To report minimum 5-year outcomes and rate of painful snapping resolution for patients who underwent iliopsoas fractional lengthening (IFL) as a part of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tear. In addition, to match this group to a group of patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAI and labral tear without internal snapping. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.
-
To report the outcomes of all-arthroscopic coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction and simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of glenohumeral pathologies in patients with symptomatic, chronic (>6 weeks), complete (Rockwood type III-V) acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) separations. ⋯ Level IV, case series.

The purpose of this study was to establish minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) after meniscectomy and factors associated with achieving these goals. ⋯ Clinically meaningful outcomes were established by patient self-assessment. Variables associated with achieving these outcomes include preoperative score (positively correlated with MCID/SCB, negatively correlated with PASS); workers' compensation; degenerative, medial-sided tears; and root tears (remaining negatively correlated with MCID/SCB/PASS). These variables should be accordingly measured for confounding in future outcome reporting.
