Interportal Capsulotomy Closure Does Not Improve the Results After Hip Arthroscopy at 1-Year Follow-up: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: Management of the capsulotomy at termination of hip arthroscopic procedures in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is debated. Clinical outcomes in favor of capsular closure were demonstrated in a retrospective study; nonetheless, this finding could not be confirmed in a recent randomized, controlled trial comparing capsular closure with unrepaired capsulotomy.

Purpose/hypothesis: This randomized, controlled multicenter trial aimed to evaluate the effect of capsular closure on subjective postoperative outcomes and revision rates in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Spatial proteomics of skeletal muscle using thin cryosections reveals metabolic adaptation at the muscle-tendon transition zone.

Morphological studies of skeletal muscle tissue provide insights into the architecture of muscle fibers, the surrounding cells, and the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, a spatial proteomics analysis of the skeletal muscle including the muscle-tendon transition zone is lacking. Here, we prepare cryotome muscle sections of the mouse soleus muscle and measure each slice using short liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) gradients.

Acetabular retroversion does not affect outcome in primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.

Purpose: The surgical treatment of femoral-acetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in patients with acetabular retroversion (AR) is arthroscopical or by a reverse periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the results after arthroscopic treatment of FAIS in patients with and without radiographic signs of AR in a large, prospective cohort from the Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR). The hypothesis was there is no difference in clinical outcome between the two groups.

The role of F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of frozen shoulder.

Purpose: Frozen shoulder is characterized by pain and reduced passive movement capability, and the diagnose is made clinically. However, pain is the major symptom in the first stage before stiffness occurs, and the condition can be mistaken for subacromial impingement. This study explored the possibility to use positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with a F Flour-Deoxy-Glucose (FDG) tracer in the diagnostic process.

Gracilis tendon harvest may lead to both incisional and non-incisional saphenous nerve injuries.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to map saphenous nerve injuries after gracilis tendon harvest, with the aim of contributing knowledge that makes it possible to prevent these injuries.

Methods: Twenty-two cadaver limbs were used. Three were dissected to examine fascial structures between the saphenous nerve and the gracilis tendon.

Why tibial plateau fractures are overlooked.

Background: Tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) are sometimes overlooked in the emergency room (ER). Using a national register covering 18 years we aimed to find out why and to evaluate if use of a specific radiographic decision rule, Pittsburgh Knee Rules (PKRs), could have reduced the number of overlooked TPFs.

Methods: Medical records for 137 patients, prospectively registered during 18 years by the Danish Patient Compensation Association (DPCA) (a national register), were studied.

Risk Factors for Post-treatment Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): An Analysis of 647 Cases of CRPS from the Danish Patient Compensation Association.

Objectives: Complex regional pain syndrome is a challenging condition that includes a broad spectrum of sensory, autonomic, and motor features predominantly in extremities recovering from a trauma. Few large-scale studies have addressed occurrence of and factors associated with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) following orthopedic treatment. The present study aimed to identify factors associated with post-treatment development of CRPS.

Well Leg Compartment Syndrome After Abdominal Surgery.

Background: Well leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) is a complication to abdominal surgery. We aimed to identify risk factors for and outcome of WLCS in Denmark and literature.

Methods: Prospectively collected claims to the Danish Patient Compensation Association (DPCA) concerning WLCS after abdominal operations 1996-2013 and cases in literature 1970-2013 were evaluated.
