The goal of this study is to analyze postoperative complications after shoulder arthroscopy stratified by body mass index (BMI) and to quantify the trade-off in postsurgical complications and access to care that occurs with BMI eligibility cutoffs. ⋯ Level III, comparative prognostic trial.

Comparative Study
Body Mass Index as a Risk Factor for 30-Day Postoperative Complications in Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Arthroscopy.
To use the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to determine whether body mass index (BMI) is associated with 30-day postoperative complications following arthroscopic surgery. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction: A Comparison of Single-Bundle Transpatellar Tunnel and Double-Anchor Anatomic Techniques for the Treatment of Recurrent Lateral Patellar Dislocation in Adults.
To compare the stability and clinical outcomes of 2 medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) techniques for the treatment of recurrent lateral patellar dislocation in adults. ⋯ Level II, prospective comparative study.

Observational Study
Risk Factors for Cerebral Desaturation Events During Shoulder Surgery in the Beach Chair Position.
The goals of this study were 2-fold: (1) to determine the risk factors for cerebral desaturation events (CDEs) after implementation of a comprehensive surgical and anesthetic protocol consisting of patient risk stratification, maintenance of normotensive anesthesia, and patient positioning in a staged fashion, and (2) to assess for subclinical neurologic decline associated with intraoperative ischemic events through cognitive testing. ⋯ Level II, prospective observational study with >80% follow-up.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Adductor Canal Nerve Versus Femoral Nerve Blockade for Pain Control and Quadriceps Function Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Patellar Tendon Autograft: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
To compare femoral nerve blockade (FNB) versus adductor canal nerve blockade (ACB) for postoperative pain control and quadriceps muscle function in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with patellar tendon autograft. ⋯ Level I, prospective randomized controlled trial.
