Rhabdomyosarcomas are a rare form of cancer; however, the disease is responsible for about 60% of all soft-tissue sarcomas in children.

Clinicians specializing in hip preservation surgery perform surgical procedures in adolescent and young adult patients to increase longevity of the affected hip and prevent or delay the need for a total hip arthroplasty (Adler et al., 2015; Freeman et al., 2014). Patients typically present with diag...

Hip preservation surgery (HPS) is increasingly performed in young and active patients with the aim of delaying or avoiding total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite advances in preservation techniques, a proportion of patients eventually progress to end-stage hip disease and require conversion to THA. P...

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are hip disorders that may be accompanied by sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain. Although both conditions are considered to alter load transmission across the pelvic ring, differences in SIJ stress patterns between FAI and DDH ...

Although studies suggested an association between patient factors and various outcome measures in the surgical management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), there is a lack of consistent evidence of the influence of osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with FAI syndrome treated arthroscopically. This...

Favorable outcomes of pelvic osteotomy (PO) with concomitant hip arthroscopy (AS) have been reported. As severe acetabular dysplasia (AD) entails a risk of postoperative instability due to the difficulty of improving acetabular coverage, the choice to add AS, which has a potential to induce joint in...

Surgical treatment of symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) ranges from open surgical hip dislocation (SHD) to minimally invasive arthroscopy and/or mini-open techniques. Arthroscopy offers excellent intra-articular visualisation but is limited in addressing large cam deformities, whereas t...

Hip arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) often results in substantial postoperative pain, necessitating effective analgesic strategies. While epidural anesthesia (Epi), intra-articular injection (IA), and local infiltration analgesia (LIA) are commonly used, direct c...

steogenesis imperfecta (OI), or "brittle bone disorder," is a connective tissue disorder that affects collagen, a protein that makes up much of the body's structure. There are more than 10 different types of OI, and while severity varies from type to type, they all cause some form of incre...

streptococcal (GAS) musculoskeletal infections (MSKI) are an increasingly recognized cause of pediatric morbidity alongside methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA, MRSA).
