Extremity fractures are common, and most managed operatively; however, despite successful reduction, up to half of patients report persistent post-surgical pain. Furthermore, psychological factors such as stress, distress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, fear-avoidance behaviors have been associated with the development chronic The purpose this pilot study was examine feasibility a randomized controlled trial determine effect in-person cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) vs. usual care...
Outcomes following surgery to operatively manage extremity fractures are variable, and up two-thirds of patients report chronic post-surgical pain. Preliminary evidence suggests that psychotherapy directed at improving coping skills reducing somatic vigilance may improve outcomes among fracture patients. The objective this pilot study was test the feasibility acceptability a randomized controlled trial comparing an online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) program versus usual care in with...
Chronic, non-cancer pain affects approximately 20-30% of the population in North America, Europe, and Australia, with surgery trauma frequently cited as inciting events. Prospective studies fracture patients have demonstrated an association between somatic pre-occupation, poor coping, low recovery expectations following persistent pain, functional limitations, lower rates return to work. Psychological interventions, such cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), that are designed modify unhelpful...
Open fractures of the talar body and neck are uncommon. Previous reports associated deep infection rates resulting surgical requirements vary widely. The primary objective this study is to report incidence infections for isolated open fractures, secondarily number total surgeries performed (TSP), secondary salvage procedures (SSPs), nonsalvage (NSPs).
Introduction When considering treatment options for geriatric patients with lower extremity fractures, little is known about which outcomes are prioritized by patients. This study aimed to determine the patient preferences after a fracture. Materials and Methods We administered discrete choice experiment survey 150 who were at least 60 years of age treated fracture Level I trauma center. The presented participants 8 sets hypothetical outcome comparisons, including joint preservation (yes or...

INTRODUCTION: Despite the medical necessity, legislative mandates, and economic benefits of gender-affirming surgery, access to treatment remains limited. World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has proposed guidelines transition-related surgery in conjunction with criteria delineate necessity. We assessed insurance coverage “top” evaluated differences between policy WPATH recommendations. METHODS: conducted a cross-sectional analysis policies top surgery. Insurance...
