There is limited research investigating the diagnostic strength of 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) and multidirectional CT arthrography (CTA) for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and related hip lesions.

Combined 3-Dimensional CT and Multidirectional CT Arthrography for Femoroacetabular Impingement and Hip Lesions: A Cross-sectional Study Comparing Imaging and Hip Arthroscopic Surgery Findings.

: Concomitant nerve injuries with musculoskeletal injuries present a challenging problem. The goals of nerve reconstruction for the shoulder include shoulder abduction and external rotation. When patients fail to achieve acceptable shoulder external rotation and shoulder abduction, tendon transfers such as trapezius transfer offer a reliable option in the subsequent stage. : A 32-year-old male presented with weak external rotation in his left shoulder, after previous axillary nerve reconstruction. He received the ipsilateral lower trapezius transfer with the aim of improving the external rotation. : The lower trapezius restores a better joint reaction force in both the compressive-distractive and anterior-posterior balancing and provides a centering force through the restoration of the anterior-posterior force couple. : We believe that the ipsilateral lower trapezius transfer to the infraspinatus is a good outcome and is effective in improving overall shoulder stability and the shoulder external rotation moment arm or at least maintaining in neutral position with the arm fully adducted in patients with post axillary nerve injuries post unsatisfactory nerve reconstruction to increase the quality of life and activities of daily living.

Arthroscopic Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer for a Patient with Axillary Nerve Injury and Concomitant Rotator Cuff Tear: A Case Report and Technical Notes.

The impact of anatomical factors, such as the lateral tibial slope (LTS), on outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an area of growing interest. This study was led by the observation that patients with a higher LTS may have different recovery trajectories.

Correlation between higher lateral tibial slope and inferior long term subjective outcomes following single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

There are many adhesion barrier materials, cross-linked or non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA), used during surgeries.
