Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation (ASMAR) is one of two open access companion journals to the well-regarded Arthroscopy. Its goal is to review and publish both clinical and basic science research that is valuable to healthcare professionals and scientific investigators. Managed by the same editorial team as Arthroscopy, ASMAR has a wide range of topics it covers. These include arthroscopic and related surgical techniques, orthopaedic and primary care sports medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation, athletic training, musculoskeletal imaging, economic studies, large database research, and public health issues.

A Recess Is Observed Between the Posterior Knee Capsule and the Meniscotibial Ligament Complex in Pediatric Specimens

Apr 17, 2024 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Marc Tompkins |Alexander Karius |Aleksei B. Dingel |Yi-Meng Yen

To define the surgical anatomy of the meniscotibial ligament complex of the pediatric medial and lateral menisci and their relation to the proximal tibial physis and posterior joint capsule. Fourteen pediatric cadaveric knee specimens (aged 3 months to 11 years) were dissected to clarify the relation of the posterior knee capsule, the meniscus, and the meniscotibial ligament complex. Metallic markers were placed marking the meniscotibial ligament capsular attachment on the proximal tibia.
Immune Hypersensitivity Is Associated With Higher Graft Failure Rate After Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Knee

Mar 28, 2024 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Michael Moore |Andrew Bi |Samuel Zverev |Guillem Gonzalez Lomas

Localized chondral lesions are a common knee pathology.1 Osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is a restorative technique for addressing articular cartilage defects that involves the transfer of mature viable chondrocytes with subchondral bone from cadaveric donors into size-matched lesions.2,3 OCA has become an increasingly popular procedure, with a growth in the number of procedures performed in the United States from 660 cases in 2005 to 1,619 transplants in 2011 and has continued...
Previous Knee Surgery, Anteromedial Portal Drilling, Quadriceps Tendon Autograft, and Meniscal Involvement Associated With Delayed Return to Sport After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Amateur Athletes

Feb 17, 2024 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Mark Glover |Danielle Rider |Garrett S Bullock |Nihir Parikh

To identify prognostic factors associated with a delayed return-to-sport (RTS) time in amateur athletes who return to full participation after a primary isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A retrospective review was performed among athletes who underwent ACL reconstruction between October 2014 and October 2021. Inclusion criteria were any amateur athletes with an ACL reconstruction who had a documented RTS and greater than 1-year follow-up.
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation Is Not Better Than Arthroscopic Debridement for the Treatment of Symptomatic Cartilage Lesions of the Knee: Two-Year Results From a Randomized-Controlled Trial

Feb 16, 2024 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Per-Henrik Randsborg |Jan E. Brinchmann |Christian Owesen |Lars Engebretsen

To compare the functional and patient-reported outcome measures after autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and arthroscopic debridement (AD) in symptomatic, isolated cartilage injuries larger than 2 cm2 in patients aged 18 to 50 years. Twenty-eight patients were included and randomized to ACI (n = 15) or AD (n = 13) and followed for 2 years. The primary outcome was the change in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Quality of Life (QoL) subscale.
The Insertion of a Subacromial Balloon Spacer Can Provide Symptom Relief and Functional Improvement at a Minimum 5-Year Follow-Up in Patients With Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears

Feb 7, 2024 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Mohamad Y. Fares |Jonathan Koa |Jaspal Singh |Joseph Abboud

To examine long-term patient-reported outcomes and range of motion in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs) who underwent subacromial balloon spacer implantation. A retrospective review of all patients who underwent subacromial balloon placement procedure for MIRCTs at our institution was conducted. Patients with adequate preoperative and postoperative data, with at least 5 years of follow-up, were included in our study.
Adding Lateral Retinacular Release to Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Fails to Demonstrate Clinical Benefit Compared With Isolated Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

Feb 5, 2024 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Timothy Waters |Evan Miller |Edward Beck

To compare functional outcomes and failure rates between medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstructions with and without lateral retinacular release (LRR) at minimum 1-year follow up.
A High Incidence of Perineal Post-Related Complications After Hip Arthroscopy Is Self-Reported by Patients in Anonymous Online Forums

Dec 28, 2023 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Byrd J.W |Byrne D.P |Houston Methodist Orthopedics |Brendan M. Holderread

To evaluate online, self-reported pudendal nerve or perineal injuries related to the use of a perineal post during hip arthroscopy. Public posts on Reddit and the Health Organization for Pudendal Education were searched to identify anonymous individuals reporting symptoms of pudendal nerve or perineal injury following hip arthroscopy.
No Difference in Recurrent Instability Between Knotted and Knotless Repair Techniques in Arthroscopic Treatment of Isolated Posterior Labral Tears: A Systematic Review

Dec 20, 2023 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Mikalyn T. DeFoor |San Antonio |Emily McDermott |Jonathan F. Dickens

AbstractTo compare clinical failure, recurrent instability, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and return to sport (RTS) between knotted and knotless fixation methods in arthroscopic posterior labral repair for isolated posterior shoulder instability (PSI).
Microdrilling Resulted in Less Subchondral Bone Destruction Than a Traditional Microfracture Awl for Articular Cartilage Defect Bone Marrow Stimulation

Sep 15, 2023 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Lucy Meyer |Richard Danilkowicz |Zoe Hinton |Bryan S. Crook

The purpose of this study was to compare bone marrow stimulation using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis of an abrasion arthroplasty technique, drilling k-wire technique, traditional microfacture awl, or a microdrill instrument for subchondral bone defects. Eleven cadaveric distal femoral specimens were obtained and divided into 3 common areas of osteochondral defect: trochlea and weightbearing portions of the medial and lateral femoral condyles.
After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury, Patients With Medicaid Insurance Experience Delayed Care and Worse Clinical Outcomes Than Patients With Non-Medicaid Insurance

Sep 8, 2023 | arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org | Matthew T. Kingery |Daniel Kaplan |Eric Strauss |Sehar Resad

To evaluate the effects of socioeconomic factors on the operative treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries and outcomes following surgical reconstruction. A retrospective cohort study of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries at a single institution performed from 2011 to 2015 with minimum 2-year follow-up was conducted.
