Abstract
Background Reviews on superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) injuries have been reported in the literature. However, current reviews have not focused on the success of athletes return to their previous level of sport or athletic performance. Hypothesis/Purpose Systematically review return to sport (RTS) and return to sport at previous level (RTSP) proportions after SLAP injury while reporting any additional performance metrics and outcome measures. Study Design Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis. Methods A computer assisted literature search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase and SportDiscus databases utilizing keywords related to RTS post-surgery for SLAP tear was implemented. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were utilized for study methodology. Quality assessment utilized the MINORS scale. Results Twenty-two studies (617 athletes) qualified for analysis. Based on limited evidence from level 3b to 4 studies, athletes RTS post intervention for SLAP injury occurred at a rate of 93% (95% CI:87 to 98%) and overall RTSP rate was 72% (95% CI:60 to 83%). The mean time to RTS post intervention was reported in 59% of studies at 6.9 ± 2.9 months. Patient reported outcome measures (PROM's) were reported in 86% of studies. There was limited reporting of performance statistics, rehabilitation guidelines, return to sport criteria, and information regarding SLAP diagnosis in the available studies. None of the included studies reported post-surgical athletic performance or career longevity. Conclusions Limited evidence suggests that less than three in four athletes return to their previous level of sport participation after SLAP injury intervention. Treatment success for an athlete with SLAP injury remains relatively unknown as only 59% of included studies clearly delineate RTS from RTSP and neither athletic performance nor career longevity were reported in any included studies. Future studies of higher quality are required for this determination. Level of Evidence Level 1a.

Abstract
Aims Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a potential cause of hip osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression profile of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the labral tissue with FAI pathology. Methods In this study, labral tissues were collected from four FAI patients arthroscopically and from three normal hips of deceased donors. Proteins extracted from the FAI and normal labrums were separately applied for MMP array to screen the expression of seven MMPs and three tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The expression of individual MMPs and TIMPs was quantified by densitometry and compared between the FAI and normal labral groups. The expression of selected MMPs and TIMPs was validated and localized in the labrum with immunohistochemistry. Results On MMP arrays, most of the targeted MMPs and TIMPs were detected in the FAI and normal labral proteins. After data normalization, in comparison with the normal labral proteins, expression of MMP-1 and MMP-2 in the FAI group was increased and expression of TIMP-1 reduced. The histology of the FAI labrum showed disorderly cell distribution and altered composition of thick and thin collagen fibres. The labral cells expressing MMP-1 and MMP-2 were localized and their percentages were increased in the FAI labrum. Immunohistochemistry confirmed that the percentage of TIMP-1 positive cells was reduced in the FAI labrum. Conclusion This study established an expression profile of MMPs and TIMPs in the FAI labrum. The increased expression of MMP-1 and MMP-2 and reduced expression of TIMP-1 in the FAI labrum are indicative of a pathogenic role of FAI in hip OA development.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined the hip morphology of paediatric patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type IVA (MPS IVA). METHODS This was a retrospective chart review of 42 hips in 21 children with MPS IVA. Pelvic radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 42 hips and arthrograms of 13 hips were analysed. The bony, cartilaginous and labral coverage of the acetabulum was determined by acetabular index (AI), centre edge angle (CEA) and femoral head coverage (FHC). RESULTS The mean age at the time of radiography was 66.3 ± 21.7 months. The bony, cartilaginous and labral AI in the MRI assessment were 36.3 ± 5.3, 18.3 ± 4.7 and 12.1 ± 4.6 degrees, respectively. The inter-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the bony AI, CEA and FHC measurements on radiographs and MRI were 0.936, 0.879 and 0.810, respectively. In the MRI assessment, labrum in 12 of 42 hips appeared as a regular triangle, and it was flat on 30/42 hips. The average arthrographic AI (AAI) was 11.1 ± 2.7 degrees. The ICCs value of AAI versus cartilaginous and labral AI on MRI indicates good agreement but higher in labral AI. CONCLUSION Hips in MPS IVA exhibited obvious cartilage and labrum compensation in response to abnormal ossification of bony acetabulum. Cartilage in MPS IVA hip increases the thickness in the longitudinal direction, while the labrum becomes flatten in the horizontal direction. The AAI may represent intraoperative labrum coverage. The femora-acetabular harmony is difficult to determine using radiography only, and pre-operative MRI and an intraoperative arthrogram are very important in a hip assessment in MPS IVA.

Abstract
Posterior shoulder instability is often hard to diagnose with clinical examination. Patients generally present with vague pain, weakness, and/or joint clicking but less frequently complaining of frank sensation of instability. Imaging examinations, especially MR imaging and magnetic resonance arthrography, have a pivotal role in the identification and management of this condition. This review describes the pathologic micro/macrotraumatic magnetic resonance features of posterior shoulder instability as well as the underlying joint abnormalities predisposing to this condition, including developmental anomalies of the glenoid fossa, humeral head, posterior labrum, and capsular and ligamentous structures.

Abstract
From Pathomorphology to Hip Osteoarthritis - Femoroacetabular Impingement as an Example Abstract. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) occurs due to abnormal morphology and subsequent contact between the proximal femur and the acetabulum and can be a source of labral and chondral damage in the hip joint. While there is evidence that Cam-type FAI is correlated with hip osteoarthritis, there is yet no clear link between osteoarthritis and Pincer-FAI in which primarily the labrum gets injured. Hips with evident deformity and beginning chondral and/or labral damage should undergo surgery. Most cases (80-90 %) can be successfully treated by hip arthroscopy. At the time of surgery, the typical FAI-patient is 30 years old. With correct indication and proper surgical technique, favorable outcomes are achieved in more than 80 % of the cases at a short- to mid-term follow-up.

Abstract
Anterior patterning in animals is based on a gene regulatory network, which comprises highly conserved transcription factors like six3, pax6 and otx. More recently, foxQ2 was found to be an ancestral component of this network but its regulatory interactions showed evolutionary differences. In most animals, foxQ2 is a downstream target of six3 and knockdown leads to mild or no epidermal phenotypes. In contrast, in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, foxQ2 gained a more prominent role in patterning leading to strong epidermal and brain phenotypes and being required for six3 expression. However, it has remained unclear which of these novel aspects were insect or arthropod specific. Here, we study expression and RNAi phenotype of the single foxQ2 ortholog of the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum. We find early anterior expression similar to the one of insects. Further, we show an epidermal phenotype in the labrum similar to the insect phenotype. However, our data indicate that foxQ2 is positioned downstream of six3 like in other animals but unlike insects. Hence, the epidermal and neural pattering function of foxQ2 is ancestral for arthropods while the upstream role of foxQ2 may have evolved in the lineage leading to the insects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip osteoarthritis (HOA) is the most common hip disorder and a major cause of disability in the adult population, with an estimated prevalence of end-stage disease and total hip replacement. Thus, the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the early stages of the disease in young adults are crucial to reduce the incidence of end-stage HOA. The purpose of this study was to determine whether (1) a relationship among the inflammatory status of labrum and synovium collected from patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) would exist; and (2) to investigate the associations among the histopathological features of joint tissues, the pre-operative symptoms and the post-operative outcomes after arthroscopic surgery. METHODS Joint tissues from 21 patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI were collected and their histological and immunohistochemical features were correlated with clinical parameters. RESULTS Synovial mononuclear cell infiltration was observed in 25% of FAI patients, inversely correlated with the hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS) pain and function subscales and with the absolute and relative change in total HOOS. All the labral samples showed some pattern of degeneration and 67% of the samples showed calcium deposits. The total labral score was associated with increased CD68 positive cells in the synovium. The presence of labral calcifications, along with the chondral damage worsened the HOOS post-op symptoms (adjusted R-square = 0.76 p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals a relationship between the histologic labral features, the synovial inflammation, and the cartilage condition at the time of FAI. The presence of labral calcifications, along with the cartilage damage and the synovitis negatively affects the post-operative outcomes in patients with FAI.

Abstract
Purpose To determine and compare the accuracy and interobserver reliability of the different methods for localizing acetabular labral, acetabular chondral, and femoral head chondral lesions with hip arthroscopy . Methods Three cadaver hips were placed in the supine position. Three labral, three femoral chondral, and six acetabular chondral lesions were made in each cadaver using electrocautery. Six surgeons classified the lesions according to different classification systems (clock-face, geographic, Method-G) using hip arthroscopy and standardized portals. Identification of each lesion was performed after conclusion of the study through open dissection and surgical hip dislocation to be used as the “gold-standard.” Accuracy was calculated as the number of correct answers divided by total number of responses for a given system. The interobserver reliability was calculated using the kappa coefficient. The different classification methods were compared. All P values were reported with significance set at P < 0.05. Results The clock-face method had an accuracy of 74% (95% CI, 60%–85%) and interobserver reliability of 0.19 (95% CI, 0.11–0.26) while the geographic method had an accuracy of 50% (95% CI, 36%–64%) and interobserver reliability of 0.21 (95% CI, 0.05–0.31) for acetabular labral lesion identification (P > 0.05). The acetabular chondral lesion identification accuracy was 56% (95% CI, 46%–65%) for Method G, 66% (95% CI, 56%–75%) for Method G-simp, and 63% (95% CI, 53%–72%) for the geographic system (P > 0.05) with an interobserver reliability of 0.31 (95% CI, 0.27–0.35), 0.34 (95% CI, 0.28–0.40), and 0.40 (95% CI, 0.34–0.45), respectively (P > 0.05). Femoral chondral lesion identification accuracy was 74% (95% CI, 60%–85%) for Method G, 43% (95% CI, 29%–57%) for the geographic method, and 59% (95% CI, 45%–72%) for the geographic-simp system with interobserver reliability of 0.37 (95% CI, 0.27–0.47), 0.34 (95% CI, 0.28–0.40), and 0.40 (95% CI, 0.29–0.51), respectively (P > 0.05). Method G was significantly more accurate than the geographic system (P = 0.001). Conclusions There was poor to fair accuracy and interobserver reliability of the reporting systems for localization of labral, acetabular chondral, and femoral chondral lesions encountered during hip arthroscopy. The study suggests there is a need for a new method that is easy to use, reliable, reproducible and accurate.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) is a reliable non-invasive method to image the rotator cuff tendons. Even though glenoid labral pathology is common, it is not routinely looked at as part of the shoulder ultrasound protocol. Currently, the gold standard for labral imaging remains MR arthrography. However, given the rather long waiting list and cost implications, US may be used as a modality to quickly screen the shoulder for gross labral pathology. Whilst there is relative paucity of the literature outlining labral pathology on US, there is none correlating sonographic and corresponding MRI appearances. We present a pictorial review highlighting scanning positioning, US and corresponding MRI appearances of a normal labrum and various labral pathologies. We discuss useful scanning tips and characteristic US signs which can help the radiologist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetabular labral tear is a common pathology. In some clinical situations, primary labral repair may not be possible and labral reconstruction is indicated. PURPOSE AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Describe the anatomy of the indirect head of the rectus femoris (IHRF) tendon with clinical application in arthroscopic labral reconstruction surgery. METHODS Twenty-six cadaver hips were dissected. Thirteen measurements, each with clinical relevance to arthroscopic labral reconstruction using an IHRF tendon graft were taken on each hip. All measurements were taken in triplicate. Mean values, standard deviations and intra-observer reliability were calculated. RESULTS The mean footprint of the direct head of the rectus femoris tendon was 10.6 mm × 19.6 mm. The width and thickness at the confluence of both heads were 10.9 mm and 6.9 mm, respectively. The mean total length of the footprint and "free portion" of the IHRF was 55.3 mm, the mean cranial to caudal footprint measured at the 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, and 2 o'clock positions were 22.3 mm. The mean length of the Indirect Head footprint alone was 38.1 mm. The mean length of IHRF tendon suitable for grafting was 46.1 mm and the mean number of clock face sectors covered by this graft was 3.3 clock face sectors. Intra-observer reliability was ≥ 0.90 for all recorded measurements. The origin of the IHRF on the acetabulum fans out posteriorly, becoming thinner and wider as the origin travels posteriorly. The tendon footprint is firmly attached on the lateral wall of the ilium and becomes a free tendon overlying the acetabular bone as it travels anteriorly and distally towards its muscular attachment. CONCLUSION The IHRF tendon is in an ideal location for harvesting and contains the appropriate thickness, length and triangular architecture to serve as a safe and local graft source for acetabular labral reconstruction surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many active individuals undergo multiple dislocations during the course of a season before surgical treatment without considering the implications of each successive injury. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a multiple dislocation model for the glenohumeral joint and evaluate the resulting changes in joint function. METHODS Eight cadaveric shoulders were evaluated using a robotic testing system. A simulated clinical exam was performed by applying a 50 N anterior load to the humerus at 60° of glenohumeral abduction and external rotation. Each joint was then dislocated. The same loads were applied again and the resulting kinematics were recorded following each of 10 dislocations. The force required to achieve dislocation was recorded and capsulolabral status was assessed. FINDINGS A reproducible Bankart lesion was repeatedly created following the dislocation protocol. The force required for all dislocations significantly decreased following the 1st dislocation. In addition, even lower forces were required to achieve the 5th and subsequent dislocations (p < 0.05). Anterior translation in response to an anterior load during the simulated clinical exam increased between the intact and injured joints (p < 0.05). However, anterior translation reached a plateau following the 3rd to 10th dislocations and was increased compared with the 1st dislocation (p < 0.05). INTERPRETATION A repeatable Bankart lesion was not surgically made, but created by our new dislocation model. Joint function appeared to reach a constant level after the 3rd to 5th dislocations. Thus, multiple dislocations result in a deleterious dose dependent effect suggesting additional damage is not sustained after the fifth dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Controlled laboratory study.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), together with its two main pathomechanisms, cam and pincer, has become a trending topic since the end of the 1990s. Despite massive academic research, this hip disorder still conceals obscure aspects and unanswered questions that only a question-driven approach may settle. The pathway that leads a FAI asymptomatic morphology through a FAI syndrome to a FAI-related osteoarthritis is little known. Contact mechanics provides a shareable and persuasive perspective: cam FAI is based on shear contact stress at joint level with consequent cartilage wear; pincer FAI, contrariwise, determines normal contact stress between acetabular rim and femoral neck and squeezes the labrum in between, with no cartilage wear for many years from the onset. Pincer prognosis is then far better than cam. As a matter of fact, cartilage wear releases fragments of extracellular matrix which in turn trigger joint inflammation, with consequently worsening lubrication and further enhanced wear. Inflammation pathobiology feeds pathotribology through a vicious loop, finally leading to hip osteoarthritis. The association of cam and pincer, possibly overdiagnosed, is a synergic combination that may damage the joint rapidly and severely. The expectations after FAI surgical correction depend strictly on chondral layer imaging, on time elapsed from the onset of symptoms and on clinic-functional preoperative level. However, preemptive surgical correction is not recommended yet in asymptomatic FAI morphology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine how often patients with surgically proven labral tears have labral signal on shoulder MR arthrography (MRA) that is not equal to gadolinium or fluid on T1- and T2-weighted images, respectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with surgical repair of a SLAP or Bankart labral tear within 95 days of an MRA were included. Using cartilage signal as an internal reference, two musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologists retrospectively categorized labral signal as T1-hyperintense, T1-gadolinium, T2-hyperintense, or T2-fluid. In patients without T1-gadolinium or T2-fluid labral signal, secondary findings such as the orientation, extent, shape, and width of the abnormal signal was recorded. Statistical analyses were performed using Fisher's test and ANOVA. RESULTS Sixty-one labral tears (36 SLAP and 25 Bankart) in 54 patients (mean age, 30.7; F:M 8:46) met the inclusion criteria. In 67% and 76% of SLAP and Bankart labral tears, T1-gadolinium signal was present (p = 0.43). T2-fluid signal was present in 50% and 92% of these same labral tears (p = 0.001). The absence of T1-gadolinium or T2-fluid signal was more common in SLAP tears (33%) compared to Bankart tears (8%) (p = 0.02). In the SLAP cases, at least two secondary findings of a SLAP tear were present in 92% (11/12). CONCLUSIONS Lack of surfacing T1-gadolinium or T2-fluid labral signal is unusual in Bankart tears but relatively common in SLAP tears. However, a SLAP tear was diagnosed in 92% of these 12 cases when two secondary findings were present.

Abstract
Purpose Hip arthroscopy has been considered for treating hip dysplasia; however, its efficacy is still a matter of controversy. Here, we report outcomes of patients with borderline dysplasia treated with a contemporary hip arthroscopy technique. Materials and Methods Forty-seven hips with borderline hip dysplasia were treated using hip arthroscopy. Patients underwent procedures to correct torn labrums or ligamentum teres with additional procedure on the acetabular capsule. Patient outcomes were assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) and patient satisfaction. Risk factors for poor prognosis were also investigated. Results The mean follow up period was 25.9 months. At the last follow up, mean VAS score decreased from 6.1±1.6 to 3.5±2.8 (P=0.016). The mHHS and NHAS at the last follow up improved from 61.0±7.6 to 78.6±19.5 (P=0.001) and 62.1±7.5 to 80.0±18.5 (P=0.002), respectively. While significant improvement was observed in all patient reported outcome measures tested, 19 (40.4%) hips indicated that “the operation was unsatisfactory.” The only factor shown to influence outcomes was preoperative VAS (i.e., worse scores potentially an indicator of poor outcomes). Conclusion The results of the current study indicate that arthroscopic management may be beneficial for a subset of patients with borderline dysplasia; however, the dissatisfaction rate associated with this treatment approach may be as high as 40%. The poor preoperative pain score appears to be the sole indicator for poor outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hip magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) is the pre-operative imaging modality of choice in patients with labral damage, with several classifications of labral tears having been reported based on MRA findings. Nevertheless, none of the available classification systems allows the surgeon to predict before surgery how a labral tear could be treated. Our purpose was to develop a new MRA-based scoring system of labral tears to predict before surgery the treatment option more suitable for labral tears. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-seven patients (29 males and 18 females; mean age: 35.9 ± 12.4) performed hip MRA for suspicious of femoroacetabular impingement and were afterwards subjected to arthroscopic treatment. Two musculoskeletal radiologists reviewed all pre-operative examinations and provided the Extension-Thickness-Damage score for each patient, based on Extension of tear, Thickness of labrum, and type of Damage. Chondral lesions grading was based on the arthroscopic findings according to Konan classification. For statistical purposes, patients were divided into two groups, depending on the type of treatment: labral repair or debridement. Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square, receiver operator curves, and Cohen kappa statistics were used. RESULTS 35/47 underwent repair, while 12/47 were debrided. In both groups, the median chondral damage was grade III, with no significant differences (p = 0.439). The median Extension-Thickness-Damage score in the repair group (6) was significantly lower (p < 0.001) than that in the debridement group (8). The highest diagnostic performance (area under the curve) of Extension-Thickness-Damage was 0.819. The inter-observer agreement was substantial in the evaluation of Extension (k = 0.626) and Thickness (k = 0.771), and almost perfect for Damage (k = 0.827). Higher scores of Extension and Thickness were more frequently associated with debridement (p < 0.001; p = 0.0016, respectively), with no significant differences on the basis of Damage parameter (p = 0.284). CONCLUSIONS The MRA-based Extension-Thickness-Damage score could represent a helpful pre-operative tool, expressing the extent of the damage and its reparability before arthroscopy.

Surgical treatment outcomes after primary vs recurrent anterior shoulder instability. J Clin Orthop Trauma 2019; 10:222-230. [PMID: 30828182 PMCID: PMC6383179 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2018.10.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2018] [Revised: 10/16/2018] [Accepted: 10/20/2018] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of surgical management after primary anterior shoulder dislocation to the outcomes of patients who have surgical stabilization after recurrent anterior shoulder instability. METHODS A Medline (PubMed) search was performed in November of 2016 using the following key terms: shoulder, labrum, Bankart, instability, repair, outcome, recurrent. In May 2017 a Cochrane search was performed using similar key terms to ensure we included all studies. Only level I and II studies were included. RESULTS There were three studies that compared primary repair to delayed repair. In all three studies, the rate of recurrence was higher in group R than group S. When pooled, there was not a statistically significant difference between these groups, but there was a slightly higher odds of recurrence in group R (pooled OR 2.08, CI 0.69-6.26, p = 0.19). No significant differences were appreciated in functional outcomes or complications in these two groups. CONCLUSION Further level I and level II studies to compare surgical treatment after first time and recurrent instability are needed. This study failed to find a statistically significant difference in recurrence rates in patients who had stabilization acutely after a single episode compared to patients with recurrent instability events, although results suggest there may be a small benefit in primary stabilization.

Abstract
Background: The management of Type-II superior labral tears (SLAP) of the shoulder remains a controversial topic. Treatment ranges from non-operative management to surgical management including SLAP repair, biceps tenotomy, and biceps tenodesis. An optimal treatment algorithm has yet to reach universal acceptance. Objective: The goal of this paper was to provide a treatment algorithm for the management of Type-II SLAP tears based on current literature and expert opinion. Method: Current literature was reviewed and expert opinion was reported to develop a comprehensive treatment protocol for patients based on age, activity level, and pathology. Results: Operative management of type-II SLAP tears yields good to excellent outcomes when proper indications are followed. Biceps tenodesis may produce more reliable pain relief and functional improvement when compared to primary SLAP repair in patients over the age of 40. Conclusion: When non-operative management of Type-II SLAP tears fails, operative management yields good to excellent outcomes in most patients. Primary SLAP repair should be performed in patients under the age of 40 with no evidence of proximal biceps pathology, while biceps tenodesis can provide consistent pain relief and return to activity in patients over the age of 40 or with significant proximal biceps pathology. Tenotomy should be reserved for elderly or low demand individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various protocols exist for magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) of the shoulder, including 3D isotropic scanning and positioning in neutral (2D neutral MRA), or abduction-external-rotation (ABER). HYPOTHESIS MRA does not improve diagnostic accuracy for labral tears when compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed using 3-Tesla (3T) magnets. METHOD Systematic review of the Cochrane, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases according to PRISMA guidelines. Included studies compared 3T MRI or 3T MRA (index tests) to arthroscopic findings (reference test). Methodological appraisal performed using QUADAS-2. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were calculated. RESULTS Ten studies including 929 patients were included. Index test bias and applicability were a concern in the majority of studies. The use of arthroscopy as the reference test raised concern of verification bias in all studies. For anterior labral lesions, 3T MRI was less sensitive (0.83 vs. 0.87 p = 0.083) than 3T 2D neutral MRA. Compared to 3T 2D neutral MRA, both 3T 3D Isotropic MRA and 3T ABER MRA significantly improved sensitivity (0.87 vs. 0.95 vs. 0.94). For SLAP lesions, 3T 2D neutral MRA was of similar sensitivity to 3T MRI (0.84 vs. 0.83, p = 0.575), but less specific (0.99 vs. 0.92 p < 0.0001). For posterior labral lesions, 3T 2D neutral MRA had greater sensitivity than 3T 3D Isotropic MRA and 3T MRI (0.90 vs. 0.83 vs. 0.83). CONCLUSIONS At 3-T, MRA improved sensitivity for diagnosis of anterior and posterior labral lesions, but reduced specificity in diagnosis of SLAP tears. 3T MRA with ABER positioning further improved sensitivity in diagnosis of anterior labral tears.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review discusses the diagnostic and treatment challenges presented by injuries to the biceps and superior labral complex. RECENT FINDINGS A focused patient history, numerous physical examination maneuvers, and appropriate advanced imaging studies must be utilized to reach an accurate diagnosis. Nonoperative management, even in overhead athletes, has demonstrated relatively good outcomes, while operative outcomes have yielded mixed results. The surgeon must take into account a number of variables when choosing the appropriate surgical procedure: labral repair versus biceps tenodesis. Rehabilitation, either as nonoperative management or as a postoperative protocol, should focus on restoring glenohumeral and scapulothoracic strength, endurance, and full, pain-free range of motion, while correcting any deficiencies in balance or rhythm throughout the overhead motion. Despite the operative treatment challenges that SLAP tears present, with new techniques and proper patient selection, overhead athletes with injuries to the biceps and superior labrum complex can return to sport at a high level.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the hip can result from mechanical factors, which can be studied using finite element (FE) analysis. FE studies of the hip often assume there is no significant loss of fluid pressurization in the articular cartilage during simulated activities and approximate the material as incompressible and elastic. This study examined the conditions under which interstitial fluid load support remains sustained during physiological motions, as well as the role of the labrum in maintaining fluid load support and the effect of its presence on the solid phase of the surrounding cartilage. We found that dynamic motions of gait and squatting maintained consistent fluid load support between cycles, while static single-leg stance experienced slight fluid depressurization with significant reduction of solid phase stress and strain. Presence of the labrum did not significantly influence fluid load support within the articular cartilage, but prevented deformation at the cartilage edge, leading to lower stress and strain conditions in the cartilage. A morphologically accurate representation of collagen fibril orientation through the thickness of the articular cartilage was not necessary to predict fluid load support. However, comparison with simplified fibril reinforcement underscored the physiological importance. The results of this study demonstrate that an elastic incompressible material approximation is reasonable for modeling a limited number of cyclic motions of gait and squatting without significant loss of accuracy, but is not appropriate for static motions or numerous repeated motions. Additionally, effects seen from removal of the labrum motivate evaluation of labral reattachment strategies in the context of labral repair.

Abstract
Arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization is a well-established and broadly accepted procedure to treat posttraumatic shoulder instability. Advantages in comparison to open stabilization procedures include improved visualization of the structural damage and a less invasive approach. Technical developments in recent years have led to further improvement of the arthroscopic technique for shoulder instability. This article presents a description of principles and new developments as it contains basic techniques including patient positioning, access portals, preparation of the glenoid bone, soft tissue handling and shuttle techniques. Modern suture anchor systems to achieve arthroscopic stabilization with the corresponding advantages and disadvantages are also presented. Furthermore, the limitations and long-term results of arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization are discussed.

Abstract
Background Tsetse flies (genus Glossina) are large blood-sucking dipteran flies that are important as vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse anatomy has been well described, including detailed accounts of the functional anatomy of the proboscis for piercing host skin and sucking up blood. The proboscis also serves as the developmental site for the infective metacyclic stages of several species of pathogenic livestock trypanosomes that are inoculated into the host with fly saliva. To understand the physical environment in which these trypanosomes develop, we have re-examined the microarchitecture of the tsetse proboscis. Results We examined proboscises from male and female flies of Glossina pallidipes using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Each proboscis was removed from the fly head and either examined intact or dissected into the three constituent components: Labrum, labium and hypopharynx. Our light and SEM images reaffirm earlier observations that the tsetse proboscis is a formidably armed weapon, well-adapted for piercing skin, and provide comparative data for G. pallidipes. In addition, the images reveal that the hypopharynx, the narrow tube that delivers saliva to the wound site, ends in a remarkably ornate and complex structure with around ten finger-like projections, each adorned with sucker-like protrusions, contradicting previous descriptions that show a simple, bevelled end like a hypodermic needle. The function of the finger-like projections is speculative; they appear to be flexible and may serve to protect the hypopharynx from influx of blood or microorganisms, or control the flow of saliva. Proboscises were examined after colonisation by Trypanosoma congolense savannah. Consistent with the idea that colonisation commences in the region nearest the foregut, the highest densities of trypanosomes were found in the region of the labrum proximal to the bulb, although high densities were also found in other regions of the labrum. Trypanosomes were visible through the thin wall of the hypopharynx by both light microscopy and SEM. Conclusions We highlight the remarkable architecture of the tsetse proboscis, in particular the intricate structure of the distal end of the hypopharynx. Further work is needed to elucidate the function of this intriguing structure.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the existing literature from 2005 to 2016 reporting on the efficacy of surgical management of patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) secondary to slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Methods The electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed were searched and screened in duplicate. Data such as patient demographics, surgical technique, surgical outcomes and complications were retrieved from eligible studies. Results Fifteen eligible level IV studies were included in this review comprising 261 patients (266 hips). Treatment groups included arthroscopic osteochondroplasty, surgical hip dislocation, and traditional open osteotomy. The mean alpha angle corrections were 32.14° (standard deviation (sd) 7.02°), 41.45° (sd 10.5°) and 6.0° (sd 5.21°), for arthroscopy, surgical hip dislocation, and open osteotomy groups, respectively (p < 0.05). Each group demonstrated satisfactory clinical outcomes across their respective scoring systems. Major complication rates were 1.6%, 10.7%, and 6.7%, for arthroscopy, surgical dislocation and osteotomy treatments, respectively. Conclusion In the context of SCFE-related FAI, surgical hip dislocation demonstrated improved correction of the alpha angle, albeit at higher complication and revision rates than both arthroscopic and open osteotomy treatments. Further investigation, including high-quality trials with standardised radiological and clinical outcome measures for young patients, is warranted to clarify treatment approaches and safety.
