Racial and ethnic disparities in orthopedic surgery may be associated with worse perioperative complications. For patients hip fractures, studies have shown that early surgery, typically within 24 to 48 hours of admission, decrease postoperative morbidity mortality. Our objective was determine whether race is longer time from hospital presentation increased complications.We queried the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database 2011 2017 for (> 65 years) fractures who underwent...
Background An abundance of research has been published recently regarding robotic and navigation-assisted knee arthroplasty. Dimensions is a modern-linked database that uses machine-learning cloud-computing to aggregate grants, publications, citations, clinical trials, patents in one place. Using data, this study examines the evolution knowledge funding for robotic/navigated Methods was queried patents, trials related arthroplasty robotics/navigation. There were no geographic or date-range...
Background: The goals of this study were to compare the utilization and costs ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) versus hospital outpatient department (HOPD) for commonly performed orthopaedic surgical procedures. Methods: Commercially insured patients undergoing elective, queried using an administrative claims database. We following surgeries: carpal tunnel release, lumbar microdiskectomy, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, knee arthroscopy, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, bunion...

<h3>Background:</h3> The United States is facing a widespread opioid epidemic that disproportionately affects the working-age population. In clinical setting, new low back pain one of most common reasons for prescriptions, despite national recommendations advising against their use until nonopioid treatments have been trialed. this study, we aimed to examine prescribing practices among primary care physicians after evaluation in patients. <h3>Method:</h3> This study used claims database9s...
Introduction: As healthcare costs continue to increase in the United States, it is important understand trends allocation of spending for common orthopaedic surgical procedures. We investigated recent (1) total net payments (for episode care), (2) hospitals, (3) physicians, (4) physicians as a percentage payments, and (5) regional variation hospital physician four Methods: Using private insurance claims database, we analyzed US hospitals from 2010 2016 primary hip arthroplasty (THA) (n =...
The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes between orthopaedic trainees using various preoperative training platforms (physical simulation [PS], virtual reality [VR], and reading/videos) in a slipped capital femoral epiphysis model.Participants were randomly assigned one the three groups: (1) reading/video control group (n = 7), (2) VR or (3) PS 7). Participants completed module while participants practiced placement screw physical before evaluation percutaneous model. Outcomes...
Introduction: Opioid prescribing patterns play an important role in the opioid epidemic United States. The purpose of this study is to examine trends and geographic variation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Hypothesis: Regional differences ACL reconstruction are present. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Level Evidence: 4. Methods: Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Claims database was used analyze all patients with perioperative private insurance coverage...
Objective The aim of this study was to compare all-cause reoperation rates and costs in nonelderly patients treated with anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) structural allograft versus synthetic cages for degenerative pathology. Methods We queried a private claims database identify adult (≤ 65 years) who underwent single-level ACDF hospital setting using either or cage (polyetheretherketone, metal, hybrid device), from 2010 2016. rate reoperations at 2 years were compared between the...
Background: Tobacco use significantly increases the rate of wound complications in patients undergoing total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Preoperative optimization through smoking cessation programs minimizes infection and improves healing procedures. Despite its utility, minimal research has examined cost-effectiveness preoperative to reduce need for extracapsular irrigation debridement (I&D) due following TAA. Methods: The cost an I&D procedure was obtained from our institution’s...

The aim this study was to investigate variations in surgical case volume US for spinal arthrodesis pediatric patients with scoliosis. Summary Background Data. Approximately 38,000 procedures are performed each year United States Anecdotally, spine surgeons report performing more scoliosis during summer months before national holidays than other periods, but has not been...
