The 2018 Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting represents an opportunity to deepen one's understanding of a wide variety of topics. Arthroscopy journal readers have diverse practices and interests, and the meeting is designed to accommodate individual needs. ⋯ The articles are collated on our web site in Content Collections, to allow meeting participants to prepare and to allow those unable to attend to remain engaged. We offer suggestions and encourage readers to customize their own learning experience.

The primary purpose of this study was to systematically review high-quality studies in the literature to compare the postoperative radiographic incidence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) versus hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. The secondary purpose of this study was to compare other symptoms of postoperative knee OA between these 2 groups through patient-reported outcome scores and knee range of motion. ⋯ Level II, systematic review of Level I and II studies.
-
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) computer-adaptive testing (CAT) physical function and pain interference scores can detect early variations in postoperative outcomes following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and to determine whether age, sex, body mass index, mechanical symptoms, duration of symptoms, and the severity of chondrosis affect these scores. ⋯ Level IV case series.

To determine whether graft selection or patient age affects the following after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction: (1) rates of recurrent instability, (2) rates of postoperative complications (other than instability), and (3) subjective symptom improvement. ⋯ Level IV, systematic review of Level I to IV studies.

Comparative Study
Comparison of Short-term Complications After Rotator Cuff Repair: Open Versus Arthroscopic.
To define and compare the incidence and risk factors for short-term complications after arthroscopic and open rotator cuff repair (RTCR), and to identify independent risk factors for complications after RTCR. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative trial.
