RESUMO
PURPOSE: To determine whether (1) patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores after index hip arthroscopy correlate with PRO scores for the contralateral hip in patients undergoing staged bilateral hip arthroscopy and (2) patients who achieved minimal clinically important difference (MCID) or patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) for the index hip were more likely to achieve MCID or PASS for the contralateral hip. METHODS: Patients who underwent staged bilateral hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome were retrospectively reviewed. PRO scores were prospectively collected at preoperative and 1- and 2-year timepoints. Odds ratios for achievement of MCID and PASS for the contralateral hip given achievement for the index hip were calculated. Improvements from before surgery to 2 years after surgery were correlated between both hips. RESULTS: A total of 143 patients (286 hips) were included in the final analysis. Average time between surgeries was 8.5 months (range, 0.7-57.2). Both hips demonstrated significant improvement (P < .05 for all) in all PROs at 2 years. Achievement of MCID in Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) at the 1-year timepoint for the index hip was predictive of achievement of MCID in HOS-ADL at 2 years for the contralateral hip. Achievement of PASS in all PROs at the 1-year timepoint for the index hip were predictive of achievement of PASS in the equivalent outcome score at the 2-year mark for the contralateral hip. Achievement of MCID or PASS at the 2-year timepoint for the index hip was predictive of achievement of the equivalent outcome at the 2-year timepoint for the contralateral hip. The strongest correlation between improvement in PRO scores for the index and contralateral hips was noted in patients who underwent staged hip arthroscopy within less than 3 months. CONCLUSION: Patients experience significant clinical benefit in both hips after staged bilateral hip arthroscopy. Results from the initial hip arthroscopy at either 1- or 2-year follow-up can be used to predict outcomes on the contralateral side; however, there is a higher degree of predictive value using 2-year results. Average correlations between 2-year PROs on the index and contralateral hips were moderate to strong, regardless of the time between surgeries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

PURPOSE: To determine the improvements in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) necessary to achieve minimal clinically important difference (MCID), patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS), and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) after primary meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) at a minimum of 5-year follow-up, while identifying variables predictive of achieving clinically significant outcomes (CSOs). METHODS: A retrospective review was performed to identify patients undergoing primary MAT at a single institution from 1999 to 2016. Lysholm, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales were collected before surgery and at a minimum of 5-year follow-up. A distribution-based approach was used to calculate MCID, whereas an anchor-based approach was used to calculate SCB and PASS. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to determine factors associated with CSO achievement. RESULTS: A total of 202 patients undergoing MAT (56% medial, 44% lateral) were included with a mean follow-up of 9.8 ± 4.1 years, age of 29.7 ± 8.5 years, and body mass index (BMI) of 26.5 ± 4.7. Thresholds for achieving MCID, PASS, and SCB, respectively, at a minimum 5-year follow-up for Lysholm (10.3, 74.5, 32.5), IKDC (12.1, 55.6, 29.1), and KOOS subscales questionnaires (Pain [11.0, 70.7, 25.1], Symptoms [11.0, 60.8, 19.6], Activities of Daily Living [10.5, 90.3, 17.9], Sport [16.2, 47.4, 37.5], and Quality of Life [13.6, 40.5, 37.3]) were calculated. Reduced odds of achieving MCID were associated with higher preoperative PROM scores, BMI, patient age, concomitant osteotomy, male sex, and worker's compensation (WC) status. Reduced odds of achieving PASS were associated with lower preoperative PROM scores, higher BMI (particularly ≥30), patient age, and WC status. Reduced odds of achieving SCB were associated with higher preoperative PROM scores and WC status. CONCLUSIONS: This study established the MCID, PASS, and SCB at 5-year minimum follow-up for the Lysholm score, IKDC, and KOOS subscales in patients who underwent MAT. Increased BMI and patient age, male sex, performance of concomitant osteotomy, WC status, and preoperative PROM scores were associated with failure to achieve CSOs after primary MAT at a minimum of 5-year follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study, retrospective case series.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: There has been a shift in medical decision making from a paternalist model to a shared decision-making (SDM) approach, described as a patient-physician relationship where both parties collaborate to arrive on an evidence-based treatment regimen that best suits the patient's needs and values. However, there is a scarcity in evidence regarding SDM in shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate overall patient preference for SDM and determine demographic and socioeconomic factors related to SDM preference in those undergoing shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS: Patients aged 40-89 years who had undergone a total shoulder arthroplasty were enrolled. Two-part questionnaires were administered collecting patient demographic information and SDM subscale scores postoperatively. Bivariate and multivariate regression models were used to determine factors associated with SDM Total and subscale scores. RESULTS: A total of 125 patients (53 male; mean age, 69.5 ± 10.4 years) who had undergone primary total shoulder arthroplasty were included. The mean Total SDM score was -2.24 ± 1.9 and the Preoperative, Operative, and Postoperative SDM subscale scores were -1.54 ± 2.0, -2.59 ± 2.2, and -2.48 ± 2.1, respectively, indicating a preference for SDM in the Preoperative subscale and surgeon-driven decision making in the total score and other 2 subscales. Multivariate regression models demonstrated a preference for surgeon decision making at both the 4-12-week postoperative period for the Preoperative subscale (odds ratio [OR] -1.03, 95% CI -2.0, -0.1, P = .039) and the 2-4-week postoperative period for the Operative subscale (OR -1.74, 95% CI -3.4, -0.1, P = .038) when compared to patients at the 2-week postoperative period. No other variables were significantly associated with any of the SDM subscale scores or Total SDM score. CONCLUSION: Patients reported a more passive role in the decision-making process with an overall preference for a surgeon-led approach in primary total shoulder arthroplasty. Patients preferred a shared decision-making approach in regard to preoperative considerations but indicated a significant preference for surgeon-led decision making regarding day of surgery decisions. There were no correlations between SDM scores and age, sex, race, income, education level, insurance type, or treating surgeon. Overall, patients demonstrated a predilection for an SDM approach for preoperative considerations, contrary to those decisions associated with the day of surgery and postoperative care.

BACKGROUND: Acetabular retroversion may predispose to more severe femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and early labral damage given impaction of the femoral head-neck junction on the retroverted acetabular rim. The cross-over sign (COS), posterior wall sign (PWS), and ischial spine sign (ISS) are markers of acetabular retroversion (AR) on plain radiographs. METHODS: Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS from January 2012 to December 2018 with a positive PWS were matched in a 1:1 ratio by age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) to controls with a negative PWS. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcomes (PROs; HOS-ADL, HOS-SS, mHHS, and iHOT-12) were compared using independent t-tests. Achievement of a Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) or Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) was compared using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy five patients with a positive PWS and 275 controls were included in the final analysis. Most patients (64%) were female, with average age, and BMI of 37.6 (SD 8.6) and 25.1 (SD 4.4), respectively. PROs improved significantly for both groups from preoperatively to 2 years postoperatively. There were no statistically significant differences (P ≥ .05) in PROs or achievement of MCID or PASS. On a subgroup analysis, patients with all three positive signs had significantly lower postoperative PROs and lower rates of achievement of MCID and PASS. CONCLUSION: Patients with an isolated PWS achieve similar outcomes following hip arthroscopy at 2 years. However, patients with a concomitant PWS, ISS, and COS demonstrate less favorable outcomes, suggesting the need for increased perioperative counseling and potential evaluation for planned concurrent or serial open procedures such as periacetabular osteotomy.

PURPOSE: (1) To identify the most common reasons for presentation to the emergency department (ED) after hip arthroscopy and (2) to determine preoperative risk factors for these ED visits. METHODS: Patients undergoing elective hip arthroscopy between the start of 2014 and the third quarter of 2015 were retrospectively evaluated using discharge records from New York and Florida. The primary outcome was all-cause 7-, 30-, and 90-day ED utilization. Reasons for presentation to the ED were recorded and manually stratified. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of ED utilization. RESULTS: The overall rate of postoperative ED visits after hip arthroscopy was 1.8% at 7 days, 3.5% at 30 days, and 6.6% at 90 days. Postoperative pain was the most common reason for visiting the ED at all time points (25.4%, 23.7%, and 20.3%, respectively), followed by gastrointestinal complaints (19.5%, 15.0%, and 15.3%, respectively) and neurologic complaints (8.7%, 9.8%, and 10.5%, respectively). Female sex (relative risk [RR], 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.35-2.54; P < .001), Medicare insurance (RR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.41-4.04; P < .001), and Medicaid insurance (RR, 3.45; 95% CI, 2.37-5.04; P < .001) were identified as independent risk factors for ED utilization at 90 days postoperatively. Of all patients who presented to the ED, only 3.9% were admitted to the hospital. CONCLUSIONS: ED visits after elective hip arthroscopy are uncommon. The most common reason for a visit is postoperative pain, followed by gastrointestinal and neurologic complaints. After accounting for confounding, we found that female sex, Medicare and Medicaid insurance status, and hypertension were risk factors for all-cause ED visits at up to 90 days postoperatively. Only 4% of patients who present to the ED require inpatient hospital admission. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective cohort study.

PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this investigation was to systematically evaluate the literature for the current indications and outcomes of arthroscopic labral reconstruction of the hip. Our secondary purpose was to evaluate the role of arthroscopic labral reconstruction in the management of reparable labral tears. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using a PRISMA checklist. Studies published between June 2009 and June 2018 that evaluated outcomes after arthroscopic labral reconstruction with a minimum of 1 year of follow-up were included. RESULTS: Eleven studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 373 patients were identified. Of the 11 studies, 9 reported that an irreparable labrum was their indication for reconstruction, with 8 reporting that this was ultimately determined intraoperatively. Substantial variability in surgical technique, graft choice, and concurrent pathology was found. All 11 studies used at least 1 validated functional outcome metric to evaluate surgical outcomes, with all studies reporting improvement greater than the minimal clinically important difference. Donor-site pain was the most common complication, although it was reported in only 2 studies. Reported rates of revision surgery and conversion to arthroplasty were low (range, 0%-9.1% for both). CONCLUSIONS: All 11 studies included in this systematic review reported clinically significant functional improvements after arthroscopic labral reconstruction and low rates of complications, revision surgery, and progression of arthritis, although graft types and concomitant procedures confound the results. The most common indication for reconstruction was a deficient labrum on intraoperative evaluation. The 6 studies that evaluated patient satisfaction reported favorable results, with a range of 6.73 to 8.7. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.

PURPOSE: To determine the rate of and risk factors for 30-day unplanned admissions following hip arthroscopy in a U.S. METHODS: Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database using validated Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and Tenth Revision codes. Patient demographics, comorbidities, preoperative laboratory values, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes were compared between patients with unplanned admissions and those without. Univariate analysis comparing study cohorts was performed using 2-tailed Student t tests with Levene's test for equality of variance or χ2/Fisher exact tests as appropriate. Using variables that were significant in the univariate analysis, we created Cox proportional hazard models to identify independent predictors for unplanned admission. RESULTS: A total of 1931 cases of hip arthroscopy were identified. There were 18 cases of unplanned admissions within 30 days of index procedure (0.9%). The median time to unplanned admission was 14.5 days (interquartile range: 3.875-25.125 days). The most common reasons for admission were surgical-site infection (11.1%), wound complications (11.1%), and thromboembolic events (11.1%). There were 4 patients who required reoperation (22.2%). There were 7 cases (39.0%) that were readmitted for reasons unrelated to the index hip arthroscopy procedure. Multivariate analysis identified increasing body mass index, chronic corticosteroid use, and perioperative blood transfusion as factors independently associated with increased risk for unplanned admission. CONCLUSIONS: There exists a low incidence of 30-day unplanned admission, predominantly secondary to surgical-site infections, wound complications, and thromboembolic events. Independent risk factors for unplanned admission include greater body mass index, chronic corticosteroid use, and perioperative transfusions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III Retrospective Cohort Study.

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of various skin preparations at eradicating Propionibacterium acnes in the dermal layer of the skin. METHODS: Twelve healthy volunteers consented to participate in this study. Each subject's upper back was prepped using 4 different techniques: an isopropyl alcohol control, chlorhexidine gluconate paint, chlorhexidine gluconate plus a mechanical scrub, and a high-concentration chlorhexidine gluconate plus a mechanical scrub. A 3-mm dermal punch biopsy specimen was obtained at each preparation site. The 4 punch biopsy specimens were cultured for 14 days to assess for P. acnes growth. A Fisher's exact test was used to compare the proportion of positive cultures in each group and across biopsy sites. A Skillings-Mack test was used to compare the degree of culture positivity between the treatment arms. RESULTS: There were no reported complications in any of our subjects. P. acnes grew in 7 of the 12 control sites, 5 of the 12 chlorhexidine gluconate sites, 6 of the 12 chlorhexidine plus mechanical scrub sites, and 6 of the 12 high-concentration chlorhexidine gluconate plus mechanical scrub sites. There were no statistically significant differences between any of the treatment arms (P = .820). CONCLUSIONS: P. acnes persisted despite a variety of clinically relevant skin antisepsis preparations and techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prospective comparative study.

BACKGROUND: Rising health care expenditures and the adoption of bundled-care initiatives require efficient resource allocation for shoulder arthroplasty. To determine a reliable and accessible metric for implementing perioperative care pathways, we compared the accuracy of the Elixhauser Comorbidity Measure (ECM) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) for predicting adverse events and postoperative discharge destination after shoulder arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The National Inpatient Sample was queried for patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty between 2002 and 2014. Logistic regression models were constructed with basic demographic variables and either the ECM or the CCI to predict inpatient deaths, complications, extended length of stay, and discharge disposition. The predictive discrimination of each model was evaluated using the concordance statistic (C-statistic). RESULTS: We identified a total of 90,491 patients. The model incorporating both basic demographic variables and the complete set of ECM comorbidity variables provided the best predictive model, with a C-statistic of 0.867 for death, 0.752 for extended length of stay, and 0.81 for nonroutine discharge. The model's discrimination for postoperative complications was good, with C-statistics ranging from 0.641 to 0.879. CONCLUSION: A predictive model using the ECM outperforms models using the CCI for anticipating resource utilization following shoulder arthroplasty. Our results may assist value-based reimbursement methods to promote quality of care and reduce health care expenditures.

BACKGROUND: Wear of the bearing surface is a critical element in determining the longevity of a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Over the past decade, concerns related to modern metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings and corrosion at the femoral head-neck interface have influenced surgeon selection of bearing surfaces. The purpose of this study is to analyze trends in THA bearing surface selection from 2007 through 2014 using a large national database. METHODS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was used to extract bearing surface data from patients who underwent a primary THA between 2007 and 2014. Patients were grouped by bearing surface type: metal-on-polyethylene (MoP), ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP), MoM, and ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings. Descriptive statistics were employed to describe trends. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify differences between bearing surface groups. RESULTS: During the study period, 2,460,640 THA discharges were identified, of which 1,059,825 (43.1%) had bearing surface data. A total of 496,713 (46.9%) MoP, 307,907 (29.1%) CoP, 210,381 (19.9%) MoM, and 44,823 (4.2%) CoC cases were identified. MoM utilization peaked in 2008 representing 40.1% of THAs implanted that year and steadily declined to 4.0% in 2014. From 2007 to 2014, the use of CoP bearing surfaces increased from 11.1% of cases in 2007 to 50.8% of cases in 2014. In 2014, CoP utilization surpassed MoP which represented 42.1% of bearing surfaces that year. CONCLUSION: During the study period, MoM bearing surfaces decreased precipitously, while CoP surpassed MoP as the most popular bearing surface used in a THA.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a large population of shoulder arthroscopy cases in order to provide insight into the risk factors associated with readmission following this common orthopaedic procedure. METHODS: The American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried using current procedural terminology (CPT) billing codes to identify all patients older than 18 years of age who underwent shoulder arthroscopy between 2011 and 2013. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with 30-day readmission. RESULTS: We identified 15,015 patients who had undergone shoulder arthroscopy, with a 30-day readmission rate of 0.98%. The most common reason for readmission was pulmonary embolism (0.09%). On multivariate analysis, operative time > 1.5 hours (odds ratio [OR], 1.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29 to 2.50), age 40 to 65 years (OR, 3.80; 95% CI, 1.37 to 10.59), age > 65 years (OR, 3.91; 95% CI, 1.35 to 11.35), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 3 (OR, 4.53; 95% CI, 1.90 to 10.78), ASA class 4 (OR, 7.73; 95% CI, 2.91 to 27.25), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; OR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.54 to 4.55), and chronic steroid use (OR, 2.96; 95% CI, 1.46 to 6.01) were identified as independent risk factors for readmission. CONCLUSIONS: Operative time > 1.5 hours, age > 40 years, ASA classes 3 or 4, COPD, and chronic steroid use are independent risk factors for readmission following elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery, although the readmission rate following these procedures is low. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

PURPOSE: To identify the radiographic position of the origin and insertion of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee on a lateral radiograph. METHODS: Twelve unpaired, fresh-frozen cadaveric knees were dissected to expose the ALL. The origin and insertion of the ALL on each cadaver were then tagged using 2-mm radiopaque beads. True lateral fluoroscopic views of the knee were then obtained, and the distance from known radiographic landmarks was recorded by 2 reviewers. RESULTS: The origin of the ALL was found at a distance that is 37.0 ± 9.2% of the total anterior-posterior length of the femoral condyle from the posterior edge as measured along Blumensaat's line. The insertion was located at a distance that is 56.1 ± 6.9% of the total length of the tibial plateau from the posterior edge. The origin of the ALL is 5 mm posterior to a line from the posterior femoral cortex and 9 mm distal to a line along Blumensaat's line. The insertion is 4 mm anterior to the 50% mark of the anterior-posterior width of the tibia, 14 mm distal to the articular surface. CONCLUSIONS: The origin and insertion of the ALL can be accurately identified using intraoperative fluoroscopy. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Determining radiographic parameters for the ALL will assist in developing accurate surgical techniques for ALL reconstruction.

BACKGROUND: Shoulder arthroplasty procedures are becoming increasingly prevalent in the United States due to expanding indications and an aging population. Most patients are discharged home, but a subset of patients is discharged to a postacute care (PAC) facility. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for discharge to a PAC facility after shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample discharge records from 2011 to 2012 were analyzed for patients who underwent a total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). Patient and hospital characteristics were identified. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to determine the statistically significant risk factors for discharge to a PAC facility while controlling for covariates. RESULTS: In 2011 and 2012, 103,798 patients underwent shoulder arthroplasty procedures: 58,937 TSAs and 44,893 RTSAs were identified. RTSA patients were 1.3 times as likely to be discharged to a PAC facility as TSA patients (P = .001). Medicare patients were 2 times as likely to be discharged to a PAC facility than those with private insurance (P < .001). In addition, women and patients presenting with a fracture, older age, or an increasing number of medical comorbidities were more likely to be discharged to a PAC facility (P < .001). CONCLUSION: The risk factors identified in our study can be used to stratify patients at high risk for postoperative discharge to PAC, allowing for greater improvement in overall care and the facilitation of postoperative discharge planning.

BACKGROUND: The use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has significantly increased in recent years. However, there is large variance in reported complication rates and sparse data on implant survival. This study used a statewide patient database to investigate complication rates and implant survival for RTSA. METHODS: All patients undergoing RTSA or total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) from 2011 to 2013 were identified within a statewide database. The complication and revision rates at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively were determined. Potential risk factors for complications were analyzed with logistic regression, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare implant failure. RESULTS: During the 3-year period, 10,844 procedures (6,658 TSA; 4,186 RTSA) were found within the database. The all-cause complication rate at 90 days and 2 years postoperatively was significantly higher for RTSA (P < .001). RTSA patients had a significantly increased risk of infection (P < .05) and dislocation (P < .001) in the early and midterm postoperative course. Workers' compensation, male sex, preoperative anemia, and those aged younger than 65 years had a significantly higher risk for complications (P < .001). Although RTSA initially had a higher rate of implant failure than TSA during the early postoperative period, this rate equalized at approximately the 1-year mark. CONCLUSION: RTSA patients had significantly higher complication rates compared with TSA patients, with identifiable risk factors for all-cause complications postoperatively and equivalent accepted implant failure at 2 years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III; Cross Sectional Design; Large Database Analysis.

Distal semitendinosus tears have been infrequently reported in the radiology literature, and a detailed description of the anatomy and imaging features of these injuries is lacking. The semitendinosus tendon is clinically relevant, as it is frequently grafted in knee ligament reconstructions and plays an important role in performing competitive activities. We present a case of a 31-year-old man who developed a partial semitendinosus tear during competitive training. This case highlights the common clinical and imaging findings found with distal semitendinosus tears, and explores the various modalities available to treat this injury. We also review the clinically pertinent anatomy of the distal semitendinosus tendon and discuss the pitfalls that musculoskeletal radiologists may encounter, to avoid misdiagnosing these rare injuries.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to identify the most common reasons for and risk factors associated with postoperative emergency department (ED) utilization after orthopaedic procedures for sports-related injuries. METHODS: Using the 2014 to 2016 New York and Florida State Databases from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, outpatient procedures for sports-related injuries were identified. Patient records were tracked across care settings within each state to determine the rate and reasons of postoperative ED utilization within 90 days after the index surgery. Multiple logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors associated with ED visits at 0 to 7 days, 8 to 30 days, 31 to 90 days postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 28,192 surgery visits for sports-related injuries were identified, with knee arthroscopy with partial meniscectomy (18.48%) and arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (17.04%) as the two most common procedures treating sports injuries. The overall postoperative ED utilization rates were 1.6% (0 to 7 days postoperative), 1.3% (8 to 30 days) and 2.1% (31 to 90 days). The main cause of ED visits was markedly different during each postoperative period: mainly musculoskeletal pain (36.3%) during 0 to 7 days, either musculoskeletal pain (17%) or injury (16.6%) during 8 to 30 days, and injury (24.2%) during 31 to 90 days. Sports with the highest ED utilization in descending order were basketball, football, ice/snow sports, walking/running, cycling, and soccer. Relative to open procedures, arthroscopic procedures were 0.71 times as likely to result in a postoperative ED visit. Independent predictors of ED utilization up to 90 days postoperatively included renal failure, chronic pulmonary disease, psychosis, diabetes, and alcohol abuse. DISCUSSION: Rate of ED utilization after outpatient surgery for sports-related injuries is low (<2.2%), with postoperative musculoskeletal pain and reinjury as the two most common causes, highlighting the importance of postoperative pain management and injury prevention. Arthroscopic procedures showed markedly lower ED utilization compared with open surgery, although not indicative of overall superiority. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, Retrospective Cohort Study.

PURPOSE: To systematically review and meta-analyze studies reporting lateral center edge angle as it relates to patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures and clinically notable outcome assessments for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome or labral pathology with borderline dysplastic hips (BDH). METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, and the Web of Science Core Collection databases were queried for articles evaluating lateral center edge angle as a predictor of PRO after hip arthroscopy. Articles were eligible for meta-analysis if they compared PROs measures between patients with normal acetabular coverage and borderline dysplasia and were at least level III evidence. Continuous random-effects models with standardized mean differences were used to compare postoperative Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living and sports subscales, modified Harris Hip Score, international Hip Outcome Tool scores, Satisfaction, and Visual Analog Scale Pain scores between normal coverage and borderline dysplastic groups. RESULTS: Overall, 989 hips undergoing arthroscopy from six investigations were included in this meta-analysis, including 315 borderline dysplastic subjects (mean age 27.5 years) and 674 subjects with normal coverage (mean age 26.9 years). Borderline dysplastic and normal coverage cohorts were followed for an average of 37.0 and 36.8 months, respectively. Postoperative PRO measures (Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score-Sports Subscale, modified Harris Hip Score, international Hip Outcome Tool-12, Satisfaction, and Visual Analog Scale Pain) collected approximately three years after hip arthroscopy were not markedly different between subjects with BDH when compared with patients with normal coverage. CONCLUSIONS: In a meta-analysis of the available literature, patients with BDH are able to equally reach statistically similar clinical outcomes after isolated hip arthroscopy as compared with control subjects without dysplasia at short-term follow-up. A BDH should not be considered a contraindication to hip arthroscopy when optimal PRO achievement is the goal. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To determine the relationship between meniscus tear morphologies, stratified by location and pattern, and knee arthroplasty rates in a commercial insurance population. Methods: The PearlDiver database was queried for patients ≥35 years old with a meniscus tear of specified laterality and ≥2 years follow-up between 2015 and 2018. Two analyses were conducted with cohorts matched on age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, obesity, osteoarthritis (OA), and treatment (meniscectomy vs conservative): one with equal-sized subgroups by tear location (medial only, lateral only, or both medial and lateral) and another by tear pattern (bucket-handle, complex, or peripheral). The rate of subsequent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was compared between matched groups. Results: In total, 129,987 patients (mean age: 57.8 ± 10.5 years) were matched by tear location; 1,734 patients with medial-only tears (4.0%), 1,786 with lateral-only tears (4.1%), and 2,611 with medial plus lateral tears (6.0%) underwent a TKA within 5 years (P < .001). Patients with both medial and lateral tears were 1.55-fold more likely to undergo TKA. In total, 24,213 patients (mean age: 56.0 ± 10.5 years) were matched by tear pattern; 296 patients with bucket-handle tears (3.7%), 373 with complex tears (4.6%), and 336 with peripheral tears (4.2%) underwent TKA (P = .01). Patients with complex tears were 1.29-fold more likely to undergo TKA than patients with bucket-handle tears (P = .002). Conclusions: In matched cohorts of patients with degenerative meniscus tears, having both medial plus lateral tears conferred a 1.5-fold risk of TKA, whereas complex tears conferred a 1.3-fold risk within 5 years. Specific meniscal tear patterns and locations harbor varying risk in progressing to end-stage knee OA, and these data may help counsel patients about their likelihood of progressing to end-stage OA warranting an arthroplasty procedure. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.
RESUMO
The purpose of the current investigation was to synthesize the epidemiology, cause, management, and return to sport (RTS) outcomes of ilium avulsion fractures sustained during sporting activities in young athletes. Studies reporting on athletes <18 years old sustaining an avulsion fracture along the ilium [injury to the anterior superior or inferior iliac spine (ASIS or AIIS), or the iliac crest (IC)], and the athlete's RTS status were included. RTS was analyzed by injury acuity, location, mechanism of injury, and management, whereas complications were recorded. Seventy studies comprising 286 avulsions (169 ASIS, 87 AIIS, and 30 IC) were included. The mean age of athletes was 14.5 + 1.3 years (range, 8-18 years). Sprinting (n = 103/286; 36.0%) and soccer (n = 97/286; 33.9%) were the most common sports during which injuries occurred. A total of 96.5% (n = 276/286) of athletes reported successful RTS at an average of 16.2 + 19.3 weeks. The RTS rate for patients sustaining ASIS, AIIS, and IC avulsions was 95.3, 97.7, and 100%, respectively. Acute trauma was responsible for 89.8% (n = 158/176) of injuries, which demonstrated a significantly faster (13.3 + 9.3 weeks) and higher RTS rate (99.4%) compared with those with chronic avulsions (74.4 + 40.9 weeks and 83.3%, respectively). Those with complications (18.2%) had a significantly lower RTS rate (90.4%) and longer recovery (23.7 weeks) compared with athletes without complications (97.9% and 14.5 weeks, respectively). Outcomes were not significantly different based on sex or management. However, chronic avulsions and postoperative complications sustained worse RTS results. An accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial when presented with these rare injuries to avoid increasing the chronicity of injury.
