Background: Trigger finger (TF) causes pain and functional impairment. Previous studies have associated TF with carpal tunnel syndrome, which has been linked to obesity. This study investigated the relationship between obesity prevalence of TF. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from TriNetX Research Network (2006-2024). Patients risk factors for (rheumatoid arthritis, gout, amyloidosis, prior release, spontaneous rupture flexor tendons, hypothyroidism, Dupuytren...
Study Design. A retrospective review of radiographic data and functional outcomes. Objective. The aim this study was to evaluate whether myelopathy symptom severity upon presentation corresponds sagittal plane alignment or nonmyelopathy symptoms, such as pain, in patients with cervical spondylotic (CSM). Summary Background Data. Cervical balance is an important parameter the outcome surgical reconstruction. However, effect on who have not undergone spine surgery well defined. Methods....
Background: Although orthopaedic surgeons have been shown to prescribe excessive amounts of opioid analgesics postoperatively, the degree in which surgical trainees contribute this trend is unknown. The purpose study was compare self-reported opioid-prescribing behavior, factors influencing and perceptions patient utilization disposal between hand trainees. Methods: Attending hand, orthopaedic, plastic surgery programs were invited participate a web-based survey including demographic...
The study design is a retrospective cohort study.To compare patient-reported outcomes between patients with mild versus moderate-to-severe myelopathy following surgery for cervical spondylotic (CSM).Recent studies have demonstrated that decompression CSM leads to improved quality of life when measured by outcomes. However, it unknown if preoperative classification predictive superior postoperative improvements.A review treated surgically at single institution from 2014 2015 was performed....
To (1) determine the ability of Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) to identify probability contralateral hip fractures within 2 years index fracture and (2) independent risk factors for a subsequent fracture.Retrospective.Urban, academic medical center.This study included consecutive series patients treated unilateral between September 2015 July 2019.Eight hundred thirty-two were in analysis with mean age 81.2 ± 9.9 years. Thirty-one (3.7%) sustained these sustaining second at 294.1 days...
Recurrent instability following thumb ulnar collateral ligament repair or reconstruction may result in pain and poor function. The use of certain suture anchors during the index procedure predispose patients to development osteolysis subsequent fixation failure. In this article, we describe an effective surgical technique for revision injuries using autograft suspensionplasty. This restores joint stability allows functional recovery with minimal postoperative complications.
Rationale: The goal of shared decision making is to match patient preferences, including evaluation potential future outcomes, with available management options. Yet, it unknown how patients smoking-related thoracic diseases or their surrogates display future-oriented thinking.Objectives: To document prevalent themes in patients’ and surrogate makers’ thinking when facing preference-sensitive choices.Methods: We conducted 44 scenario-based semistructured interviews among a diverse group...
Background: Small proximal pole scaphoid nonunions present a clinical challenge influenced by fragment size, vascular compromise, deforming forces exerted through the scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL), and potential articular fragmentation. Osteochondral autograft options for reconstruction include medial femoral trochlea, costochondral rib, or hamate. This study reports outcomes of patients treated with hamate osteochondral reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective review identified...
Overprescribing contributes to the misuse and overuse of narcotics. We hypothesized that implementation postoperative prescribing guidelines would consistently reduce amount opioids prescribed after ambulatory hand surgery.A divisional protocol was instituted in November 2018. A retrospective cohort study designed examine policy's effects on prescribing. Postoperative opioid prescriptions for patients undergoing surgery were evaluated 1 year before policy initiation. All converted into total...
Purpose: This study sought to examine the utilization of bone health evaluations in geriatric hip fracture patients and identify risk factors for development future fragility fractures.Materials Methods: Materials A consecutive series ≥55 years who underwent surgical management a between September 2015 July 2019 were identified.Chart review was performed evaluate post-injury follow-up, performance evaluation, use osteoporosis-related diagnostic pharmacologic treatment.Results: Results: total...
The etiology and pathogenesis of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) are attributable to abnormalities the proximal epiphysis. This study aimed examine if there is a difference in bone age patients diagnosed with SCFE compared without hip pathology.We identified consecutive series treated for between December 2012 2019 from departmental database. Retrospective chart review was performed collect demographic information patient medical history. We then obtained control group statistically...
Operative management of sternoclavicular fracture-dislocations is recommended in the setting symptomatic nonunion. Treatment options include open reduction internal fixation, fragment excision, and ligamentous reconstruction. We present a 29-year-old man with medial clavicle fracture nonunion that previously failed fixation was treated joint reconstruction using tendon allograft.
