Background: Surgical site infection in the spine is a serious postoperative complication. Factors such as posterior surgical approach, arthrodesis, use of spinal instrumentation, age, obesity, diabetes, tobacco use, operating-room environment, and estimated blood loss are well established literature to affect risk infection. The goal this study was analyze identify independent factors for among patients undergoing lumbar instrumented arthrodesis. Methods: medical records 3218 who underwent...
We aimed to characterise the effect of expeditious hip fracture surgery in elderly patients within 24 hours admission on short-term post-operative outcomes.Patients age 65 or older that underwent for closed femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures were identified from American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program between 2011 2014. Multivariable propensity-adjusted logistic regressions performed determine associations early complications, controlling selection...
The purpose of our study was to describe and compare extensor mechanism injuries with regard age, sex, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities.We identified patients who had undergone surgical management an injury at two institutions between 1986 2012. Data analyzed included age the time surgery, height, weight, presence medical comorbidities. Patients chronic disruption quadriceps or patellar tendon, those undergoing revision in setting total knee arthroplasty were excluded.Seven hundred...
As the popularity of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) increases and indications expand, surgeons require a better understanding which patient factors are associated with implant failure. In this study, we aimed to use large database identify independent risk for failure at mid- long-term follow-up.A prospectively collected was used all patients who underwent primary TAA minimum 5 years' follow-up. The outcome revision, defined as removal one or both metal components; failures due infection...
Background: Advantages of using computerized adaptive testing (CAT) include decreased survey-burden, diminished floor and ceiling effect, improved ability to detect the minimal clinical significant difference (MCID) among patients. The goal this study was compare legacy patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores in terms clinically changes patients who have undergone surgery for ankle fractures. Methods: Patients...
Objective To develop evidence‐based consensus recommendations for the optimal timing of hip and knee arthroplasty to improve patient‐important outcomes including, but not limited to, pain, function, infection, hospitalization, death at 1 year patients with symptomatic radiographic moderate‐to‐severe osteoarthritis or advanced osteonecrosis secondary arthritis who have previously attempted nonoperative therapy, whom therapy was ineffective, chosen undergo elective (collectively referred as...
The purpose of this study was to determine the amount cumulative radiation exposure received by orthopaedic surgeons and residents in various subspecialties. We obtained dosimeter measures over 12 months on 24 16 attending surgeons.Monthly measured a 12-month period for surgeons. participants wore Landauer Luxel breast pocket their lead apron. dosimeters were exchanged every rotation (5 7 weeks) resident month surgeon participants. Radiation compared subspecialty, level training, type...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> A feared complication of spinal or epidural anesthesia is the development hematoma with subsequent neural element compression. Most available data are derived from obstetric literature. Little known about frequency occurrence among patients undergoing orthopedic joint arthroplasty, who usually elderly experience significant comorbidities. We sought to study incidence clinically lesions after further describe their nature. <h3>Methods</h3> retrospectively...
Background: Although screening for and treating osteoporosis can prevent subsequent fractures, the rates of such interventions are low following a distal radial fracture. One potential method identifying metabolic bone disease is via Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements from diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans. We hypothesized that HU values aspect radius could be used to assess local quality would predictive fracture risk, thereby allowing identification patients in need further...
Background: The effect of bone mineral density (BMD) on outcomes from total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has not been studied. BMD can be estimated by measuring Hounsfield units (HU) standard computed tomography (CT), which is frequently performed prior to TAA. We aimed identify whether tibial and talar HU measured preoperative CT scans were associated with periprosthetic fracture or revision risk in patients undergoing Methods: A prospectively collected database was used retrospectively screen...
