Transcultural adaptation of the Korean version of the Hip Outcome Score.
The Hip Outcome Score (HOS) is a questionnaire commonly used to assess the clinical outcome of patients after hip arthroscopy. However, a Korean version of the HOS is not available. The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the HOS questionnaire into the Korean language and then assess the psychometric properties of this instrument. ⋯ Therapeutic case series with no comparison group, Level IV.

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the popliteus complex: accuracy and reproducibility of a new surgical technique.
With combined PCL reconstruction and a minimal invasive (extra-anatomical) Larson's procedure, dorsal instability can be reduced by about 50-70 %. Better results are described by open and more anatomical procedures. In this study, a new, standardized, arthroscopic technique for anatomical popliteus tendon (PLT) reconstruction is evaluated. ⋯ III.

Are meniscal tears and articular cartilage injury predictive of inferior patient outcome after surgical reconstruction for the dislocated knee?
A paucity of data exists on the effects of articular cartilage and meniscal injury in the setting of knee dislocations. The purpose of this study is to determine whether concomitant intra-articular injuries at the time of multiligament reconstruction for knee dislocation are associated with inferior outcomes. ⋯ IV.
