The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on measurement of muscle strength in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and other pathologies and to suggest guidelines to standardise protocols for future research in the field. The Cochrane and PubMed libraries were searched for any publications using the terms ‘hip’, ‘muscle’, ‘strength’, and ‘measurement’ in the ‘Title, Abstract, Keywords’ field. A further search was performed using the terms ‘femoroacetabular’ or ‘impingement’. The search was limited to recent literature only.Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine whether there is any significant
difference in temporal measurements of pain, function and rates
of re-tear for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) patients compared
with those patients undergoing open RCR. This study compared questionnaire- and clinical examination-based
outcomes over two years or longer for two series of patients who
met the inclusion criteria: 200 open RCR and 200 arthroscopic RCR
patients. All surgery was performed by a single surgeon. Objectives
