Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common pathology in athletes that often requires operative management in the form of hip arthroscopy. Purpose: To systematically review the rates and level of return to play (RTP) and the criteria used for RTP after hip arthroscopy for FAI in athletes. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic review of the literature, based on the PRISMA guidelines, was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases. Studies reporting outcomes after the use of hip arthroscopy for FAI were included. Outcomes analyzed were RTP rate, RTP level, and criteria used for RTP. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: Our review found 130 studies, which included 14,069 patients (14,517 hips) and had a mean methodological quality of evidence (MQOE) of 40.4 (range, 5-67). The majority of patients were female (53.7%), the mean patient age was 30.4 years (range, 15-47 years), and the mean follow-up was 29.7 months (range, 6-75 months). A total of 81 studies reported RTP rates, with an overall RTP rate of 85.4% over a mean period of 6.6 months. Additionally, 49 studies reported the rate of RTP at preinjury level as 72.6%. Specific RTP criteria were reported in 97 studies (77.2%), with time being the most commonly reported item, which was reported in 80 studies (69.2%). A total of 45 studies (57.9%) advised RTP at 3 to 6 months after hip arthroscopy. Conclusion: The overall rate of reported RTP was high after hip arthroscopy for FAI. However, more than one-fourth of athletes who returned to sports did not return at their preinjury level. Development of validated rehabilitation criteria for safe return to sports after hip arthroscopy for FAI could potentially improve clinical outcomes while also increasing rates of RTP at preinjury levels.

Object The purposes of this retrospective study were to determine the radiological changes at the index and adjacent levels after cervical arthroplasty using the Bryan disc and Prodisc-C disc after a minimum 24 months follow-up, and to demonstrate the possible clinical factors related to these changes. Methods Following single-level cervical arthroplasty using either the Bryan disc or Prodisc-C, the degree of facet degeneration and other radiological changes at the index and adjacent levels were assessed by observing radiographs and CT scans at a minimum 24 months after the operations. These findings were determined in relation to the clinical outcome, various perioperative factors, and prosthesis factors. Thirty-six patients were included in this investigation (19 in the Bryan disc group and 17 in the Prodisc-C group). Results At the index level, progression of facet arthrosis (PFA) was observed in 7 of 36 levels (1 level with the Bryan disc, 6 with the Prodisc-C). At adjacent levels, PFA was minimally observed. Heterotopic ossification (HO) was observed at 19 levels (11 with the Bryan disc, 8 with Prodisc-C). Progression of facet arthrosis at the index segments was positively related to malposition of the prosthesis on the frontal plane, and decreased postoperative functional spinal unit range of motion at the index level. Occurrence of HO was correlated with the preoperative calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament at the operated level, regardless of prosthesis type. Clinical outcome and the occurrence of PFA or HO did not show any significant relationship. Conclusions This study demonstrates that the incidence of PFA at the index level is 19.4% after a minimum 24-month follow-up, and occurs more frequently in the Prodisc-C group. Progression of facet arthrosis is related to less functional spinal unit range of motion and anterior placement of the prosthesis. The occurrence rate of HO is high, regardless of the type of prosthesis, and it is significantly correlated with preoperative calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament at the operated level.

AbstractConsiderations of how to improve postoperative outcomes for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have included preservation of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP). Although the IPFP is commonly resected during TKA procedures, there is controversy regarding whether resection or preservation should be implemented, and how this influences outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate how IPFP resection and preservation impacts postoperative flexion, pain, Insall-Salvati Ratio (ISR), Knee Society Score (KSS), patellar tendon length (PTL), and satisfaction in primary TKA. PubMed, EBSCO host, and SCOPUS were queried to retrieve all reports evaluating IPFP resection or preservation during TKA, which resulted into 488 studies. Two reviewers independently reviewed these articles for eligibility based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eleven studies were identified for final analysis, which reported on 11,996 cases. Patient demographics, type of surgical intervention, follow-up duration, and clinical outcome measures were collected and analyzed. Complete resection was implemented in 3,723 cases (31%), partial resection in 5,458 cases (45.5%), and preservation of the IPFP in 2,815 cases (23.5%). Clinical outcome measures included PTL (5 studies), knee flexion (4 studies), pain (6 studies), KSS (3 studies), ISR (3 studies), and patient satisfaction (1 study). No differences were found following IPFP resection for patient satisfaction (p = 0.98), ISR (p > 0.05), and KSS (p > 0.05). There was mixed evidence for PTL, pain, and knee flexion following IPFP resection versus preservation. Studies of shorter follow-up intervals suggested improved pain following resection, while reports of longer follow-up times indicated that resection resulted in increased pain. Given the mixed data available from the current literature, we were unable to conclude that one surgical technique can definitively be considered superior over the other. More extensive research, including randomized controlled trials, is required to better elucidate potential differences between the surgical handling choices. Future studies should focus on patient conditions in which one technique would be best indicated to establish guidelines for best surgical outcomes in those patients.

Background Hip arthroscopy represents a new and minimally invasive method of treating patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). However, participation in popular sports after this procedure has not yet been analyzed. Hypotheses Arthroscopic treatment of FAI increases the level of popular sports activities, and this level of activity correlates with the clinical outcome in terms of pain and function. Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods Fifty-three patients (41 male, 12 female) were evaluated preoperatively and after a mean follow-up of 2.4 years (range, 2-3.2 years) after arthroscopic osteoplasty for cam and mixed FAI. Evaluation included the type and level of sports activities (sports frequency score [SFS]) as well as clinical outcome in terms of pain (VAS) and function (nonarthritic hip score [NAHS]). Results Forty-five of the 53 patients had regularly participated in popular sports until the first occurrence of FAI symptoms. Preoperatively, only 4 of these 45 patients had maintained their accustomed level of activity. At the final follow-up, 31 patients had returned to their full accustomed level of activity. None of the patients who had not been active in sports before the first occurrence of symptoms of FAI (n = 8) had begun participation in sports after arthroscopic osteoplasty. The SFS significantly increased from 0.78 to 1.84 (P < .001), and the mean VAS pain score significantly improved from 5.7 (range, 1-9) to 1.5 (range, 0-6) points (P < .001). The NAHS improved from 54.4 (range, 28.75-92.5) to 85.7 (range, 47.5-100) (P < .001). There was no significant correlation between SFS and NAHS (r = .051, P = .35), as well as between SFS and VAS pain score (r = .159, P = .140) preoperatively, but a significant correlation was seen at the time of the last postoperative follow-up (SFS/NAHS: r = .392, P = .003; SFS/VAS: r = .242, P = .049). The 3 most frequent sports activities postoperatively were biking, hiking, and fitness. Conclusion Arthroscopic osteoplasty can significantly improve the rate and level of popular sports activities in patients with FAI. The level of postoperative sports activity directly correlates with the clinical outcome in terms of pain and function.

Abstract Background The C0 to C2 region is the keystone for range of motion in the upper cervical spine. Posterior procedures usually include a fusion of at least one segment. Atlantoaxial fusion (AAF) only inhibits any motion in the C1/C2 segment whereas occipitocervical fusion (OCF) additionally interferes with the C0/C1 segment. The purpose of our study was to investigate clinical outcome of patients that underwent OCF or AAF for upper cervical spine injuries. Methods Over a 5-year period (2010–2015), consecutive patients with upper cervical spine disorders were retrospectively identified as having been treated with OCF or AAF. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) were used to evaluate postoperative neck pain and health restrictions. Demographics, follow-up, and clinical outcome parameters were evaluated. Infection, hematoma, screw malpositioning, and deaths were used as complication variables. Follow-up was at least 6 months postoperatively. Results Ninety-six patients (male = 42, female = 54) underwent stabilization of the upper cervical spine. OCF was performed in 44 patients (45.8%), and 52 patients (54.2%) were treated with AAF. Patients with OCF were diagnosed with more comorbidities (p = 0.01). Follow-up was shorter in the OCF group compared to the AAF group (6.3 months and 14.3 months; p = 0.01). No differences were found related to infection (OCF 4.5%; AAF 7.7%) and revision rate (OCF 13.6%; AAF 17.3%; p > 0.05). Regarding bother and disability, no differences were discovered utilizing the NDI score (AAF 21.4%; OCF 37.4%; p > 0.05). A reduction of disability measured by the NDI was observed with greater follow-up for all patients (p = 0.01). Conclusion Theoretically, AAF provides greater range of motion by preserving the C0/C1 motion segment resulting in less disability. The current study did not show any significant differences regarding clinical outcome measured by the NDI compared to OCF. No differences were found regarding complication and infection rates in both groups. Both techniques provide a stable treatment with comparable clinical outcome.

Background: There has been a recent increase in the use of biologics in hip arthroscopy to assist in the management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Purpose: To analyze the current use of biologics for the treatment of FAI and its associated lesions. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A search of the PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE databases was performed in March 2019 with use of the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The criterion for inclusion was observational, published research articles studying the therapeutic use of biologics as an adjuvant therapy during arthroscopic surgery for FAI; treatments included bone marrow aspirate concentrate, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid, growth factors, and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) or autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC). Results: There were 9 studies that met the inclusion criteria, and a total of 674 patients were included across all studies. FAI was studied in all articles. Further, 7 studies (78%) also analyzed chondral injuries, and 3 studies also analyzed labral tears (33%). ACI or AMIC was used in 56% of studies and showed superior functional outcomes at short- and midterm follow-up versus debridement or microfracture. PRP did not improve the outcome of labral repairs at short-term follow-up. Conclusion: The current literature regarding biologic adjuncts in hip arthroscopy is varied in quality, with only one level 1 study. The use of ACI/AMIC for medium-sized chondral lesions showed promising results in individual studies; however, these were of lower quality. To enable comparisons among future studies, investigators must ensure accuracy in the reporting of biologic preparations and formulations used and homogeneity in the type and severity of lesion treated.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of diacutaneous fibrolysis in reducing musculoskeletal disorders symptoms such as pain, range of motion and functionality. Data sources: A systematic review of MEDLINE, Cochrane, PEDro and Science Direct was conducted until September 2020. Review methods: Computerized search strategy was performed to identify randomized controlled trials applying diacutaneous fibrolysis, on subjects with musculoskeletal disorders. Eligible articles and data extraction were conducted independently by two reviewers. Methodology quality and risk of bias were assessed by Risk of Bias 2 tool from the Cochrane Collaboration and Physiotherapy Evidence Database. Outcomes assessed were pain intensity, range of motion and functionality. Results: Search strategy identified 98 potential randomized control trials and six studies involving 386 participants, were finally included. Diacutaneous fibrolysis intervention added to usual physiotherapy treatment was compared to control group. Pain intensity immediately after treatment showed a pooled Standard Mean Difference (SMD) of –0.58 with 95% confidence interval (CI) from –1.12 to –0.04, and in the longest follow-up SMD was –0.63 with 95% CI (–1.21 to –0.05). Functionality showed a pooled SMD of –1.02 with 95% CI (–1.67 to –0.36) immediately after intervention and a SMD of –0.84 with 95% CI (–1.54 to –0.14). Range of motion could not be included in the quantitative synthesis. Conclusion: Diacutaneous fibrolysis is an effective treatment, when combined with conventional physiotheraphy, reducing pain immediately after treatment and long term follow-up and improving function in both, short and long term in musculoskeletal disorders.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of patients treated with limited immobilization and early motion after repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Thirteen consecutive patients with complete ruptures of the Achilles tendon were identified, repaired, and rehabilitated with early motion starting an average of 10 days after surgery. Active range of motion was begun at an average of 23 days and weightbearing in a walking boot was started at an average of 3.5 weeks after surgery. The average length of follow-up was 27 months. Twelve of 13 patients returned to running activities in an average of 3 months. All 12 patients who participated in lateral motion activities before their injury returned to similar activities in an average of 7 months. The patients rated their overall status at an average of 93% of their preinjury level. Follow-up Cybex testing demonstrated plantarflexion strength averaging 92%, plantarflexion power averaging 88%, and plantarflexion endurance averaging 88% of the nonindexed extremity. Early range of motion after Achilles repair is safe and there is no increased risk of rerupture in compliant patients. The patients achieved good return of plantarflexion strength, power, and endurance.
