Hip Arthroscopy in Patients with Spine Pain: Outcomes Vary Compared to Patients with Isolated Hip Pathology, but Many Hip-Spine Patients Do Just as Well
Low back pain present concurrently with hip impingement or labral pathology is frustrating for both patient and surgeon. It is difficult to distinguish true hip pathology from secondary low back symptoms, even with the use of diagnostic injections, cross-sectional imaging, electromyography, and/or nerve conduction studies. In addition, even properly indicated hip arthroscopy can exacerbate sciatic nerve dysfunction, a known complication from traction, and altered gait in the early postoperative period can aggravate sacroiliac and lumbar pathology.

Promising Outcomes of Suture Tape Augmentation in Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
The management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries continually evolves with new interest in all-sort tissue quadriceps tendon autograft, and new interest in suture tape augmentation of the graft, particularly in high-risk patients with young age; female sex; lower limb alignment, tibial, or femoral abnormalities; hyperlaxity; concomitant meniscal and/or additional ligamentous injuries; or participation in high-risk sports. Load sharing suture tape enhances biomechanical stability of the reconstructed ACL, especially during the initial ingrowth and ligamentization phase, and biomechanical evidence highlights reduce...

Complete Cam Resection Results in Best Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement
An aspherical hip can mechanically damage the joint and lead to chondrolabral injury, functional pain, and potentially arthritis. Hip arthroscopy to address femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and make the hip spherical, with treatment of concomitant labral pathology, can result in excellent outcomes in patients with this pathology. The goal is complete cam resection. Cam pathology comes in many shapes, locations, and sizes — from smaller, anterolaterally located lesions to larger, pistol group lesions that extend more superiorly and lateral.

Arthroscopic Subscapular Sling Procedure for Anterior Glenohumeral Instability Has Limitations: Dynamic Anterior Stabilization Using Long Head of Biceps Tendon May Represent a More Favorable Alternative
Anterior shoulder instability is a common. Cases of mild glenoid bone loss are typically addressed with conventional arthroscopic Bankart repair procedures, whereas more critical glenoid bone loss often necessitates more invasive, bone blocking procedures. Recently, for cases that fall between the need of arthroscopic repair and open procedures, surgeons have developed methods for using soft tissue grafts in order to create a “sling” effect and augment glenoid labral repair. The subscapular sling procedure aims to restore stability by introducing a semitendinosus autograft into the glenohumeral joint to reconstruct the...

Latarjet for Anterior Shoulder Instability Literature Shows Limited Reporting of Outcomes in Females: Females Show Similar Outcomes but Higher Rate of Emergency Room Visits and Possible Higher Rates of Complications
It has been reported that use of the Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability from 2008-2019 increased 250%. With the rise in utilization, it is imperative to minimize complications. At present, the majority of the literature focuses on male patients, with scant evidence regarding female patients. Outcomes are similar comparing female to male patients, but female patients have higher emergency department postoperative visits than males, requiring specific attention during the post-operative period.

Letter to the Editor Regarding “Rotator Cuff Tears are Significantly More Frequent in Recurrent Shoulder Instability Patients With Initial Dislocation at Age 40 or Older”
The study “Rotator Cuff Tears are Significantly More Frequent in Recurrent Shoulder Instability Patients With Initial Dislocation at Age 40 or Older” was designed to determine if recurrent shoulder dislocation after a first dislocation at an older age was associated with a higher rate of rotator cuff defe cts1. The implication is that the rotator cuff defects may contribute to shoulder instability. But only 7 of 28 patients (25%) of older patients had a full thickness defect larger than 1 centimeter.

Biceps Management During Rotator Cuff Tear: Confounding Variables Result in Unclear Indications
Is “killing the biceps” during rotator cuff repair a capital crime or a lawful act? One of the most passionately debated topics in shoulder surgery is what to do with the biceps during rotator cuff repair: save, tenotomize, or tenodese. Results of repair are not very successful, and as repair of ma ssive rotator cuff tears shows a 40-57% failure rate, there is renewed interest in sparing the biceps tendon as a humeral head depressor, or so that it may be used as a local graft for revision rotator cuff repair.

Single Dose IV Tranexamic Acid is Safe for use in Hip Arthroscopy

Subacromial Surgery for Irreparable Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears
The irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear describes a tear of the supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus tendon that is massive, contracted, and immobile in both the anterior –posterior and medial–lateral directions. Patients with an intact subscapularis and preserved forward elevation are challenging to treat because there is not a consensus treatment algorithm. For low-demand, elderly patients, several subacromial surgical options are available that can provide pai n relief without the risks or burden of rehabilitation posed by reverse total shoulder arthroplasty or a complex soft-tissue reconstruction (e.g., sup...
