Percutaneous anterior pelvic ring fixation in addition to percutaneous posterior pelvic ring fixation decreases postoperative pain and narcotic usage in hospital for LC1 and LC2 injuries.

Objectives: To compare postoperative pain and opioid requirements between LC1 and LC2 injuries treated with anterior and posterior fixation (AF+PF) vs. posterior fixation (PF) only.

Methods: Design: Retrospective review of propensity matched cohorts for sex, age, LC1 vs.

Spin is Prevalent in Abstracts of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses of Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction and Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis.

Purpose: To analyze the incidence of spin in the abstracts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating anterolateral ligament augmentation or lateral extra-articular tenodesis as treatment for anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

Method: Studies were identified using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis guidelines searching PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus in November 2023. The abstracts were graded for the incidence of the 15 most common types of spin, and full texts were reviewed for AMSTAR 2 classification.

Abstracts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating meniscal root repair exhibit a high prevalence of reporting bias.

Background: To present rates of reporting bias in systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating meniscal root repair.

Methods: In this systematic review, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were queried for studies that investigated meniscal root tears treated with root repair. Included studies were systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses published in peer-reviewed journals in the English language with available full-texts.

Fracture of the Proximal Body of a Modern Cementless Modular Fluted Tapered Stem.

Previous reports have described failures of modular fluted tapered femoral stems secondary to fatigue failure at the modular junction. However, the present study is the first reported case of modular fluted tapered femoral component failure involving atraumatic fracture of the proximal body following revision total hip arthroplasty. The failure occurred in a 52-year-old female with a history of postmenopausal osteoporosis on bisphosphonates who sustained an atraumatic fracture of the proximal body of a modular revision femoral stem.

Stability before and after percutaneous anterior medullary fixation of lateral compression 1 and 2 pelvic ring disruptions: Should surgeons prioritize the anterior ring?

Purpose: Surgical intervention for lateral compression (LC) 1 and 2 pelvic ring fractures is controversial. Posterior ring stabilization remains the most common mode of initial fixation. However, greater mechanical instability is observed in the anterior component of LC pelvic fractures.

Demographic and Socioeconomic Patient Data Are Rarely Included in Randomized Controlled Trials for Femoral Acetabular Impingement and Hip Arthroscopy: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To determine the rate of reporting for sociodemographic variables in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) and hip arthroscopy.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were queried for articles relating to FAI and hip arthroscopy. Articles included in final analysis were RCTs investigating operative management of FAI.

Randomized controlled trials in the shoulder arthroplasty literature rarely include key demographic and socioeconomic patient data.

Background: It is well known that socioeconomic and demographic variables can greatly affect health outcomes. Previous studies across medical and surgical subspecialties have demonstrated that these variables are frequently under-reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). No such study currently exists that examines rates of reporting of sociodemographic variables in shoulder arthroplasty RCTs.
