Abstract:
Hip arthroscopy is a technically demanding procedure that is currently characterized by a "steep" learning curve. Therefore, achieving an advanced technical level is often challenging, especially for the amateur hip arthroscopist. Hand laterality when training in hip arthroscopy is an aspect that has been omitted. In addition, the technical differences regarding the handling of the surgical instruments when performing hip arthroscopy on the left versus right hip can influence the technical excellence. This Technical Note summarizes our preferred hip arthroscopy technique by comparing the surgeon's hand position when operating on the left versus right hip. We also emphasize how the surgeon's hand laterality affects the instrument manipulation during the procedure and potentially the clinical outcomes.

Heating and Cooling Curves
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
