The purpose of this study was to evaluate the greater than 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction of patients who were treated with hip arthroscopy for snapping iliopsoas tendons that were painful with concomitant acetabular dysplasia and who underwent iliopsoas lengthening for symptomatic iliopsoas tendon snapping with concomitant capsular plication and treatment of hip impingement. Secondary measures included observation of the change in the Tönnis grade at greater than 2 years' follow-up. ⋯ Level IV, case series.

Editorial Commentary: Meniscus Transplantation With or Without Bone Blocks: If You Don't Have to Break It, Don't.
The C-shaped meniscus cartilages normally insert into bone around the tibial spines of the knee. As the knee joint rotates and flexes, circumferential hoop stresses are generated within the tissue, resisted by the collagen fibers that define both the insertion points and the ultrastructure of the meniscus tissue itself. For a transplanted meniscus to work normally, the biomechanical interface of the collagen fibers to the bone must be recreated.

Bicipital tunnel disease is often unvisualized during standard diagnostic arthroscopy. Histolopathologic evidence of disease may be present even in the absence of magnetic resonance imaging findings. Surgical decision making is multifactorial.
