Postoperative iatrogenic hip instability is an increasingly recognized complication of arthroscopic hip surgery. Numerous publications have reported on the biomechanical importance of capsular preservation, as well as the clinical importance of proper cap

While there was sustained PROM improvement for both the PAO and PAOHS, there was significant heterogeneity and little comparability between the two groups of studies limiting potential conclusions regarding the efficacy of intra-articular intervention des

Combined hip arthroscopy and PAO results in statistically significant improvement in PROs, low complication rates, and low conversion to arthroplasty at short to medium-term follow-up.

Based on the present study?s results, the treatment of femoral neck impingement cysts appears to be a reasonable technique to implement during hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome, and we suspect the benefit may be secondary to prevention of a stress riser in

Clavicular fractures are common injuries among children, usually due to sports-related trauma or accidental falls. The purpose of this study was to assess the epidemiology of clavicular fractures among children in the United States between 2014 and 2023.
