomies, and various arthroscopic and open procedures. CONCLUSION: There are a wide variety of treatment modalities available for RLE that have promising efficacy in the short, medium, and long terms. A comprehensive approach combining evidence-based and patient-centered care is critical for effective management of refractory symptoms. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: To determine the effectiveness of physical therapy on the functional state of law enforcement officers' knee joints after surgical intervention. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: The research involved law enforcement officers from different units of the National Police of Ukraine (n = 56) who had suffered knee joint injuries in the line of duty, and underwent surgical intervention and rehabilitation procedures. RESULTS: Results: It was found that 78.2 % of respondents had suffered knee joint ligament injuries as a result of falls during rapid movement, while 43.9 % were in full gear (armored protection, helmet, etc.). It was determined that after surgical intervention, the functional state of the knee joint of law enforcement officers who followed the recommendations of physical therapy specialists and systematically performed special sets of physical exercises was significantly different (p < 0.001). Worse results were noted in people who partially followed the recommendations of rehabilitation therapists and performed part of the prescribed procedures and physical exercises. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The effectiveness of the complex use of physical rehabilitation means for restoring the functioning of the knee joint after surgical intervention, which included arthroscopy, partial menisectomy of the damaged areas, debridement, vaporization of damaged cartilage, etc. was revealed. The positive effect of physical exercises on the functional state of the knee joint was proven. The sets of exercises that are advisable to use to restore the functioning of the knee joint were determined.

Treatment strategies for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome have evolved in tandem with increased comprehension of FAI's impact on hip joint health. Early intervention, including arthroscopic surgery, has gained popularity due to its potential to delay the progression of osteoarthritis. Arthroscopic surgery has demonstrated significant efficacy in treating FAI syndrome, with robust evidence from randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews supporting its use. Despite arthroscopic surgery's success, complications and reoperations are not uncommon. The incidence ranges from 1% to 31% and 4% to 13%, respectively. Adjunctive biologic treatments, such as bone marrow aspirate concentrates and platelet-rich plasma, have shown promise in chondral lesion management. However, robust evidence supporting their routine use in FAI syndrome is currently lacking. Among conservative treatment methods, intra-articular injections offer diagnostic and therapeutic benefits for FAI patients. While they may provide pain relief and aid in prognosis, their long-term efficacy remains a subject of debate. Comparative studies between conservative and arthroscopic treatments highlight the importance of personalized approaches in managing FAI syndrome. In conclusion, recent advancements in FAI syndrome management have illuminated various treatment modalities. Arthroscopic surgery stands as a pivotal intervention, offering substantial benefits in pain relief, function, and quality of life. However, careful patient selection and postoperative monitoring are crucial for optimizing outcomes. Adjunctive biologics and intra-articular injections show promise but require further investigation. Tailoring treatment to individual patient characteristics remains paramount in optimizing FAI syndrome management.

Background: The morphology of the suprascapular notch (SSN) and the ossification of the superior transverse suprascapular ligament (STSL) are risk factors for injury of the suprascapular nerve (SN) during arthroscopic shoulder procedures. The purpose of the current study was to compare preoperative clinical and radiologic characteristics between patients with and without STSL ossification and to evaluate SSN morphology in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using a 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructed model. Methods: Patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and were given a computed tomography (CT) scan from March 2018 to August 2019 were included in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those without STSL ossification (group I) and those with STSL ossification (group II). Tear size of the rotator cuff and fatty infiltration of rotator cuff muscles were assessed in preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. The morphology of the SSN was classified following Rengachary's classification. The transverse and vertical diameters of the SSN and the distances from anatomical landmarks to the STSL were measured. All measurements were completed using a 3D CT reconstructed scapula model. Results: A total of 200 patients were included in this study. One hundred seventy-eight patients (89.0%) without STSL ossification were included in group I, and 22 patients (11.0%) with STSL ossification were included in group II. Group II showed a significantly advanced age (61.0 ± 7.4 vs. 71.0 ± 7.3 years, p < 0.001) and a shorter transverse diameter of SSN (10.7 ± 3.1 mm vs. 6.1 ± 3.7 mm, p < 0.001) than group I. In the logistic regression analysis, age was an independent prognostic factor for STSL ossification (odds ratio, 1.201; 95% confidence interval, 1.112-1.296; p < 0.001). Patients in type VI showed significantly shorter transverse diameters than other types (p < 0.001). The patient with type I showed a significantly shorter distance from the articular surface of the glenoid to the SSN than those with other types (p < 0.001). Conclusions: In the 3D morphological analysis, age was the independent factor associated with STSL ossification in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Type VI showed significantly shorter transverse diameters than other types. Type I showed a significantly shorter distance from the articular surface of the glenoid to the SSN than other types.

Background: Morphological differences among various ethnicities can significantly impact the reliability of acromiohumeral interval (AHI) measurements in diagnosing massive rotator cuff tears. This variation raises questions about the generalizability of AHI studies conducted in Western populations to the Asian population. Consequently, the primary objective of this study was to develop a novel parameter that can enhance the diagnosis of massive rotator cuff tears, irrespective of morphometric disparities between individuals of different ethnic backgrounds. Methods: A 10-year retrospective analysis of shoulder arthroscopic surgery patients was conducted, categorizing them into 3 groups based on intraoperative findings: those without rotator cuff tears, those with non-massive tears, and those with massive tears. AHI-glenoid ratio (AHIGR) was measured by individuals with varying academic backgrounds, and its diagnostic performance was compared to AHI. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and intra- and inter-rater reliability were evaluated. Results: AHIGR exhibited significantly improved sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy as a diagnostic tool for massive rotator cuff tears, compared to AHI. A proposed cut-off point of AHIGR ≤ 0.2 yielded comparable results to AHI < 7 mm. Intra- and inter-rater reliability was excellent among different observers. Conclusions: AHIGR emerges as a promising diagnostic tool for massive rotator cuff tears, offering improved sensitivity and specificity compared to AHI. Its reproducibility among diverse observers underscores its potential clinical utility. While further research with larger and more diverse patient cohorts is necessary, AHIGR offers significant potential as a reference for enhancing the assessment of massive rotator cuff tears.

Background: Although the all-inside arthroscopic modified Broström operation (AMBO) and open modified Broström operation (OMBO) for chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) showed favorable outcomes up to 1-year short-term follow-up, concerns about the long-term stability of AMBO are still present. Therefore, we aimed to compare midterm outcomes between the 2 methods by extending the observation period. Methods: Fifty-four patients undergoing ankle surgery between August 2013 and July 2017 were included in the AMBO (n = 37) and OMBO (n = 17) groups. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale and a visual analog scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes. Anterior drawer test and talar tilt angle were used to evaluate the radiological outcomes. The mean follow-up duration was 59.69 months. Results: The 2 groups both showed improved clinical and radiological results statistically. In addition, they did not differ in age, sex, or preoperative AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale score, VAS score, anterior drawer test, or talar tilt angle. No significant difference in the final follow-up postoperative clinical scores or radiological outcomes was observed. Conclusions: AMBO and OMBO as treatments for CLAI did not yield differing clinical or radiological outcomes at a mean follow-up time point of 59.69 months.

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the changes in untreated subscapularis in patients who underwent supraspinatus repair and to evaluate the factors related to the changes in the subscapularis. Methods: A cohort of patients who underwent isolated supraspinatus repair with preservation of the subscapularis was reviewed. Changes in the subscapularis, including any newly formed lesion and aggravation of an existing lesion, were evaluated 12 months postoperatively on magnetic resonance imaging along with an examination to identify causative factors after supraspinatus repair. Clinical scores were compared between patients with and without subscapularis changes. Results: A total of 528 patients were reviewed. Changes in the subscapularis, including newly formed lesions and aggravation of an existing lesion, were shown in 90 patients (17.0%). Upon regression analysis, changes in the subscapularis were associated with the initial existence of a subscapularis lesion (grade I: p = 0.042, grade II: p = 0.025), an accompanying biceps lesion (p = 0.038), and a retear of the repaired supraspinatus (p = 0.024). No significant differences were shown in clinical scores between patients with and without subscapularis changes after supraspinatus repair. Conclusions: Untreated asymptomatic subscapularis may undergo morphological changes even after repair of the torn supraspinatus. Preoperative subscapularis lesions, biceps long head pathology, and retears of the repaired supraspinatus were associated with subscapularis pathology in patients who underwent supraspinatus repair.

BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic treatment is recommended for hip synovial chondromatosis. However, evidence regarding long-term clinical outcomes is limited. PURPOSE: To evaluate long-term patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and survival, and to determine the potential effect of residual loose bodies, as evaluated by immediate postoperative computed tomography (CT), on clinical outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: A consecutive cohort of patients undergoing arthroscopic treatment and diagnosed with synovial chondromatosis between March 2010 and May 2015 were included in the study. Preoperative radiography, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. Preoperative, midterm (minimum of 4 years), and long-term (minimum of 8 years) PROs were collected for visual analog scale for pain, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), and 12-item international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12). The percentages achieving minimal clinically important difference (MCID) were calculated. PROs and survival were compared between patients with and without residual loose bodies evident on immediate postoperative CT scan. RESULTS: A total of 28 patients (20% of patients were lost to follow-up) were included in the study with a mean follow-up period of 104.9 months (range, 96-139 months). PROs including visual analog scale for pain (preoperative, 3.8 ± 1.2; midterm, 0.9 ± 1.7; long-term, 0.8 ± 1.4), mHHS (preoperative, 66.4 ± 14.4; midterm, 92.8 ± 12.3; long-term, 93.5 ± 10.5), NAHS (preoperative, 45.2 ± 16.2; midterm, 81.8 ± 15.3; long-term, 83.1 ± 12.9), and iHOT-12 (preoperative, 48.4 ± 15.6; midterm, 69.3 ± 11.7; long-term, 72.7 ± 11.4) were improved at both midterm and long-term follow-up (all with P < .001). In total, 27 (96.4%), 28 (100%), and 26 (92.9%) patients achieved MCID for mHHS, NAHS and iHOT-12, respectively, at the long-term follow-up. No significant difference was found in any of the PROs and the rate of achieving MCID between midterm and long-term follow-up (all with P > .05). One patient (3.6%) underwent revision surgery. Among the 23 patients who had loose bodies on preoperative CT or radiographs, 14 patients (60.9%) with residual loose bodies evident on immediate postoperative CT demonstrated lower NAHS (P = .045) and iHOT-12 (P = .037) scores but a comparable survival (P > .05) at long-term follow-up compared with those who did not have loose bodies. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic treatment for hip synovial chondromatosis achieved satisfactory long-term clinical outcomes with strong survival. Most patients maintained or improved their overall functional status between midterm and long-term follow-up. Furthermore, patients with residual loose bodies had less favorable clinical outcomes, although the survival rate was comparable.

BACKGROUND: The clinical implications of structural integrity have been a subject of long debate. The oversimplified binary categorization of structural integrity into either healing or retear, along with faulty preoperative baselines for comparison, may contribute to the controversy. PURPOSE: To determine how the quality of structural integrity in a repaired cuff tendon affects both clinical and structural outcomes by dividing the patients into groups based on integrity and using the immediate postoperative baseline (time zero). STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: A total of 504 patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and were followed up for at least a year with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included. The quality of structural integrity was graded using the Sugaya classification. To evaluate clinical outcomes, pain, range of motion, strength, functional scores, and overall satisfaction and function were used for within- and between-group analyses at the last follow-up. For the assessment of structural outcomes, the Goutallier classification for fatty infiltration (FI) and the tangent sign, occupation ratio, and normalized cross-sectional area for muscle atrophy (MA) were used. The baselines for these structural measurements were both the preoperative and the time-zero MRI scans. RESULTS: The mean clinical follow-up period was 31.8 ± 27.5 months, and the MRI follow-up period was 10.9 ± 5.3 months. There were 178 (35.3%), 228 (45.2%), 58 (11.5%), 14 (2.8%), and 26 (5.2%) shoulders with Sugaya grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Regardless of structural integrity, all clinical outcomes at a mean follow-up of 31.8 months after repair significantly improved compared with those before repair. Only in shoulders with Sugaya grade 1 did the FI of the supraspinatus muscle improve significantly from baseline. FI of the infraspinatus muscle did not change significantly in those with grades 1 and 2 but worsened in those with grades 3 and 5. MA measured using the occupation ratio improved significantly in shoulders with Sugaya grades 1 and 2 but declined in those with grade 5. CONCLUSION: This study established a correlation between improved structural integrity of the repaired cuff tendon and enhanced structural outcomes in rotator cuff muscles. Furthermore, the findings revealed that both FI and MA could be reversed in patients exhibiting high-quality structural integrity. However, these structural improvements were not mirrored in the clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Patients aged 40-60 years who require total hip arthroplasty (THA) often first receive unindicated hip arthroscopy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our objective was to identify potentially inappropriate resource utilization before THA, specifically reporting on the proportion of patients aged 40-60 years who underwent hip arthroscopy or MRI in the year before THA. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, population-based study at the provincial level. We retrieved data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). We included all Ontario residents who underwent an elective, primary THA for osteoarthritis between Apr. 1, 2004, and Mar. 31, 2016. We identified the rates and timing of patients who underwent an MRI or hip arthroscopy before their index THA. RESULTS: The percentage of patients who underwent an MRI before THA increased significantly over the study period, from 8.7% in 2004 to 23.8% in 2015. There was also a significant but variable trend in the percentage of patients who underwent a hip arthroscopy before THA. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate a high, gradually increasing proportion of patients who received a hip MRI and a low but increasing proportion of patients who received hip arthroscopy in close proximity to THA. Multidisciplinary collaboration may improve knowledge translation and help reduce the rate of clinically unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in this population of patients who require THA.

BACKGROUND: Delayed union and nonunion of the scaphoid is a common complication often requiring surgical reconstruction and bone grafting. Our goal was to systematically assess the healing time and clinical outcomes following arthroscopic-assisted versus open non-vascularized bone grafting of the scaphoid. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and Cochrane Central databases was completed from inception to September 2023. We included randomized trials and observational studies that reported outcomes following scaphoid delayed union/nonunion comparing arthroscopic-assisted vs. open non-vascularized bone grafting. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. One investigator assessed certainty of evidence and a senior investigator confirmed the assessment. We pooled effects using random-effects models, when possible, for all outcomes reported by more than 1 study. RESULTS: Overall, 26 studies and 822 patients were included in the study. Very low certainty evidence demonstrated that arthroscopic-assisted surgery may decrease healing time compared to open surgery (weighted mean difference [WMD] -7.8 weeks; 95%CI -12.8 to -2.8). Arthroscopic bone grafting did not result in an improvement in union rate (relative risk 1.01; 95%CI 0.9 to 1.09). The pooled data in arthroscopic graft group showed mean time to union of 11.4 weeks (95%CI: 10.4 to 12.5) with union rate of 95% (95%CI 91-98%). A single comparative study reported very low certainty evidence that arthroscopy-assisted vs. open surgery may not have an effect on pain relief (MD 0 cm, 95%CI -0.4 to 0.5 on VAS 10 cm for pain) or improving function (MD -1.2, 95% CI -4.8 to 2.3 on 100 points DASH). CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS: Our results suggest that arthroscopic-assisted non-vascularized bone grafting may be associated with improved average weeks to heal in comparison with open surgery for scaphoid delayed union/nonunion reconstruction with overall comparable union rates. There is insufficient evidence to assess the effects of arthroscopic-assisted reconstruction on union rate, time to union, and patient-reported outcomes in patients with other important nonunion characteristics such as established humpback deformity.

BACKGROUND: The accuracy of traditional knee MR imaging in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament tears, especially partial tears, is relatively low, which may lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of a novel imaging method, high-resolution oblique coronal MRI at an optimal flexed-knee Angle, for ACL tears. METHODS: 50 healthy volunteers were scanned with a scan-assisted device for the optimal flexion angle of ACL. For 92 knee trauma patients selected strictly according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, conventional extended-knee scans (control group) and high-resolution oblique coronal scans based on the optimal flexed-knee angle (experimental group) were conducted. Two observers rated ACL visibility blindly on a 5-point scale. Arthroscopy-defined outcomes determined diagnostic metrics for each method and sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were calculated. RESULTS: The average optimal flexion angle for healthy volunteers was approximately 30° (30.3° ± 5.0°). Imaging demonstrated complete visualization of the ACL in 96.7% of images in the experimental group versus 12.0% in the control group. The diagnostic indicators of the experimental group surpassed those of the control group: sensitivity (94.9% vs. 76.3%), specificity (97.0% vs. 81.8%), positive predictive value (98.2% vs. 88.2%), negative predictive value(91.4% vs. 65.9%), and accuracy (95.7% vs. 78.3%). ROC analysis indicated superior diagnostic performance in the experimental group, with an AUC of 0.945 compared with 0.776 for the control group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: High-resolution oblique coronal imaging at the optimal 30° flexed-knee angle improved ACL visualization and diagnostic performance compared with conventional techniques.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic measurement of intra-articular graft length in the application of total internal reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL). METHODS: The 60 patients with ACL injury treated between January 2020 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 37 males and 23 females, aged from 22 to 44 years. According to the different surgical methods, they were divided into two groups:conventional surgery group (conventional group) and pull-line measurement group (measurement group), with 30 cases in each group. In the conventional group, there were 20 males and 10 females, with an average age of (30.00±3.95) years old;the body mass index (BMI) was (22.58±1.41) kg·m-2;there were 9 cases on the left side and 21 cases on the right side;the time from injury to operation was (3. 00±1.35) days. In the measurement group, there were 17 males and 13 females, with an average of(32.00±4.29) years;BMI was (23.29±1.39) kg·m-2;there were 12 cases on the left side and 18 cases on the right side;the time from injury to operation was (3.00±1.27) days. The clinical data of the patients before surgery, 6 months after surgery and 12 months after surgery were collected and recorded. The clinical efficacy of the two methods was compared in terms of postoperative VAS, KOOS, Lysholm score, IKDC score, knee stability (Lachman test, anterior drawer test and axial shift test), the degree of widening of bone tunnel diameter measured by CT at different stages of the postoperative period and MRI scoring system. RESULTS: At 12 months after surgery, the VAS of the measurement group was lower than that of the conventional group(P<0.001). At 12 months after surgery, KOOS scores in the measurement group were higher than those in the conventional group, and there were statistically significant differences in all scores except symptom scores (P<0.05). Six months after operation, Lysholm total score and IKDC total score in the measurement group were higher than those in the conventional group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At 12 months after surgery, knee stability tests were performed, and the differences between the Lachman test, anterior drawer test and axial shift test measurement group and the conventional group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). However, overall knee instability analysis showed that the knee stability of the measurement group was better than that of the control group, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P=0.038). The imaging assessment of patients in both groups at 6 months after surgery showed that the widening of tendon tunnel diameter in both femur and tibia was reduced in the measurement group compared with the conventional group after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);MRI scores were higher in all patients in the measurement group those in the conventional group, at 6 months and 12 months agter surgery(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic measurement of intra-articular cavity graft length in total internal technique for ACL reconstruction, high tendon utilization, good stability, the knee joint function has recovered satisfactorily within one year, and the therapeutic effect is affirmed.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the differences of clinical features of acute gout flare and postoperative infection under arthroscopy of knee gouty arthritis patients to offer guiding opinions of clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: Between January 2017 and December 2022, 235 patients with gouty knee osteoarthritis were admitted, and underwent arthroscopic debridement combined with synovectomy. Among them, 35 cases had fever with a temperature higher than 38 °C postoperatively while acute inflammatory appears under redness, swelling, heat and pain of the operated joints. There were 29 males and 6 females, with an average age of (41.48±13.90) years old. Among them 23 patients were diagnosed with acute gout attack, and recovered well after being given colchicine and prednisolone;12 patients were diagnosed with postoperative joint infection, and were cured after being given anti-infective treatments and cleaning and rinsing of the joint cavity. The two groups of patients were compared and analyzed in terms of preoperative general data, surgical conditions, hematology, joint fluid, limb function and other clinical characteristics. RESULTS: There were no significant difference in the preoperative general data between two groups. The onset of fever in the postoperative acute gout flare group occurred mostly within 48 hours, significantly earlier than that in the postoperative infection group(P=0.037). The visual analogue scale score was significantly higher in the acute gout flare group (5.32±1.38) score than in the postoperative infection group (2.45±0.68) score (P=0.000), while 14 patients with acute gout flare were accompanied by severe pain in other joints. Hematologically, indicators such as white blood cell counts and ratios were significantly higher in both groups. In terms of inflammatory indicators, IL-6, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, procalcitonin and other inflammatory indicators were significantly elevated in both groups, but there was no statistical difference between two groups. The C-reactive protein level in the postoperative infection group (220.97±116.30) mg·L-1 was higher than that in the postoperative acute gout attack group(120.67±82.45) mg·L-1(P=0.006). Blood uric acid (316.55±112.84) µmol·L-1 was higher in the acute postoperative gout flare group than in the postoperative infection group (159.14±126.92) µmol·L-1(P=0.001). In the joint fluid examination of the postoperative infection group, the glucose metabolism indicator was significantly lower than that of the acute gout flare group, and five of them had positive bacterial cultures. CONCLUSION: The symptoms of acute gout flare could be mistaken as postoperative infection due to their similarity, therefore requires careful differentiation. Differential diagnosis should be based on a combination of clinical signs, hematology and joint fluid findings, and targeted treatment should be given to avoid serious complications.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mid-term effect and complications of arthroscopic popliteal tendon suture in the treatment of lateral meniscus injury. METHODS: From January 2016 to December 2020, the data of 57 patients with lateral meniscus popliteal tendon injury treated by arthroscopic popliteal tendon suture fixation were retrospectively analyzed, including 35 males and 22 females, aged from 18 to 47 years old with an average of (32.9±7.9) years old. Knee function was evaluated using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm scores both before the operation and at the final follow-up. Meniscus healing was evaluated according to the postoperative Barrett standard. Wound healing complications, such as vascular injury, nerve injury, and lower extremity venous thrombosis, were recorded. RESULTS: All 57 patients were followed up for 12 to 58 months with an average of (38.1±14.9) months.The incisions of the patients after the operation were all Grade A healing without infection, popliteal tendon injury, blood vessel injury, nerve injury and lower extremity venous thrombosis.The IKDC score increased from (49.7±3.6) points preoperatively to (88.5±4.4) points in the final follow-up (P<0.05). The Lysholm score increased from (48.8±4.9) points preoperatively to (91.9±3.9) points at the final follow-up (P<0.05). At 3, 6 months and 1 year after operation, according to Barrett's criteria, 54 cases were clinically healed, the healing rate was 94.7% (54/57). CONCLUSION: This study preliminarily confirmed that arthroscopic suture technique can result in clinical stability through suture and fixation of the meniscus in the injured lateral popliteal tendon area. No adverse effects on knee joint function were found in the mid-term follow-up after the operation.

BACKGROUND: After arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) for anterior glenohumeral instability (GHI), adolescent athletes have higher rates of subsequent recurrent GHI than any other subpopulation. Elucidating which adolescents are at highest risk of postoperative recurrent GHI may optimize surgical decision-making. PURPOSE: To identify prognostic factors associated with subsequent recurrent GHI requiring revision stabilization surgery (RSS) after ABR. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: The study included patients 12 to 21 years old who had undergone ABR for anterior GHI at a pediatric tertiary care hospital by 1 of 5 sports medicine fellowship-trained surgeons between 2000 and 2020. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, with percentage of patients with recurrent GHI undergoing subsequent RSS, was used with a time-to-event outcome analysis. The Cox model effects were expressed as the hazard ratio (HR). All tests were 2-sided, with an alpha of .05. RESULTS: Records of 488 adolescent patients with ABR (78% male; mean age, 16.9 ± 1.98 years) were analyzed. Of these, 86 patients (17.6%) underwent subsequent RSS for recurrent GHI, yielding a cumulative risk of 8.8% at 2 years, 16.5% at 5 years, and 20% at 15 years. RSS occurred at a mean of 2.6 ± 2.1 years after ABR. Risk factors for RSS included >1 preoperative dislocation (2 dislocations: HR = 7.4, P = .0003; ≥3 dislocations: HR = 10.9, P < .0001), presence of a Hill-Sachs lesion (small: HR = 2.5, P = .0114; medium-large: HR = 4.2, P = .0004), younger age (1-year decrease: HR = 1.2, P = .0015), and participation in contact sports (HR = 1.8, P = .01). Adolescents with only 1 preoperative dislocation had a cumulative incidence of RSS (3.2%), which was significantly lower than those with 2 (24.2%) or ≥3 preoperative dislocations (33.5%). CONCLUSION: The number of dislocations before index ABR was the strongest risk factor for recurrent GHI requiring RSS in adolescents with anterior GHI, with 2 dislocations conferring >7-fold increased risk compared with a single preoperative dislocation. Other significant risk factors included the presence of a Hill-Sachs lesion, younger age, and participation in contact sports.

BACKGROUND: Short- and midterm evaluations of arthroscopic meniscal surgery have shown little or no effect in favor of surgery, although long-term effects, including radiographic changes, are unknown. PURPOSE: To compare the 10-year outcomes in middle-aged patients with meniscal symptoms between a group that received an exercise program alone and a group that received knee arthroscopy in addition to the exercise program with respect to the prevalence of radiographic and symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA), patient-reported outcomes, and clinical status. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS: Of 179 eligible patients aged 45 to 64 years, 150 were randomized to undergo either 3 months of exercise therapy (nonsurgery group) or knee arthroscopy in addition to the exercise therapy (surgery group). Surgery usually consisted of partial meniscectomy (n = 56) or diagnostic arthroscopy (n = 8). Radiographs were assessed according to the Kellgren-Lawrence score at the baseline and 5- and 10-year follow-ups. Patient-reported outcome measures were reported at the baseline and 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year follow-ups. Clinical status was assessed at a 10-year follow-up. The primary outcomes were radiographic OA and changes in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Pain subscale (KOOSPAIN) from the baseline to the 10-year follow-up. The primary analysis was performed using the intention-to-treat approach. RESULTS: At the time of the 10-year follow-up, eight patients had died, leaving 142 eligible patients. Radiographic OA was assessed for 95 patients (67%), questionnaires were answered by 110 (77%), and the clinical status was evaluated for 95 (67%). Radiographic OA was present in 67% of the patients in each group (P≥ .999); symptomatic OA was present in 47% of the nonsurgery group and 57% of the surgery group (P = .301). There were no differences between groups regarding changes from baseline to 10 years in any of the KOOS subscales. CONCLUSION: Knee arthroscopic surgery, in most cases consisting of partial meniscectomy or diagnostic arthroscopy, in addition to exercise therapy in middle-aged patients with meniscal symptoms, did not increase the rates of radiographic or symptomatic OA and resulted in similar patient-reported outcomes at the 10-year follow-up compared with exercise therapy alone. Considering the short-term benefit and no long-term harm from knee arthroscopic surgery, the treatment may be recommended when first-line treatment-including exercise therapy for ≥3 months-does not relieve patient's symptoms.

BACKGROUND: OFA (Opioid-free anesthesia) has the potential to reduce the occurrence of opioid-related adverse events and enhance postoperative recovery. Our research aimed to investigate whether OFA, combining esketamine and dexmedetomidine, could serve as an alternative protocol to traditional OBA (opioid-based anesthesia) in shoulder arthroscopy, particularly in terms of reducing PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting). METHODS: A total of 60 patients treated with shoulder arthroscopy from September 2021 to September 2022 were recruited. Patients were randomly assigned to the OBA group (n = 30) and OFA group (n = 30), receiving propofol-remifentanil TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia) and esketamine-dexmedetomidine intravenous anesthesia, respectively. Both groups received ultrasound-guided ISBPB(interscalene brachial plexus block)for postoperative analgesia. RESULTS: The incidence of PONV on the first postoperative day in the ward (13.3% vs. 40%, P < 0.05) was significantly lower in the OFA group than in the OBA group. Moreover, the severity of PONV was less severe in the OFA group than in the OBA group in PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) (0 [0, 0] vs. 0 [0, 3], P<0.05 ) and in the ward 24 h postoperatively ( 0 [0, 0] vs. 0 [0, 2.25], P<0.05). Additionally, the OFA group experienced a significantly shorter length of stay in the PACU compared to the OBA group (39.4 ± 6.76 min vs. 48.7 ± 7.90 min, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the OBA with propofol-remifentanil, the OFA with esketamine- dexmedetomidine proved to be feasible for shoulder arthroscopy, resulting in a reduced incidence of PONV and a shorter duration of stay in the PACU.
