SAN DIEGO — Osteochondral autologous transplantation may be an effective treatment option for adolescent athletes with capitellar osteochondritis dissecans, according to results presented here.

SAN DIEGO — The use of NSAIDs may be an effective way to reduce postoperative stiffness and manipulation under anesthesia procedures following total knee arthroplasty, according to results presented here.

A 2008 survey of hip injuries in the NFL introduced the “sports hip triad,” consisting of a hip labral tear, adductor injury and rectus abdominis injury.

Published results showed increased tibial tubercle–trochlear groove distance and increased cartilaginous and bony sulcus angles were associated with patellar osteochondritis dissecans in pediatric patients.

An upcoming study will aim to identify how joint replacement affects a patient’s golf game with use of a golf simulator paired with markerless motion analysis.

Results of a study showed administration of IV tranexamic acid within 15 minutes of incision did not significantly improve surgeons’ visual field clarity during hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.

Results published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine showed tibial tubercle osteotomy with vs. without distalization yielded similar postoperative outcomes for patients with patellofemoral instability, malalignment and patella alta.

Results showed patients with a BMI of 40 kg/m2 or more who used glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for at least 90 days before and after total knee arthroplasty had a decreased risk for postoperative complications vs. controls.

Hospital for Special Surgery has appointed Daphne A. Scott, MD, as chief of its primary sports medicine service, according to a press release.

Published results showed total hip arthroplasty performed with robotic-assistance software that incorporates pelvic tilt and virtual range of motion may change the preoperative plan for cup position and deviate from traditional safe zones.
