Background: Studies on the clinical outcomes of derotational femoral osteotomy to treat recurrent patellar dislocation in the presence of increased femoral anteversion are limited. Purpose: To investigate the role of derotational femoral osteotomy in the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation in the presence of increased femoral anteversion. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) by searching the Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases through February 10, 2021. Included were studies of skeletally mature patients presenting with recurrent patellar dislocation and exhibiting increased femoral anteversion who subsequently underwent derotational femoral osteotomy. Methodological quality was assessed using the MINORS (Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies) score. The basic characteristics of each study were recorded and analyzed: characteristic information, radiological parameters, surgical techniques, patient-reported outcomes, and complications. Results: A total of 6 studies with 163 patients (170 knees) were included. Sample sizes ranged from 7 to 66 patients, and the patients were predominantly women (range, 79%-100%). The mean age and follow-up ranges were 18 to 28 years and 16 to 44 months, respectively. The mean femoral anteversion decreased significantly from 34° preoperatively to 12° postoperatively. In studies reporting pre- and postoperative outcomes, significant improvements were found in the Lysholm score (from 24.8 to 44.1), Kujala score (from 15.8 to 41.9), International Knee Documentation Committee score (from 11.0 to 28.0), and visual analog scale for pain (from 2.0 to 3.7). All studies reported postoperative complications, giving an overall reported complication rate of 4.7%, but no redislocations occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion: For recurrent patellar dislocation in the presence of increased femoral anteversion, combination treatment with derotational femoral osteotomy led to favorable clinical outcomes with a low redislocation rate. However, there was no consensus among researchers on the indications for derotational femoral osteotomy in the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation.

Background: Arthroscopic capsular release (ACR) for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder can be performed in either the beach-chair (BC) or lateral decubitus (LD) position. Purpose: To determine the clinical outcomes and recurrence rates after ACR in the BC versus LD position. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic review using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines was performed by searching PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases for studies reporting clinical outcomes of patients undergoing ACR in either the BC or LD position. All English-language literature from 1990 through 2017 reporting on clinical outcomes after ACR with a minimum 3-month follow-up were reviewed by 2 independent reviewers. Recurrence rates, range of motion (ROM) results, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores were collected. Study methodological quality was evaluated using the modified Coleman Methodology Score (MCMS). Results: A total of 30 studies (3 level 1 evidence, 2 level 2 evidence, 4 level 3 evidence, 21 level 4 evidence) including 665 shoulders undergoing ACR in the BC position (38.1% male; mean age, 52.0 ± 3.9 years; mean follow-up, 35.4 ± 18.4 months) and 603 shoulders in the LD position (41.8% male; mean age, 53.0 ± 2.3 years; mean follow-up, 37.2 ± 16.8 months) were included. There were no significant differences in overall mean recurrence rates between groups (BC, 2.5%; LD, 2.4%; P = .81) or in any PRO scores between groups ( P > .05). There were no significant differences in improvement in ROM between groups, including external rotation at the side (BC, 36.4°; LD, 42.8°; P = .91), forward flexion (BC, 64.4°; LD, 79.3°; P = .73), abduction (BC, 77.8°; LD, 81.5°; P = .82), or internal rotation in 90° of abduction (BC, 40.8°; LD, 45.5°; P = .70). Significantly more patients in the BC group (91.6%) underwent concomitant manipulation than in the LD group (63%) ( P < .0001). There were significantly more patients with diabetes in the LD group (22.4%) versus the BC group (9.6%) ( P < .0001). Conclusion: Low rates of recurrent shoulder stiffness and excellent improvements in ROM can be achieved after ACR in either the LD or BC position. Concomitant manipulation under anesthesia is performed more frequently in the BC position compared with the LD position.

Objective To perform a systematic review of clinical outcomes following microfracture (MFX), autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA), and osteochondral autograft transplantation system (OATS) to treat articular cartilage lesions in pediatric and adolescent patients. We sought to compare postoperative improvements for each cartilage repair method to minimal clinically important difference (MCID) thresholds. Design MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies reporting MCID-validated outcome scores in a minimum of 5 patients ≤19 years treated for symptomatic knee chondral lesions with minimum 1-year follow-up. One-sample t tests were used to compare mean outcome score improvements to established MCID thresholds. Results Twelve studies reporting clinical outcomes on a total of 330 patients following cartilage repair were identified. The mean age of patients ranged from 13.7 to 16.7 years and the mean follow-up was 2.2 to 9.6 years. Six studies reported on ACI, 4 studies reported on MFX, 2 studies reported on OATS, and 1 study reported on OCA. ACI ( P < 0.001, P = 0.008) and OCA ( P < 0.001) showed significant improvement for International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores with regard to MCID while MFX ( P = 0.66) and OATS ( P = 0.11) did not. ACI ( P < 0.001) and OATS ( P = 0.010) both showed significant improvement above MCID thresholds for Lysholm scores. MFX ( P = 0.002) showed visual analog scale (VAS) pain score improvement above MCID threshold while ACI ( P = 0.037, P = 0.070) was equivocal. Conclusions Outcomes data on cartilage repair in the pediatric and adolescent knee are limited. This review demonstrates that all available procedures provide postoperative improvement above published MCID thresholds for at least one reported clinical pain or functional outcome score.

Background: Closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy (CWDFO)—combined with medial reefing and lateral release, if necessary— has been used to treat recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) with genu valgum. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of surgical treatment with CWDFO for treatment of RPD with genu valgum. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Fourteen consecutive patients (23 knees) with RPD and genu valgum were treated with CWDFO. Patients with a minimum 2-year follow-up period were eligible for this study. Patients with prior failed surgery were also eligible. Radiographic evaluation was performed with mechanical femorotibial and lateral distal femoral angle. The radiographic parameters presenting patellar positions and pathologic abnormalities associated with RPD were evaluated. Chondral lesion changes in second-look arthroscopic examination were examined, and clinical outcomes (eg, occurrence of redislocation, range of motion, and clinical scores) were assessed pre- and postoperatively at a minimum of 2 years. Results: At a mean follow-up of 30.7 months (range, 25-62 months), the mean mechanical femorotibial and mechanical lateral distal femoral angles changed significantly from valgus 5° (range, 2°-11°) to varus 3° (2°-11°; P < .001) and from 83° (range, 78°-86°) to 89° (84°-92°; P < .001), respectively. The mean patellar congruence angle improved from 40° lateral (range, 20°-53° lateral) to 4° medial (23° medial to 21° lateral; P < .001), as did the lateral patellofemoral angle from 26° (range, 8°-62°) to 9° (0°-15°; P < .001). Computed tomography scans showed that the mean distance of patellar lateral shift decreased from 13.5 mm (range, 4-22 mm) to 2.0 mm (–4 to 5 mm; P < .001). The mean tibial tubercle to trochlear groove distance significantly decreased from 20.4 to 13.5 mm ( P < .001), while the Caton-Deschamps ratio did not change significantly after surgery ( P = .984). Chondral lesions of the patella and trochlear groove significantly improved or were maintained. None of the patients experienced subluxation or redislocation after surgery. Patellar instability symptoms also improved, as validated by radiographic and other clinical outcomes. Conclusion: CWDFO combined with medial reefing and lateral release successfully treated RPD with genu valgum for a minimum follow-up of 2 years, with improved patellar alignment and stability.

ImportanceTears of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the elbow occur predominantly as an overuse injury, most commonly affecting throwing athletes, particularly baseball players. UCL reconstruction (UCLR) has been described as an effective treatment modality in the short term.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to systematically review the evidence in the literature to ascertain the clinical outcomes, complication and revision rates in baseball players following UCLR of the elbow at a minimum of 48 months of follow-up.Evidence reviewTwo independent reviewers performed a search of the literature based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using the EMBASE, PubMed and Scopus databases. Clinical studies were included if they reported outcomes of baseball players at a minimum of 48 months following UCLR.FindingsOur review included 8 studies including 1104 baseball players (1105 elbows) at mean 69.9 months (48–205) following UCLR. The majority of baseball players were pitchers (92.3%), with a mean age of 22.2 years (13–42). At final follow-up, the overall return to play (RTP) was 95.3%%, with 85.3% returning at pre-injury level. In addition, the mean reported Conway-Jobe score was 86.8%, the revision rate was 6.0% with postoperative neuropathy reported in 2.4% of patients. A total of 479 (43.4%) were professional baseball players, with an overall RTP rate of 97.5% and 82.3% managing to RTP at their pre-injury level. The mean number of career years following UCLR was 4.7 years (0–22).Conclusion and relevanceUCLR provides excellent patient-reported and clinical outcomes to patients at medium-term follow-up with low complication and revision rates. In addition, high rates of RTP at pre-injury level and career longevity were reported by baseball players following UCLR.Level of evidenceLevel IV; Systematic Review

Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Studies have shown that sesamoidectomy provides good clinical outcomes and quick return to sporting activities, however, there is concern regarding the complications following resection of one or both sesamoid bones. The purpose of the current systematic review was to evaluate the current evidence on sesamoidectomy for the treatment of the hallux sesamoid disorders. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases was performed based on the PRISMA guidelines. Included studies were evaluated with regard to level of evidence (LOE) and quality of evidence (QOE) using the Coleman Methodology Score. Reporting outcome data, clinical outcomes, and percentage of patients who returned to sport at previous level were also evaluated. Results: Ten studies with total 196 feet were included. The weighted mean age was 36.6 ± 11.0 with a mean follow-up of 45.1 ± 19.3 months. The mean Visual Analogue Scale score improved from a mean score of 6.5 ± 0.3 to 1.2 ± 0.5. The mean postoperative AOFAS score was 92.7 ± 2.7. Six studies demonstrated that 94.4% of patients returned to sport, with 90.0% returning to previous level, at a mean of 11.8 ± 1.8 weeks. The mean hallux valgus angle increased from 13.1 ± 2.1 preoperatively to 14.8 ± 3.7 postoperatively (p=0.470), and the mean intermetatarsal angle increased from 8.7 ± 0.8 to 9.7 ± 0.8 (p=0.180) following medial sesamoidectomy. The overall complication rate was 22.5%, and further surgeries were required in 3.0%(Table). Conclusion: The current systematic review demonstrated that sesamoidectomy for the hallux sesamoids disorders yields good clinical outcomes and a high rate of return to sports activity in the short-term. It is important to note however the high complications rate after sesamoidectomy, with a 22.5% complication rate in the short-term follow-up.

Background: It remains controversial whether hip arthroscopic surgery should be applied to patients with a borderline developmental dysplastic hip (BDDH). Purpose: To review the outcomes of hip arthroscopic surgery for a BDDH and which factors influence these outcomes. Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched through March 2018 for studies reporting the outcomes of primary hip arthroscopic surgery in patients with a BDDH. Inclusion in the review was based on the definition of a BDDH, patient-reported outcomes, and duration of follow-up. The primary outcome was the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS). The failure rate, visual analog scale, satisfaction score, and patient-reported outcomes such as the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score were defined as secondary outcomes. Results: Nine studies with 425 patients who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery were included in this review. The mean follow-up times ranged from 25.4 to 28.8 months across the studies. A significant improvement was obtained in the mHHS, with a mean score of 61.8 preoperatively to 82.8 postoperatively; all other patient-reported outcomes also improved significantly, except the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey mental component summary. The overall failure rate was 14.1%, and the mean reoperation rate was 8.5%. The rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty ranged from 4.4% to 26.0%, and the rate of conversion to periacetabular osteotomy was 4.0%. Combined defects such as cartilage damage, hip osteoarthritis, ligamentum teres tears, and femoroacetabular impingement could influence the outcomes after arthroscopic surgery in BDDHs. Conclusion: Hip arthroscopic surgery was demonstrated to be a promising approach for BDDHs, but the outcomes could be influenced by multiple risk factors. A higher level of evidence is still needed to support current findings.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction combined with supracondylar biplanar femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO) in recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) with increased femoral anteversion angle (FAA) and genu valgum. Methods Between January 2017 to December 2020, a total of 13 consecutive patients (13 knees, 4 males and 9 females, mean age 18.7 (range, 15–29) years) with RPD with increased FAA and genu valgum who underwent supracondylar biplanar FDO using a Tomofix-locking plate combined with MPFL reconstruction in our institution were included. Preoperative full-leg standing radiographs, lateral views, and hip-knee-ankle computed tomography (CT) scans were used to evaluate the mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), patellar height, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, and torsional angle of the tibial and femoral in the axial plane. Patient reported outcomes were evaluated using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Kujala score, Lysholm score, visual analog scale (VAS), and Tegner score preoperatively and postoperatively. Postoperative CT scans were used to evaluate the changes of FAA and TT-TG, and full-leg standing radiographs was used to evaluate the changes of mLDFA. Results A total of 13 patients (13 knees) were included with an average follow-up period of 14.7 months (range 12–26). No cases of patients developed wound infection, soft tissue irritation, and recurrent dislocation during the follow-up period after surgery. Bone healing at the osteotomy site was achieved in all cases, and all patients regained full extension and flexion. Clinical outcomes (VAS, Kujala, ICDC, Lysholom, and Tegner scores) improved significantly at the final follow-up after surgery (p < 0.05). The mean mLDFA changed significantly from 82.72°±3.27° to 88.63°±2.35°. The mean TT-TG distance significantly decreased from 19.63 ± 3.21 mm to 13.29 ± 2.78 mm, while the CDI did not change significantly after surgery (p༞0.05). The mean FAA significantly decreased from 32.77°±3.78° to 19.08°±3.14°, while the tibial torsion did not change significantly after surgery (p༞0.05). Conclusion MPFL reconstruction combined with supracondylar biplanar FDO showed satisfactory clinical outcomes and radiographic results in the short-term follow-up period.

AbstractRadiation-induced cavernous malformations (RICMs) are delayed complications of brain irradiation during childhood. Its natural history is largely unknown and its incidence may be underestimated as RCIMS tend to develop several years following radiation. No clear consensus exists regarding the long-term follow-up or treatment. A systematic review of Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, was performed. Based on our inclusion/exclusion criteria, 12 articles were included, totaling 113 children with RICMs, 86 were treated conservatively, and 27 with microsurgery. We were unable to precisely define the incidence and natural history from this data. The mean age at radiation treatment was 7.3 years, with a slight male predominance (54%) and an average dose of 50.0 Gy. The mean time to detection of RICM was 9.2 years after radiation. RICM often developed at distance from the primary lesion, more specifically frontal (35%) and temporal lobe (34%). On average, 2.6 RICMs were discovered per child. Sixty-seven percent were asymptomatic. Twenty-one percent presented signs of hemorrhage. Clinical outcome was favorable in all children except in 2. Follow-up data were lacking in most of the studies. RICM is most often asymptomatic but probably an underestimated complication of cerebral irradiation in the pediatric population. Based on the radiological development of RICMs, many authors suggest a follow-up of at least 15 years. Studies suggest observation for asymptomatic lesions, while surgery is reserved for symptomatic growth, hemorrhage, or focal neurological deficits.

Background: Several long-term (≥20 years) follow-up studies after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have been published in recent years, allowing for a systematic evaluation of outcomes. Purpose: To summarize outcomes at ≥20 years after ACL reconstruction and identify patient and surgical factors that affect these results. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Prospective studies of primary ACL reconstructions with hamstring or bone–patellar tendon—bone (BTB) autograft via an arthroscopic or a mini-open technique and with a mean follow-up of ≥20 years were identified. When possible, the mean scores for each outcome measure were calculated. Factors identified in individual studies as predictive of outcomes were described. Results: Five studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria with a total of 2012 patients. The pooled mean follow-up for patient-reported outcome measures was 44.2% (range, 29.6%-92.7%) and in-person evaluation was 33.2% (range, 29.6%-48.9%). Four studies (n = 584) reported graft tears at a mean rate of 11.8% (range, 2%-18.5%) and 4 studies (n = 773) reported a contralateral ACL injury rate of 12.2% (range, 5.8%-30%). Repeat non-ACL arthroscopic surgery (4 studies; n = 177) to the ipsilateral knee occurred in 10.4% (range, 9.5%-18.3%) and knee arthroplasty (1 study; n = 217) in 5%. The pooled mean of the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective knee function (IKDC) score was 79.1 (SD, 21.8 [3 studies; n = 644]). In 2 studies (n?= 221), 57.5% of patients continued to participate in strenuous activities. The IKDC-objective score was normal or nearly normal in 82.3% (n = 496; 3 studies), with low rates of clinically significant residual laxity. Moderate-severe radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) (IKDC grade C or D) was present in 25.9% of patients (n = 605; 3 studies). Medial meniscectomy is associated with increased risk of radiographic OA. Radiographic OA severity is associated with worse patient-reported knee function, but the association with knee pain is unclear. Conclusion: Currently available prospective evidence for ACL reconstruction with hamstring or BTB autograft provides several insights into outcomes at 20 years. The rates of follow-up at 20 years range from 30% to 93%. IKDC-objective scores were normal or nearly normal in 82% and the mean IKDC-subjective score was 79 points.

Background: There is a plethora of literature on outcomes after hip arthroscopic surgery in the adult population; however, outcomes in the adolescent population have not been as widely reported. Additionally, as adolescents represent a very active population, it is imperative to understand their athletic activity and return to sport after hip arthroscopic surgery. Purpose: To analyze patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after hip arthroscopic surgery in adolescents (aged 10-19 years) and present a return-to-sport analysis in the athletic adolescent subgroup. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines to identify articles that reported PROs after hip arthroscopic surgery in adolescents. The standardized mean difference was calculated to compare the effect size of hip arthroscopic surgery on various PROs. For the athletic subgroup, a return-to-sport summary was also provided. Results: Ten studies, with 618 adolescent hips and a collective study period of December 2004 to February 2015, were included in this systematic review. Across all studies, the mean age was 15.8 years (range, 11.0-19.9 years), and female patients composed approximately 56.7% of the entire cohort. The mean follow-up was 34.5 months (range, 12-120 months). The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) was reported in 9 studies, and at latest follow-up, scores were excellent in 4 studies (range, 90-95) and good in the remaining 5 studies (range, 82.1-89.6). All adolescents also showed significant improvement on the Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), the HOS–Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), the physical component of the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12P), a visual analog scale for pain (VAS), and both versions of the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12 and iHOT-33) at latest follow-up ( P < .05). Further, mean improvements reported in all studies surpassed reported values of the minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptomatic state for the mHHS, HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS, and iHOT-33. Finally, the collective return-to-sport rate among athletic adolescents was 84.9%. Conclusion: In the setting of labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement, hip arthroscopic surgery can safely be performed in adolescents and leads to significant functional improvement. Furthermore, athletic adolescents return to sport at high levels after hip arthroscopic surgery.
