Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Epidural Anesthesia, Intra-articular Injection, and Local Infiltration Analgesia in Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Hip arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) often results in substantial postoperative pain, necessitating effective analgesic strategies. While epidural anesthesia (Epi), intra-articular injection (IA), and local infiltration analgesia (LIA) are commonly used, direct comparisons of their efficacy and safety in this population remain limited. This study aimed to retrospectively compare these three modalities with respect to postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and adverse events of Epi, IA, and LIA in patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS.

Labral reconstruction for irreparable labral tears in adolescents and young adults: positive functional improvement and high survivorship at 5-year follow-up
The acetabular labrum is a crucial component for the hip joint stability. Studies have demonstrated its role in maintaining intra-articular synovial fluid pressurization-creating negative intra-articular pressure. Additionally, the labrum enhances joint stability by increasing acetabular volume by 33%, deepening the socket, and improving resistance to lateral and vertical motion of the femoral head within the acetabulum
Everything You Need To Know About Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, the tendon that connects your calf muscles at the back of your lower leg to your heel bone. When you walk, run, or jump, you are using your Achilles tendon.
