Introduction: Workers’ compensation (WC) claims have been associated with poor short-term outcomes after hip arthroscopy. We aim to report mid-term outcomes and return to work (RTW) among patients with WC claims. Methods: Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy between September 2008 and July 2011. Inclusion criteria were an active WC claim at time of surgery with preoperatively-documented patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Exclusion criteria were a previous hip condition and preoperative Tönnis grade >1. Patient-reported WC cases were pair-matched to non-WC cases based on body mass index (BMI) ± 5, age ± 5 years, gender, preoperative LCEA, labral treatment, and capsular treatment. Results: 52 patients had minimum 5-year outcomes. Mean age was 40.6 (±10.6) years and a mean BMI of 27.5 (±5.3). 9 (16.7%) hips underwent secondary arthroscopies. 5 hips (9.3%) were converted to THA. There were 5 (9.3%) reports of numbness, all of which resolved spontaneously. Work status details were available for 49 patients and 47 patients (95.9%) returned to work. 42 WC hips were matched to 42 control hips. At ⩾5-year follow-up, patient-reported outcomes, visual analogue scale (VAS) and satisfaction were not different between the groups. All magnitudes in improvement were significantly higher in the WC group ( p = < 0.001) except for VAS. No significant differences were found in rates of secondary arthroscopies, conversions to THA, or complications between the groups. Conclusions: WC patients have equal favourable mid-term outcomes as non-WC patients after hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement and labral pathology.

IntroductionSurvivors of polytrauma experience long-term and short-term burden that influences their lives. The patients’ view of relevant short-term and long-term outcomes should be captured in instruments that measure quality of life and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after a polytrauma. The aim of this systematic review is to (1) collect instruments that assess PROs (quality of life, social participation and activities of daily living) during follow-up after polytrauma, (2) describe the instruments’ application (eg, duration of period of follow-up) and (3) investigate other relevant PROs that are also assessed in the included studies (pain, depression, anxiety and cognitive function).Methods and analysisThe systematic review protocol is developed in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols statement. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and the trials registers ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform will be searched. Keywords, for example, ‘polytrauma’, ‘multiple trauma’, ‘quality of life’, ‘activities of daily living’ or ‘pain’ will be used. Publications published between January 2005 and the most recent date (currently: August 2016) will be included. In order to present the latest possible results, an update of the search is conducted before publication. The data extraction and a content analysis will be carried out systematically. A critical appraisal will be performed.Ethics and disseminationFormal ethical approval is not required as primary data will not be collected. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed publication.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017060825.

Objectives: (1) To compare the postoperative outcomes in patient who underwent multifilament knee reconstruction (MLKR) with or without internal brace augmentation and (2) To examine potential differences in outcomes of patients with different access to postoperative rehabilitation following MLKR. Methods: Adult patients sustaining a multifilament knee injury (MLKI) from 2007 to 2020 who were surgically treated by a single surgeon were retrospectively identified and invited to participate. Patients with incomplete follow up data were excluded. Data recorded included patient demographics, intraoperative procedure performed (with versus without use of internal brace), patient access to rehabilitation after surgery (limited versus full access) and postoperative patient reported outcomes. The last included the Multiligament Quality of Life Questionnaire (MLQOL), PROMIS Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) for Physical Function, Mobility, and Pain Interference, and the Lysholm Knee Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were conducted using STATA. Comparison of the postoperative outcomes was performed between patients who received or did not receive internal brace during MLKR and those who had limited versus full access to postoperative rehabilitation, using descriptive statistics (STATA). The level of statistical significance was set at <0.05. Results: A total of 85 (15 females,70 males) patients met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 62 patients (13 females, 49 males underwent MLKR without internal brace augmentation (NIB group) and 23 patients (2 females, 11 males) underwent MLKR with internal brace augmentation (IB group). Patient age and BMI were similar between the IB and NIB groups (Table 1). The mean follow-up time was 5.2+/-0.6 years on the NIB group and 1.5+/-0.1 years in the IB group (p<0.0001). The comparison of baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes in MLKR patients in the NIB and IB groups is shown in Table 1. There was no difference in any of the postoperative outcome scores between patients in the NIB and IB groups who underwent MLKR. Access to rehabilitation data were available for 83 patients. Of those, 69 patients (12 females, 57 males) had full access to rehabilitation and 17 patients (3 females, 14 males) had limited access to postoperative rehabilitation. The mean follow- up time was similar between patients with versus limited access to rehabilitation (mean time was 2.6 years and 2.2 years respectively, p=0.96). The baseline patient characteristics were similar between the last two subgroups. However, patients with limited access to postoperative rehabilitation had significantly lower PROMIS Pain (p=0.018) and PROMIS Physical Function (p=0.025) scores compared to patients with full access to rehabilitation. The comparison of baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes in MLKR patients with limited versus full access to postoperative rehabilitation is presented in Table 2. Conclusions: Internal bracing augmentation did not result in significant improvement of postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing MLKR, compared to the traditional technique without the use of internal brace, at short-term follow up. Postoperative rehabilitation is critical in patients who undergo MLKR, as patients with limited access to may experience worse outcomes at short term follow up in comparison to those who have full access to rehabilitation services. The socioeconomic status of the MLKR candidates should be examined preoperatively, and efforts should be made to grant these patients access to postoperative rehabilitation in order to optimize their clinical outcomes.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the short-term results of third generation (using screw fixation) Minimally Invasive Chevron and Akin osteotomies (MICA) for hallux valgus correction. There is a paucity of published data regarding the outcomes of this relatively new technique. We present the largest series in the literature, using three separate validated patient-reported outcome measures (EQ-5DL, VAS Pain and Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), for this time point. Methods: A single surgeon case series of patients with hallux valgus underwent primary third generation minimally invasive chevron and akin osteotomies (MICA) for hallux valgus correction. Between August 2015 and January 2019, 430 MICAs were performed in 295 patients that were eligible for 1 year follow up. Baseline and 1 year post-operative patient reported outcomes were collected for 242 feet in 194 patients (182 females; 12 males). Paired t-tests were used to determine the statistical significance of the difference between pre- and post-operative scores. Results: The mean age was 55.9 (range 16.3-84.9, standard deviation (s.d.) 12.5). At one year follow up, the mean MOXFQ scores had improved for each domain: Pain; baseline 41.9 (range 0-100, s.d. 21.8), reduced to 13.8 (range 0-90, s.d. 17.7, p<0.001); Walking; baseline 34.6 (range 0-100, s.d. 24.3) reduced to 9.8 (range 0-89.0, s.d. 18.0, p<0.001); Social interaction; baseline 45.4 (range 0-100, s.d. 22.8), reduced to 8.2 (range 0-75.0, s.d. 14.7, p<0.001). Mean VAS Pain score improved from 29.8 (range 0.0-90.0, s.d. 22.1) to 8.2 (range 0.00-64.0, s.d. 12.8, p<0.001). Mean EQ-5D index score improved from 0.755 (range 0.066-1.000, s.d. 0.136) to 0.891 (range 0.350-1.000, s.d. 0.124, p<0.001). Mean EQ-5D VAS score improved from 83.4 (range 28- 100, s.d. 12.4) to 85.6 (range 0-100, s.d. 14.2, p=0.047). Conclusion: This is the largest prospective case series of short-term patient reported outcomes using a validated assessment method for hallux valgus, following third generation MICA to date. These data show that this technique is effective at improving foot and ankle specific patient reported outcomes at 1 year. This cohort is being followed over the longer term.

Mean EQ-5D index score improved from 0.752 (range 0.066-1.000, s.d. 0.133) to 0.872 (range 0.122-1.000, s.d. 0.133, p<0.001). Mean EQ-5D VAS score remained static from 82.7 (range 0-100, s.d. 13.3) to 83.7 (range 0-100, s.d. 17.8, p=0.386). Conclusion: This is the largest prospective case series of short-term patient reported outcomes using a validated assessment method for hallux valgus, following third generation MICA to date. These data show that this technique is effective at improving foot and ankle specific patient reported outcomes at 6 months. This cohort is being followed over the longer term.

Objectives: Irreparable massive rotator cuff tears, particularly those that occur in younger patients, represent a particularly challenging clinical scenario with limited options. Treatments such as reverse total shoulder arthroplasty are typically not well indicated for this patient population. We compared two treatment methods, latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) vs arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR), to determine if one is superior to the other regarding improvement in range of motion (ROM) and patient reported outcomes (PROs). We hypothesize that both treatments would have similar outcomes regarding functional restoration and subjective outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study assessed 43 patients with an irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear after failed conservative or surgical treatment who underwent either LDTT (14 patients, 16 shoulders) or SCR (27 patients, 27 shoulders). Patients with a minimum of 6 month follow-up were included (mean follow up: 17.9 months, 14.9 months respectively). Changes in preoperative and postoperative forward flexion and external rotation were evaluated. Patient reported outcomes (PROs) including ASES, VAS, and SSV were assessed. T-test and Chi-Square statistical tests were performed. Results: The mean age at the time of surgery was 59.9yo vs 60yo for LDTT and SCR respectively (p=0.98). There were significantly more patients in the LDTT group that had undergone prior rotator cuff surgery (p<0.005) and significantly greater number of patients who had subscapularis tears which required repair in patients that underwent SCR (p<0.01). There was no difference in gender (p=0.75). Both cohorts demonstrated similar improvement in forward flexion with mean active forward flexion improving from 123° (90-160°) pre-operatively to 139° (80-180°) postoperatively in the LDTT group (p=0.157) and 85° (0-170°) preoperatively to 138° (40-175°) postoperatively in the SCR group (p =0.001). The average improvement in forward flexion was significantly greater in the SCR group with an improvement of 52° for SCR vs 14° for LDTT (p=0.035). External rotation improved in the LDTT cohort from 41° preoperatively (10-60°) to 62° (10-80°) (p=0.032) while external rotation stayed unchanged for the SCR cohort with 43° preoperatively (0-70°) to 44° (20-80°) postoperatively (p=0.868). The improvement in external rotation was significantly greater in the LDTT cohort with improvement of 19° vs 0.5° in the SCR group (p=0.011). There was no significant difference in reported ASES scores (LDTT: 65.6 vs SCR:70.9)(p=0.569), VAS (LDTT:1.78 vs SCR 2.26) (p=0.645), or SSV (LDTT:55 vs SCR:72.6) (p=0.087). Conclusion: LDTT and SCR both result in functional improvement of motion with SCR improving forward flexion to a greater extent and LDTT improving external rotation to a greater extent. Patient reported outcomes are similar between the two groups at short term follow up. Longer term outcomes are necessary before determining whether one treatment is optimal over the other as well as establishing the appropriate indications for each. [Table: see text]

Abstract The shelf procedure is a treatment of acetabular dysplasia, with the aim of increasing weight-bearing acetabular coverage. Although several shelf techniques have been described, the endoscopic procedure with concomitant hip arthroscopy is a new, less invasive alternative. Outcomes following this procedure are scarce. The purpose of this study was to report short-term patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following concomitant hip arthroscopy and endoscopic modified shelf procedure in the setting of acetabular dysplasia and labral tears. Patients that met extraordinarily selective surgical indications and underwent the abovementioned surgery between February 2016 and October 2019 and had minimum 1-year follow-up were included. There were five females with a mean age of 40.18 ± 5.05 years and follow-up of 21.55 ± 8.68 months. The lateral center-edge angle increased from 15.80° to 23.20° (P = 0.003), and vertical center-edge angle increased from 16.60° to 23.60° (P &lt; 0.001). The Tönnis angle decreased from 15.40° to 3.74° (P &lt; 0.001). The alpha angle decreased from 58.46° to 40.70° (P &lt; 0.001). PROs demonstrated significant improvement at latest follow-up (modified Harris Hip Score, P = 0.042; Non-Arthritic Hip Score, P &lt; 0.001; Hip Outcome Score–Sports Specific Subscale, P = 0.035; Visual Analog Scale, P &lt; 0.001; International Hip Outcome Tool-12, P = 0.043), and satisfaction was 8.60 ± 0.89. No secondary surgeries were reported. Concomitant hip arthroscopy and endoscopic modified shelf procedure appears to be a safe and effective procedure for patients with acetabular dysplasia and labral tears yielding favorable outcomes and satisfaction at short-term follow-up.
