Intra-abdominal fluid extravasation is a rare complication of hip arthroscopy, with a reported incidence of 0.16%. Associated risk factors include recent acetabular fracture, extra-articular procedures, iliopsoas tenotomy, and high fluid pump pressure. These previously reported risk factors were not present in the 48-year-old woman reported in this article. The patient elected to undergo hip ar...

OBJECTIVES Assess the worthiness of arthroscopy in investigating and treating knee pain after arthroplasty unexplained by clinical and subsidiary examinations. METHODS Among 402 patients submitted to total or unicompartimental arthroplasty between September 2001 and April 2007 at a public university hospital, 17 presented with pain on prosthetic articulation, without clear diagnosis by clinic...

PURPOSE Hip arthroscopy is a well established therapeutic intervention for an increasing number of painful hip conditions. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is commonly associated with intra-articular hip pathology. However, some surgeons perceive patients with hip dysplasia as poor candidates for hip arthroscopy. Our aim was to describe early outcomes of arthroscopic treatment for patie...

INTRODUCTION Heterotopic ossification (HO) after hip surgery is the formation of bone in non-skeletal tissue, usually between the muscle and the joint capsule. HO after hip surgery may be associated with clinical sequelae such as pain, impingement and decreased range of motion, compromising surgical outcomes. CASE REPORT A 20-year-old basketball player presented with a 2-year duration of the ...

PURPOSE Achondroplasia is the most common form of skeletal dysplasia, affecting more than 250 000 individuals worldwide. In these patients, the developing knee undergoes multiple anatomical changes. The purpose of this study was to characterise the intra-articular knee anatomy in children with achondroplasia who underwent knee arthroscopy. METHODS Records of achondroplasia patients who underw...

background: no uniform consensus exists to decide type of fixation for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. hypothsis: there is similar functional outcome after rigid fix compared to other methods of fixation which has been published. study design: retrospective observational study. methods: a total of 50 patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstructi...

background:   to assess the outcome of the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method in patients with anterior shoulder dislocation associated with hill-sachs lesion.     methods:   ten patients with anterior shoulder dislocations and hill-sachs lesions were entered into this study and were operated on by the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method. they were followed up 22 months after surgery...

Pseudoaneurysm with arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication of arthroscopy, and can be diagnosed by ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or angiography. This condition can be treated with open surgical repair or endovascular repair. We report our experience with the open surgical repair of a pseudoaneurysm with an arteriovenous fistula in a young male patient w...

Objective Explore the value of musculoskeletal ultrasound in detecting cruciate ligament pathology Background Partial tears cranial (CCL) can be difficult to diagnose due lack instability present on orthopedic examination. Advanced diagnostics would required for further evaluation. While a common tool human medicine, MRI is limited use canines cost and need general anesthesia. Musculoskeletal (...

BACKGROUND Hip arthroscopy has gained increasing popularity over the past decade. The need to develop metrics to evaluate success and complications in primary hip arthroscopy is an important goal. PURPOSE To evaluate 2-year patient-related outcome (PRO) scores and patient satisfaction scores for a single surgeon at a high-volume referral center for all primary hip arthroscopy procedures perfo...
