To quantify the effect of saline solution injections on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and to determine whether this effect is clinically relevant by comparing it with minimal clinically important difference (MCID) criteria. ⋯ Level II, meta-analysis of Level I and II randomized controlled trials.

Comparative Study
Midterm Outcomes Following Repair of Capsulotomy Versus Nonrepair in Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement With Labral Repair.
The purpose of this study was to compare the midterm outcomes and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) rate in patients who had repair of the capsulotomy versus nonrepair following arthroscopic hip labral repair and correction of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Editorial Commentary: If You Can't See It, You Can't Treat It: Proper Hip Radiographic Views Are Critical.
Hip arthroscopy has become a common surgical treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and hip labral tears. In addition to being a complex procedure with a steep learning curve, understanding the required imaging to provide a comprehensive view of femoral cam deformities can be challenging. Because of the 3-dimensional anatomy of the hip joint, 2-dimensional imaging with plain radiographs may miss areas of pathomorphology that are not in the plane of the specific radiographic view.

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.

Comparative Study
Systematic Review of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Techniques: Comparison of Patellar Bone Socket and Cortical Surface Fixation Techniques.
To compare patellar bone socket and cortical surface fixation techniques for isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and determine whether there was a difference in (1) complication rates, including fracture of the patella; (2) redislocation rates; or (3) patient-reported outcomes. ⋯ Level IV, systematic review of Level I through IV studies.
