Okay, does anybody have any questions for any of our authors? So I didn't go into it in the slides, but we actually measured it two different ways. So creating a horizontal line between the teardrops, the inferior teardrops, and then making a line 90 degrees to that, horizontal, and then measuring to the edge of the source seal. So that's one way that the LCEA has been described. And then the other way is making a horizontal line at the bottom of the ischium and using that same method. So it's part of a larger study that we're actually going to look at both of those, which is more accurate. I have a question for Dr. Nozzle, if I pronounced your name right. Either I didn't listen carefully enough, or did you take into account the misdiagnoses of abductor pain, such as associated low back pain, or also SI joint pain in those patients? And number two, I may have heard it, but did you also take into account fatty degeneration of the abductor, especially gluteus medius? Sorry, can you repeat the second question? Did you take into account fatty degeneration of the gluteus medius? Because you got 100%, it looked like your limbs all went away, and if there's fatty degeneration, it's tough for that to go away. Absolutely. So the MRI was key to answer the first question. So in terms of lumbar or lower back etiologies, the MRI was really key in terms of evaluating for L5 radiculopathy. In addition to that, physical exam was also really helpful. We did not do any lower back injections in this cohort, but sometimes that is utilized to help sort of eliminate background noise of a lower back. But based on physical exam and MRI, we felt confident that this was coming from the abductors as opposed to an interarticular or a lower back. And in terms of the second question, we did not grade the fatty infiltration, but we did evaluate that in terms of determining whether or not patients were good candidates for operative intervention. Similar to a rotator cuff tear of the shoulder, if there is a significant amount of muscle infiltration of atrophy due to fat, then oftentimes patients tend to have suboptimal performance outcomes. We had a retrospective study where we looked at abductor tears, and we noted that even if they did have a significant amount of fatty infiltration, a lot of times the PROMs or their functional outcomes were not great, but patients still invoked a significant amount of pain relief. So a lot of times, even if the patient has a very bad quality of life, it is still worthwhile to pursue operative management to help them with the pain relief. Got it. Thanks. I would agree with that, by the way. Okay. Well, thank you very much to our authors. We're going to bring John Kelly up now.
