Background Pickleball and paddleball are the fastest-growing sports in United States. However, there limited studies on types of lower extremity injuries treatment options an outpatient clinic setting. Hypothesis/purpose This study reports incidence rate, treatments, return-to-play (RTP) outcomes for patients presenting to a single orthopedic center with pickleball- paddleball-related injuries. Study design is retrospective case series, level IV evidence. Methods A database search our...
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To determine hospital length of stay (LOS) and long-term opioid consumption among patients who received inpatient multimodal analgesia following lumbar spine surgery, as opposed to those opioids alone. Summary Background Data: Opioids have long been the historical choice for managing postoperative pain. The use has become more commonplace in recent years it is thought achieve similar levels pain control while simultaneously diminishing...
The objective of this study was to evaluate patient and surgical factors that predict increased overall lumbar lordosis (LL) segmental correction following a minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion (LLIF) procedure.A retrospective review conducted all patients who underwent one- or two-level LLIF. Preoperative, initial postoperative, 6-month postoperative measurements LL, lordosis, anterior disc height, posterior height were collected from standing radiographs for each patient. Cage...

This is a case report of an 85-year-old woman with osteopenia who underwent olecranon avulsion fracture repair supplemental triceps tendon following fall on outstretched arm. The initial procedure failed due to osteoporotic bone quality and atraumatic disruption the fixation. patient subsequently further surgical intervention excision novel technique using plate augmentation fiber tape. Surgeons may consider this approach as treatment for elderly patients or osteoporosis undergoing fixation,...
Introduction: Double-crush syndrome (DCS) represents a condition that involves peripheral nerve compression in combination with spinal root impingement. The purpose of this study was to compare electrodiagnostic (EDS) results patients undergoing carpal tunnel release (CTR) for those both CTR and anterior cervical diskectomy fusion DCS. Methods: Patients receiving an isolated were compared within two years CTR. latter group defined as our DCS cohort. Electrodiagnostic collected which included...
Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To determine prescription trends across specialties in the perioperative care of patients undergoing spine surgery from 2018 to 2021. Summary background data: A range measures, including implementation state drug monitoring programs, have been instituted combat opioid epidemic. Considering continued presence opioids for spine-related pain management, a better understanding patterns practices may be important future intervention. Methods: All aged 18 years and older who underwent...
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common surgery for patients with degenerative disease current interbody spacers utilized vary based on material composition, structure, angle of lordosis. Currently, there lack literature comparing subsidence rates or long-term radiographic outcomes hyperlordotic standard lordotic spacers. This study compares outcomes, rate, rate in who underwent ACDF placement. Patients 1-3-level either lordosis were included. Standard radiographs...
