Comparative Study
A Longitudinal Comparison of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System to Legacy Scales in Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy Patients.
The purpose of this prospective correlational study was to compare the psychometric properties of the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scales with those of traditional legacy scales over a longitudinal postoperative period in patients undergoing arthroscopic procedures. ⋯ Level II, prospective comparative study (with not all participants completing follow-up).

Review Meta Analysis
Regenerative Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis and Chondral Defects: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on cartilage regeneration and patient-reported pain and function. ⋯ II, Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
-
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-articular mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) injections for knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. ⋯ I, meta-analysis of level I studies.
-
We sought to identify the immediate postoperative differences in opioid use, pain scores, and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) length of stay (LOS) after hip arthroscopy related to the type of anesthesia used for the surgical procedure. ⋯ III, Retrospective Comparative Study.
