On the Cover: Right arthroscopic hip labral repair with visualization from the anterolateral (AL) portal. Patient is supine. An anchor guide is secured to the acetabular rim above the labrum (L). The repair suture (RS) is passed through the chondrolabral junction with suture-passing device and then retrieved intra-articularly. Then, the repair suture is passed into a knotless anchor through a shuttle suture and around the labral tissue. Finally, as illustrated tension is applied to create an eversion-type construct.

Computer-Assisted Arthroscopic Cam Resection
Determining the appropriate femoral cam resection during hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is both critical for the patient and challenging for the surgeon. Incomplete bone resection is a leading cause of failed hip arthroscopy, whereas over-resection may increase the risk of femoral neck fracture. The alpha angle is a validated 2-dimensional radiographic measurement used to both diagnose femoroacetabular impingement syndrome preoperatively and to determine resection adequacy postoperatively.

ACL Repair or Reconstruction With Internal Bracing, for Properly Indicated Patients, Is Safe, Biocompatible, and Biomimetic
ACL reconstruction with internal bracing (IB), and ACL repair with IB when indicated, reduces graft or repair failure. IB is safe and protects ligament reconstruction and repairs. It should not be misunderstood as a synthetic ligament. To be effective, suture tape must be independently secured with the knee in full extension, reflecting the terminal length of the ACL. Regardless of graft type the graft must be cyclically tensioned independent of the IB to allow for creep, and when properly performed, this significantly increases the ultimate tensile strength of the construct and reduces graft elongation, without stress shi...

Hip Capsular Preservation When Treating Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Should Remain Universal and Some Hip Phenotypes Necessitate Maximum Surgical Stability
Hip capsular preservation literature shows varying outcome. Capsular preservation is most common in the United States. Different surgeons prefer, and different patients require simpleperiportal capsulotomies versus wider exposure with T-type capsulotomy and traction stitches. Revision cases require wider expose. Paramount is adequate bony decompression in patients with FAI, but capsular preservation may also be universally recommended. Finally, in addition to revision indications, some hip phenotypes may require more aggressive capsular management. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

Higher Return to Sport and Lower Revision Rates when Performing Arthroscopic Bankart Repair with Remplissage for Anterior Shoulder Instability with a Hill-Sachs Lesion: A Meta-Analysis
Recurrent anterior shoulder instability remains the most common complication from a prior shoulder dislocation, especially among young and active individuals who engage in athletic activities. This instability can lead to repeated subluxation or dislocations of the humeral head from the glenoid fossa. The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative recurrence rates, instability-related revision and return to sport (RTS) rates between isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) and ABR with remplissage (ABR+R) for anterior shoulder instability with subcritical glenoid bone loss (GBL) and a Hill-Sachs lesion (HSL). (Sou...

Editorial Commentary: Hip Capsular Preservation When Treating Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Should Remain Universal, and Some Hip Phenotypes Necessitate Maximum Surgical Stability
Hip capsular preservation remains most common in the United States despite literature to-date showing varying outcomes. Different surgeons prefer, and different patients require, periportal capsulotomies versus wider exposure with T-type capsulotomy and traction stitches. In addition to revision cases, some hip phenotypes may require more aggressive capsular management. Patients with borderline hip dysplasia, acetabular retroversion, increased femoral anteversion, and greater Beighton scores necessitate more hip stability; thus, capsular preservation and closure is essential.

Editorial Commentary: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair or Reconstruction With Internal Bracing, for Properly Indicated Patients, Is Safe, Biocompatible, and Biomimetic
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with internal bracing (IB) —and ACL repair with IB when indicated—reduces graft or repair failure. IB is safe and protects ligament reconstructions and repairs. The IB construct should not be misunderstood as a synthetic ligament. To be effective, suture tape must be independently secured with the knee in full extension, reflecting the terminal length of the ACL.

All-Inside ACL Reconstruction Produces Excellent Results: Adjustable cortical suspensory fixation provides rigid tibial fixation for all ages.
All-inside ACL reconstruction is the most minimally invasive ACL reconstruction technique available. Systematic review and meta-analysis shows equally excellent outcomes for all-inside ACL reconstruction as compared to full tibial tunnel ACL reconstruction. Advantages of all-inside technique may include improved tibial side fixation, improved stability, less tunnel (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

All-inside anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the most minimally invasive ACL reconstruction technique available. Systematic review and meta-analysis show equally excellent outcomes for all-inside ACL reconstruction as compared with full tibial tunnel ACL reconstruction. Advantages of the all-inside technique may include improved tibial side fixation, improved stability, less tunnel widening, improved cosmesis, and less postoperative pain. Interference screw fixation using a full tibial tunnel technique can be complicated by inferior proximal tibial bone density. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscop...

The minimum effective concentration (MEC90) of bupivacaine for an ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block for analgesia in knee surgery: a dose-finding study
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the MEC90 and MEC95 values for bupivacaine administered via an SFICB for analgesia were 0.123% and 0.188%, respectively. One advantage of using lower concentrations of bupivacaine is the associated reduction in quadriceps weakness.PMID:38480982 | DOI:10.4097/kja.23710 (Source: Korean Journal of Anesthesiology)
