The O’Donoghue Sports Injury Research Award, in honor of Don H. O’Donoghue, MD, is given annually by the Research Committee to the best full-length manuscript that pertains to clinical-based research or human in-vivo research. This award was given for Dr.…
These findings highlight the importance of analyzing spinopelvic parameters preoperatively to prognosticate outcomes before hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral tears and FAI. Torabian KA, Cherian NJ, Eberlin CT, Dean MC, Dowley KS, LaPorte ZL, Kucharik MP, Gillinov SM, Martin, SD.…
JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques We present a safe and technically feasible approach for harvesting bone marrow aspirate from the body of the ilium, followed by centrifugation and application during hip arthroscopy.
The incidence of ONFH after intra-articular hip injection was similar between patients who received CSIs and those who received HAIs. Varady NH, Abraham PF, Kucharik MP, Freccero DM, Smith EL, Martin SD. Comparing the Risk of Osteonecrosis of the Femoral…
Accelerated PT following transtendinous RCR is associated with significant improvement in AROM at 6 weeks and 3 months postoperatively. Further, the early motion may help obviate the development of severe postoperative stiffness without any evidence of higher rotator cuff retear…
Patients with moderate cartilage injury undergoing arthroscopic acetabular labral repair with BMAC application reported significantly greater functional improvements when compared with similar patients without BMAC application. Martin SD, Kucharik MP, Abraham PF, Varady NH, Meek WM, Nazal MR. Functional Outcomes…
Our research concluded that in patients older than 40 years with limited osteoarthritis, arthroscopic acetabular labral repair with postoperative physical therapy led to better outcomes than physical therapy alone. Thus, age over 40 years should not be considered a contraindication…
Background: Traditional shoulder physical examination (PE) tests have suboptimal sensitivity for detection of supraspinatus full-thickness tears (FTTs). Therefore, clinicians may continue to suspect FTTs in some patients with negative rotator cuff PE tests and turn to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)…
Based on data from a prospective study, Scott D. Martin, MD, director of the Joint Preservation Service within the Department of Orthopaedics Sports Medicine Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, and colleagues now call into question the use of MRI before a trial of…
The unique histology of the chondrolabral junction was identified in a caprine model. This unique type-1, crimped, loose collagen helps explain how the hip joint can withstand huge sheer forces over time. This discovery leads us on a quest to…
