To analyze recent demographic and medical billing trends in treatment of femoral neck fracture American elderly patients.The College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was analyzed from 2006 to 2015, for patients aged 65 years older, using the Current Procedural Terminology codes 27130, 27125, 27235, 27236. Patient demographics, postoperative complications, frequency were compared over time. Our sample had 17,122 patients, that, 70% female, mean age 80.1...
Summary Uncertainty about the outcomes of individual wells is a complicating factor in development performance measures for an exploration program. Using some basic concepts probability and statistics to deal with this uncertainty, we have developed tools help management compare results program expectations meaningful way. Introduction The collapse oil gas prices mid-1980's brought radically different investment climate exploration. industry had enjoyed period when price scenarios that most...
Talonavicular (TN) fusion using screws dorsomedially and dorsolaterally can cause neurovascular injury. The purpose of our cadaveric study was to evaluate the safety percutaneous screw insertion in relation dorsal structures.Ten fresh-frozen cadaver legs were used for this study. Percutaneous cannulated inserted perform isolated TN arthrodesis. at 3 consistent sites: a "medial screw" dorsomedial navicular where it intersected medial plane first cuneiform, "central edge between intermediate...
Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Damage to distal tibiofibular syndesmosis occurs in 25% of operative ankle fractures. Syndesmotic stabilization is crucial prevent significant pain, instability and degeneration the joint. One method insertion suture buttons. Though effective, this can result entrapment damage saphenous neurovasculature medial tibia. The purpose study was describe anatomic risk direct injury nerve greater vein during syndesmotic button fixation. Methods: This performed...
Abstract As markets for futures, swaps, and options have grown matured in the oil gas industry, question of how companies should make use such financial derivatives naturally arises. The simplest models risk versus return modern finance theory are based on a world which costs external internal financing same all is either systematic or can be diversified by shareholders. In this simplified world, must viewed as purely speculative instruments that add nothing to shareholder value. However,...
This paper advances some principles for practical application of natural gas models that were used during the EMF 23 study. These emphasize a decision-focused perspective, embrace uncertainty, demand consistency model results with observable facts, are capable navigating complexity systems, and distinguish insight from unattainable precision. The designed to foster assistance better decision making by modelers.
Category: Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Talonavicular fusion has been established as a reliable intervention for degenerative, inflammatory, and traumatic joint lesions well hindfoot deformities. In order to achieve optimal fusion, various versions of the procedure have introduced in literature remained topic contention, with most common variation involving insertion 1 3 screws dorsomedially dorsolaterally. Dorsolateral screw placements commonly cause neurovasculature injury. The purpose...
Category: Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: fusion procedures are increasingly being performed in the outpatient setting. However, cost-effectiveness of hindfoot compared with risk and benefit have not been clearly investigated. The primary objective this study was to investigate versus inpatient arthrodesis. Secondary objectives were compare patient characteristics short-term complications patients each cohort. Methods: This a retrospective review all who underwent at single institution from...
Category: Other Introduction/Purpose: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a rare but potentially lethal complication following orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery. Surgeons continue to debate the types of patients procedures in which it appropriate use chemical thromboprophylaxis. A recent meta-analysis concluded that at high risk for VTE after surgery should receive prophylaxis, there remains paucity data elucidate demographic or comorbidity variables are most strongly associated with...
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Advanced-stage arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ), or “Hallux Rigidus” (HR) is a common forefoot pathology. When surgery indicated, arthroplasty an alternative to arthrodesis, which aims preserve MTPJ dorsiflexion. Since it unclear whether total-toe hemi-toe devices are preferred implants in arthroplasty, we completed systematic review literature and did meta analysis test type clinically outperform hallux rigidus....
Category: Foot & Ankle Surgery Introduction/Purpose: Prescription opioids are commonly used to control postoperative pain in foot and ankle surgery, but present potentially detrimental side effects including sedation, respiratory depression, addiction. In is a common cause of delayed hospital discharge decreased willingness move, thereby slowing recovery. Gabapentin acts by decreasing lesion-induced hyperexcitability posterior horn neurons central sensitization, has been explored as...
