In this multicenter study on revision hip arthroscopy, patients undergoing revision labral repair were younger and had better labral characteristics but greater cartilage damage compared with patients undergoing labral reconstructions. Despite these differences, patients who underwent labral repair ...

Hip arthroscopy is an increasingly popular procedure used to treat femoroacetabular impingement. However, the procedure is technically challenging with a steep learning curve. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the senior author's top 10 pearls for a successful hip arthroscopy...

Hip pain is catastrophic in young patients, and promising therapies offer an alternative to premature arthroplasty. This may address both physical and psychological components of pain the goal is to avoid or postpone an artificial joint.

Hips treated with SIO were generally not more retroverted at the femoral head center than the non-operated hips while being more retroverted just below the acetabular roof. In addition, there was some remaining dysplasia of the posterior acetabular wall, especially with hips that showed signs of fem...

Combining arthroscopic hip osteochondroplasty with morscher can restore functional anatomy, provide symptomatic relief and improve function for LCPD patients.

This study demonstrates that the proximal tibial metaphyseal width/lateral tibial epiphyseal height is the ideal measurement for clinicians seeking to determine growth remaining in children. It presents average values between 0% and 25% of growth remaining. This study also develops and validates a m...

Children with AMC experience limited mobility and UE function, but normal levels of pain interference and good peer relationships. The average values provided in this study will serve as a baseline from which to evaluate the efficacy of both nonoperative and surgical interventions.

The answer to this question appears to be no, according to a retrospective study in 426 children aged younger than 15 years who were treated nonoperatively at 3 tertiary pediatric hospitals for a forearm fracture in both bones. Investigators reviewed patients’ radiographs, including angulation, tr...

Scoliosis causes an abnormal C-shaped or S-shaped curve of the spine. Experts agree that children with spine curvatures of 45 to 50 degrees will need surgery to reduce the curve and prevent further curvature over time.

Kyphosis and lordosis are different spinal curvatures. In excessive kyphosis, the spine curves forward, rounding the upper back. In excessive lordosis, the spine curves backward, resulting in swayback. Both conditions can be painful.
