Background: Corticosteroid injections are a common treatment for rotator cuff tears. Because of concerns infection, surgical procedure is often delayed following injections. The purpose this investigation was to determine if there temporal relationship between corticosteroid and the risk site infection after arthroscopic repair. We hypothesized that incidence higher in patients who received preoperative injection exists manner as those receiving an closer operative date have infection....
Little is known regarding the rates and risk factors for long-term postoperative opioid use among opioid-naïve patients undergoing elective shoulder surgery.To identify (1) proportion of surgery, (2) these patients, (3) associated with use.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A retrospective review a private administrative claims database was performed to those individuals who underwent surgery between 2007 2015. "Opioid-naïve" were identified as had not filled an prescription in 180 days before...
ABSTRACT The diagnosis of fracture risk relies almost solely on quantifying bone mass, yet strength is governed by factors at multiple scales including composition and structure that contribute to resistance. Furthermore, aging conditions such as diabetes mellitus alter incidence independently mass. Therefore, it critical incorporate other in order improve diagnostic specificity risk. We examined the correlation between femoral neck female cadavers areal mineral density, along with...
A longer operative time has been previously recognized as a risk factor for short-term complications after various orthopaedic procedures; however, it yet to be investigated an independent postoperative anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.To identify whether in ACL reconstruction is the development of complications, hospital readmissions, or extended length stay within 30 days index procedure.Descriptive epidemiology study.Patients undergoing between 2005 and 2016 were identified...
Abstract Introduction: Recently, a biologic scaffold combining allograft cartilage and autologous platelet-rich plasma (BioCartilage®) has been introduced to augment microfracture treatment of symptomatic chondral defects the hip. Purpose: To evaluate rates achieving meaningful outcomes clinical failure at 2-year follow up among patients who underwent arthroscopic augmented with BioCartilage for full-thickness damage, determine whether defect size influences functional outcomes. Methods:...
Operative time is a risk factor for short-term complications after orthopaedic procedures; however, it has yet to be investigated as an independent postoperative arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.To determine whether operative complications, readmissions, and extended hospital stays within 30 days repair.Descriptive epidemiology study.The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried all hospital-based inpatient outpatient repairs (Current Procedural...
Patellar tendon ruptures commonly are repaired using transosseous patellar drill tunnels with modified-Krackow sutures in the tendon. This simple suture technique has been associated failure rates and poor clinical outcomes a modest proportion of patients. Failure this repair can result from gap formation during loading or single catastrophic event. Several augmentation techniques have described to improve integrity repair, but standardized biomechanical evaluation strength among different...
The management of superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) tears remains controversial, with surgical treatment options including SLAP repair, debridement, open or arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (BT), based on patient factors the type tear.We hypothesized that repair has become less frequently performed over time, while BT is more performed, particularly in patients ≥ 40 years.Descriptive epidemiology study.A retrospective query was using Humana insurance database from years 2007 to...
