Osteochodral Autograft and Allograft Show Favorable Outcomes For High Grade Hip Femoral Cartilage Lesions but Caution Is Required for Impaction Injuries and Osteonecrosis
Articular cartilage defects of the hip pose therapeutic challenges. Among patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), over 20% may have partial or full thickness chondral damage, and patients with high grade (ICRS Grade 3 or 4) damage who undergo arthroscopic treatment of FAIS have higher rates of re-operation at ten-year follow up. Arthroscopic and open techniques have been developed to translate cartilage restoration options initially developed in the knee for use in the hip.

Collagen Bridging of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Using Fascia Lata Autograft Could Provide a Lasting Solution
Shoulder rotator cuff tears are ideally primarily repaired, but large and massive, chronic, and/or retracted tears result in challenges. In response, innovative solutions include superior capsular reconstruction, tendon transfers, subacromial balloon spacer, tuberoplasty, partial repair, and marginal convergence. Recently, an innovation is to use collagen tissue to bridge repair of compromised tendon. Recent research using fascia lata autografts for supraspinatus tendon reconstruction in a rat model shows positive outcomes with structural similarity to normal muscle-tendon interface, decreased fatty infiltration, and incre...

Biologic Augmentation of Rotator Cuff Repair: PRP May Be of Significant Benefit, Whereas Atelocollagen Can Not Be Recommended
The field of orthobiologics continues to advance at a rapid pace, and theoretically holds some promise to augment the biologic healing response in rotator cuff repair. However, the clinical evidence for use of substances such as platelet-rich plasma for rotator cuff repair remains inconclusive. Atelocollagen, as a synthetic collagen substitute, has been proposed as another alternative to provide more collagen substrate for healing, but outcomes data with this technique is lacking. As biologic augmentation options continue to push the envelope on indications, due diligence is required to carefully examine options for safety...

Psychological Resilience Promotes Positive Outcomes After Surgery
The significance of psychological factors in orthopaedic surgery has long been underestimated. High psychological resilience plays a significant role in achieving a positive postoperative outcome in terms of mental health, pain, and functional outcomes. This underscores the need for a more holistic approach to patient care, one that considers not only the physical aspects of treatment but also the emotional and psychological well-being of patients. This may involve implementing strategies to enhance resilience, providing support resources for coping with the challenges of surgery and recovery, and fostering open communicat...

The Purpose of Journal Peer Review is to Make Articles Better
Authors may have the misconception that the purpose of peer review is to serve as an arbiter or referee, or in other words, to make a binary, Accept After Revision versus Reject, decision whether or not an article will be published in our journal. In truth, while making that difficult decision is part of the process, it is only a part. The principal goal of peer review is to make articles better.

High Platelet Dose PRP May be the Nonoperative Treatment of Choice for Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects 30% of individuals over 60 and 40% over 70 years old. The incidence of radiological knee OA is 373 per 10,000 person-years, but symptomatic knee OA registers as a considerably lower rate of 50 per 10,000 person-years. For symptomatic cases that are not candidates for surgical intervention, various treatment options include exercise, weight loss, pharmacological management, bracing, physical therapy, oral supplementation, and intra-articular injection with corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or orthobiologics such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
