There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular procedures such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose was to determine the rate of subsequent

In the young and highly active population of military patients, femoroacetabular impingement can be a source of serious disability as well as a threat to their career. This morbidity can be treated with
Young adult hip pathology commonly affects patients of reproductive age. The extent to which
The gold standard treatment of hip dysplasia is a peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO). Labral tears are seen in the majority of patients presenting with hip dysplasia and diagnosed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The goal was to (1) evaluate utility/value of MRI in patients undergoing
Aims. Responsiveness and ceiling effects are key properties of an outcome score. No such data have been reported for the original English version of the International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) at a follow-up of more than four months. The aim of this study was to identify the responsiveness and ceiling effects of the English version iHOT-12 in a series of patients undergoing

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common paediatric orthopaedic problem. Open reduction and debridement of the hip joint in neonates is necessary to ensure a congruent reduction in some patients. Despite advances in the treatment of DDH, the various surgical approaches are not without limitations and risks. The development of
There is a known association between femoroacetabular impingement and osteoarthritis of the hip. What is not known is whether arthroscopic excision of an impingement lesion can significantly improve a patient’s symptoms. This study compares the results of

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in adolescents and young adults. There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular work such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose was to determine the rate of subsequent
We have investigated whether the pattern of subchondral acetabular cyst formation reflects hip pathology and may provide a prognostic indicator for treatment. A single surgeon series of sequential
Arthroscopic procedures are increasingly performed for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The Non-Arthroplasty Hip Register (NAHR) collects data including the iHOT12 and EQ5D. However there is currently little evidence of its usefulness in assessing

Aims: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common paediatric orthopaedic problem. Open reduction and debridement of the hip joint in neonates is necessary to ensure a congruent reduction in some patients. Despite advances in the treatment of DDH, the various surgical approaches are not without limitations and risks. The purpose of this study was: (a) to design a suitable animal model of DDH for the purpose of designing and evaluating
Background.
Orthopaedic surgeons frequently use opioids for peri-operative pain management and there is considerable variability in the amount prescribed between surgeons. As such, the appropriate number of opioids to prescribe for specific procedures is often unknown. Leftover prescription opioids are at risk for diversion to family and friends for nonmedical use. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal amount of narcotics to prescribe postoperatively for patients undergoing
This study used a national registry to assess the outcomes of
Labral tears can lead to disabling hip pain however underlying structural (femoroacetabular impingement) and developmental abnormalities predisposing to labral pathology may be left untreated if the peripheral compartment is ignored during
Surgical trainees are finding it increasingly more challenging to meet operative requirements and coupled with the effects of COVID-19, we face a future of insufficiently trained surgeons. As a result, virtual reality (VR) simulator training has become more prevalent and whilst more readily accepted in certain arthroscopic fields, its use in
Over an eight-month period we prospectively enrolled 122 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery of the hip for femoroacetabular impingement and met the inclusion criteria for this study. Patients with bilateral

Previous authors have suggested that the analgesic effects of intra-articular morphine may be beneficial. Clonidine has been found to potentiate the analgesic effect of morphine. Following knee arthroscopy, morphine has demonstrated equivocal effect in comparison to bupivicaine for analgesia while circumventing the issue of chondrotoxicity. There have been no studies evaluating the effect of intra-articular morphine following

Arthroscopic management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has become the mainstay of treatment. However, chondral lesions are frequently encountered and have become a determinant of less favourable outcomes following arthroscopic intervention. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the outcomes of
