Labral preservation and baseline osteoarthritis influence long-term degenerative outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The ligamentum teres (LT) is frequently found injured during hip arthroscopy in young, active patients, yet its functional relevance remains uncertain. Although not a primary stabilizer, the LT may contribute to intra-articular pain through nociceptive and proprioceptive mechanisms.
A spine you can hold in your hands may help surgeons in the most challenging operations
According to a new study, 3D-printed spine models may support the work of spine surgeons, particularly in understanding highly complex cases and planning surgical procedures. The findings come from a study conducted at the Doctoral School of Semmelweis University and published in the journal World Neurosurgery.

Arthroscopic Versus Open Elbow Debridements Among ABOS Part II Candidates: A Decline in Arthroscopic Volume yet Fewer Complications After Arthroscopic Procedures
Loose body removal and debridement remain common indications for elbow arthroscopy. This study identifies trends in elbow arthroscopy versus open procedures for loose body removal and debridement among American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Part II Oral Examination candidates and compares the use of elbow arthroscopy among candidates with different fellowship training backgrounds.
Arthroscopic repair of posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears provides good clinical outcomes despite high re-tear rate in the mid-term
Arthroscopic repair of posterosuperior MRCT provides significant pain and function improvement. Despite a high retear rate, mid-term clinical results remain favorable, with low complication and revision rates.

AI can predict spine surgery risks, but can surgeons trust it?
In neurosurgery, few decisions carry as much weight as whether to operate. For patients with complex spinal conditions, the difference between intervention and observation can hinge on a fragile balance of risks, complications, recovery time, long-term function, many of which are difficult to predict with certainty. Now, AI is beginning to reshape that calculation.
