ImportanceBiomarkers have promising potential to provide a cost-effective tool to identify patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) who are most at risk and who may benefit most from early joint preservation surgery.ObjectiveTo assess the potential role of biomarkers in the diagnosis and prognosis of FAI.Evidence reviewThree databases (PubMed, Ovid (MEDLINE) and Embase) were searched on 20 August 2017 from database inception, and two reviewers independently and in duplicate screened the resulting literature. Methodological quality of all included papers was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies criteria. The results are presented in a narrative summary fashion using descriptive statistics including means, proportions and ranges.FindingsSeven studies (one retrospective laboratory series and six controlled laboratory studies) were identified including a total of 227 patients. The mean age of the patients was 41.6 years (range: 13–80), with a mean follow-up period of 29.9 months (SD=3.2). Markers of articular cartilage breakdown, including cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and fibronectin–aggrecan complex (FAC), were identified in high concentrations in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with FAI, respectively. Moreover, mRNA expression of catabolic cytokines in the articular cartilage of patients with FAI has been reported.Conclusions and relevanceAlthough not yet used in clinical settings, several biomarkers of articular cartilage damage have been identified in the serum, synovial fluid and articular cartilage of patients with FAI. These findings provide promising insight into the potential role of biomarkers in guiding clinical practice and assisting with patient selection and preoperative counselling in patients with FAI and should be evaluated further.Level of evidenceIV, systematic review of level III and IV studies.

The Relationship

The rise of e-commerce has brought considerable changes to the relationship between firms and consumers, especially within international business. Hence, understanding the use of such means for entering foreign markets has become critical for companies. However, the research on this issue is new and so it is important to evaluate what has been studied in the past. In this study, we conduct a systematic review of e-commerce and internationalisation studies to explicate how firms use e-commerce to enter new markets and to export. The studies are classified by theories and methods used in the literature. Moreover, we draw upon the internationalisation decision process (antecedents-modalities-consequences) to propose an integrative framework for understanding the role of e-commerce in internationalisation
