To establish the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) after arthroscopic meniscal repair and identify the factors associated with achieving these outcomes. ⋯ IV, retrospective case series.
-
The purpose of this systematic review is to ascertain the reported clinical outcomes and complication profiles of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction performed using a superficial "swing-down" quadriceps tendon autograft. ⋯ Systematic review of Level III and IV studies.
-
To report minimum 2-year follow-up patient-reported outcome scores (PROs) in borderline dysplastic female patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with femoroplasty, labral repair, iliopsoas fractional lengthening, and plication of the capsule (FLIP procedure) for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), labral tear, and painful internal snapping and to compare these PROs to a propensity-matched borderline dysplastic control group without painful internal snapping. ⋯ III; Case-Control study.

There were 2 main purposes in this study: (1) to report on clinical outcomes of the Latarjet procedure without remplissage in athletes with glenoid bone defects greater than 25% and off-track Hill-Sachs lesions and (2) to determine whether the isolated Latarjet procedure converted off-track Hill-Sachs lesions to on-track Hill-Sachs lesions as measured on computed tomography (CT). ⋯ Level IV, retrospective case series.

Increased tibial slope is associated with increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the skeletally immature. Recent studies, however, emphasize a mutual influence, as tibial slope has been shown to increase over time in the ACL-deficient skeletally immature knee. ⋯ In the skeletally immature knee, especially, the soft tissue geometry is thought to have significant impact on ACL injury risk. However, it remains unknown whether alteration of the meniscal slope may represent a causality of ACL deficiency.
