PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between timed task performance on an arthroscopy shoulder simulator and participation in a standardized expert shoulder arthroscopy educational course. METHODS Orthopaedic trainees were voluntarily recruited from over 25 residency programs throughout the United States and Canada. Each trainee was tested on arrival at the Arthroscopy Association of North Ame...

Discussion persists about the outcome and results of hip arthroscopy in obese patients. Hip arthroscopy gained popularity over time. A current discussion is if obese patients can reach similar results after surgery compared with non-obese. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review of literature about hip arthroscopy and obesity. We searched the Pubmed/Medline databases for literatur...

PURPOSE The purpose was to review the literature on the outcomes of elbow arthroscopy and to make evidence-based recommendations for or against elbow arthroscopy for the treatment of various conditions. Our hypothesis was that the evidence would support the use of elbow arthroscopy in the management of common elbow conditions. METHODS A literature search was performed by use of the PubMed dat...

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings and Arthroscopy in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, using as gold standard. Methodology: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from February to August 2019. Clinical evidence ACL injury present 1...

background intra-articular analgesia is a pain reliever that is frequently administered following arthroscopic knee surgery. objectives the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of intra-articular applicationrnof morphine and tramadol on postoperative pain after arthroscopic knee surgery patients and methods for this randomized double blinded clinical trial, 132 patientsrnundergoing...

background:  despite the introduction of different techniques for meniscal repair, no single procedure is superior in all situations. the new method for meniscal repair named “ modified outside-in technique ” aims to achieve higher primary fixation strength by an alternative suture technique as well as avoid disadvantages of outside-in, inside-out, and all-inside suture procedures. additionally...

The role of hip arthroscopy in the management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been advancing rapidly. In this case report, we describe the use of hip arthroscopy to successfully treat a femoral neck osteochondroma that caused a symptomatic labral tear in a 37 year old woman. Hip arthroscopy offers several advantages to surgical dislocation of the hip in the management of intraarticula...

Letters Giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath-an unusual cause for lockinG of the knee joint. Editor, Locking of the knee is a common presentation at orthopaedic outpatient departments. These patients normally require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) where there is a clinical suspicion of a soft tissue lesion. The most common lesions are meniscal tears and typically present with associated pai...

conclusions although mri diagnostic value in the evaluation of knee associated injuries is relatively high but does not eliminate the need to perform arthroscopy .therefore it is recommended that in future studies designing solutions in order to improving the diagnostic value of mri must be considered results in this study 90 patients were examined .85% of them were male .mri sensitivity for ac...

Introduction. The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) provides both mobility and stability of the radiocarpal joint. TFCC lesions are difficult to diagnose due to the complex anatomy. The standard treatment for TFCC lesions is arthroscopy, posing surgery-related risks onto the patients. This feasibility study aimed at developing a workup for soft-tissue reconstruction using clinical imagin...
