Young adults with borderline hip dysplasia who underwent primary hip arthroscopy saw favorable outcomes after a minimum 10-year follow-up, according to study results published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented at the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting showed that surgeon reimbursement for basic arthroscopy procedures was greater with healthier patients.

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed acute repair of distal biceps tendon ruptures may result in better supination endurance, a lower proportion of complications and a lower rate of repeat surgery compared with chronic repair.

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed use of the percutaneous pie-crusting technique may be safe for patients undergoing isolated medial meniscal root repair and have similar outcomes to patients who did not undergo pie-crusting.

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed quadriceps tendon grafts had no significant differences in revision or reoperation rates after ACL reconstruction compared with bone-patellar tendon-bone or hamstring autografts.

NEW ORLEANS — Pediatric patients who underwent arthroscopic meniscus repair had a complication rate around 11% at 8-month follow-up, with the highest complication rate found among those with isolated meniscus repairs.

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed outcomes collected 1-year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair had minimal differences to 2-year outcomes data and may be adequate for short-term reporting of clinical outcomes.

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction with button fixation yielded a high failure rate, possibly due to the graft not being flush against the glenoid.

NEW ORLEANS — Patients with shoulder hyperlaxity may have an increased likelihood of failure after arthroscopic Bankart repair, which may be amplified in patients with shorter distance to dislocation, according to results presented here.

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed arthroscopic labral repair with remplissage had a lower recurrent dislocation rate among patients with on-track Hill-Sachs lesions.
