Design: Retrospective database analysis. Objective: This study aims to assess the RVU compensation model for most common spine surgeries. Background: Physician work is commonly valued by utilizing relative value unit (RVU) compensation. Our aim in this was and per minute valuations of procedures comparing cervical versus lumbar fusion non-fusion cases. Methods: The ACS-NSQIP utilized identify performed procedures. values were calculated compared each group. Results: In all, 18,779 entries...
Although technology-assisted total hip arthroplasty (TA-THA) may improve implant positioning, it remains unknown whether TA-THA confers improved clinical outcomes. We sought to examine national utilization trends and compare outcomes between unassisted THA (U-THA).Patients who underwent primary, elective from 2010 2018 were identified using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Demographic, perioperative, 30-day queried collected. Patients...
Aims We sought to compare functional outcomes and survival between non-smokers, former smokers, current smokers who underwent anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) in a large cohort of patients. Methods A retrospective review prospectively collected database was performed August 1991 September 2020 identify patients primary aTSA. Patients were excluded for preoperative diagnoses fracture, infection, or oncological disease. Three cohorts created based on smoking status: smokers....
While technology-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TA-TKA) improves implant positioning, whether it confers improved clinical outcomes remains inconclusive. We sought to examine national TA-TKA utilization trends and compare between unassisted TKA (U-TKA).Patients who underwent primary, elective from 2010 2018 were identified using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Demographic, perioperative, 30-day collected. Patients stratified...
To assess the state of current practice in coagulation laboratories regarding three pressing issues: staffing, handling Ebola specimens, and testing/billing for tests that measure direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC).A survey analysis specialized North America was conducted.Approximately 4,000 special tests-per-technologist-per-year rated as either a "good" staffing level or "adequate-but-ideally-need-more" employees. Requiring technologists to perform more than an "inadequate" level. For...
An adult reconstruction (AR) fellowship is designed to provide advanced training for a broad range of primary reconstructive and complex knee revision surgeries. This study aims identify outcome differences between total arthroplasty (TKA) performed by AR fellowship-trained surgeons non-AR (NAR) surgeons.We retrospectively reviewed 7415 patients who underwent TKA from 2016 2020. Two cohorts were established based on whether the operation was an or NAR surgeon. Demographic, clinical data,...
To assess whether reimbursement for orthopaedic sports procedures adequately compensates operative time and surgical complexity.
Background: This study aims to investigate whether compensation is equitable among the most commonly performed orthopedic hand surgeries and when compared with general procedures. Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for all procedures, from 2016 2018, more than 150 times using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Physician work relative value unit (wRVU) data were obtained 2020 US Centers Medicare Medicaid Services fee schedule. Linear...
Computed tomography (CT) pan-scans have become increasingly commonplace as part of the initial diagnostic workup for patients sustaining traumatic injuries. They proven effective in improving accuracy those with high-energy mechanisms injury. However, utility geriatric population low-energy injuries remains unproven.A retrospective review was conducted who sustained a fragility fracture at level-1 trauma center over 15-month period. Radiologist interpretations any CT were reviewed acute...
