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.

To compare knee anatomical parameters of patients with failed anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) with those of a control group of sex-matched patients with successful ACL-R. ⋯ Level III retrospective prognostic trial.

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.
-
To report minimum 5-year follow-up results of concomitant hip arthroscopy followed by periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) to treat acetabular dysplasia and intra-articular pathology, such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears. ⋯ Level IV, case series.
