The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used, and the protocol was registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (CRD42023447774). Studies of interest were prospective, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published between 2002 and 2023 evaluating the impact of EAA supplementation on patients undergoing orthopedic and spine surgery. <i>Results:</i> Ten RCTs evaluating EAA supplementation in trauma, adult reconstruction, and spine surgery were identified; half of these focused on adult reconstruction. The EAA supplementation dose (3.4-20 g), frequency (daily to 3 times per day), and duration (14-49 days) varied widely across studies. Seven studies reported parameters relating to muscle size and/or composition, with 3 studies reporting superior muscle size/composition in patients receiving perioperative EAA supplementation, when compared with controls. Three studies reported favorable mobility outcomes for patients receiving EAA. Meta-analysis was prohibited by variation in measurement and outcome variables across the studies. <i>Conclusions:</i> Pooled data from level I studies supports the use of EAA, BCAA, and CEAA supplementations across several orthopedic subspecialties.

Thus, templating methods typically use size of the intact contralateral hip to estimate length. Common reference points include the distance from the lesser trochanter to the center of the femoral head (LTC) and femoral head diameter (FHD). <i>Objectives</i>: We sought to (1) investigate the LTC:FHD ratio as a preoperative templating method and (2) compare this method with calibrated LTC measurements. <i>Methods</i>: We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing primary THA between 2021 and 2022 with recorded intraoperative measurements of LTC and FHD at a single academic orthopedic specialty hospital. Preoperative hip X-rays were used to determine the \"predicted LTC length\" with 2 separate methods: the LTC:FHD ratio yielding the \"Ratio Predicted LTC\" and the calibrated measurements method yielding the \"Calibrated Predicted LTC.\" These measurements were compared with intraoperative measurements of the LTC length to determine accuracy. <i>Results</i>: Sixty-two hips in 59 patients were studied. The ratio predicted LTC and contralateral ratio predicted LTC length showed no significant difference from the intraoperative LTC length with a strong correlation between the 2 measurements (correlation coefficient = 0.77 and 0.80). The calibrated predicted LTC lengths were significantly different from the intraoperative LTC lengths (mean difference, 3.0 mm; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [2.2, 3.8]). <i>Conclusions</i>: This retrospective review suggests the LTC:FHD ratio multiplied by intraoperative FHD may be an accurate method for restoring anatomic femoral head height in THA (LTC<sub>a</sub> = [LTC<sub>r</sub>/FHD<sub>r</sub>] × FHD<sub>a</sub>).
