Study Design. Retrospective cohort. Objective. To assess the relationship between long-term gabapentinoid use and outcomes after lumbar fusion. Summary of Background Data. Gabapentinoids, which include gabapentin pregabalin, are commonly prescribed for radiculopathic pain. Basic science research has indicated that gabapentinoids may be detrimental to bone health/healing clinical works shown initiating at time spine surgery decrease postoperative opioid requirements increase risks adverse...
Robotic systems are revolutionizing the field of orthopaedic surgery by enabling new approaches to joint reconstruction and spine procedures, with latest technologies in other sub-specialties continuing emerge. Improvements system capabilities have enhanced preoperative planning intraoperative precision, contributing growing adoption robotic technology. With global surgical robotics market projected reach $7.42 billion 2030, integration these practice has expanded significantly. platforms...
Study Design: Retrospective analysis. Objective: The purpose of this study is to quantify the rate at which atlantoaxial level omitted from official cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiologic reports and identify potential missed pathology, emphasizing need for improved standardization evaluation. Summary Background Data: MRI a readily utilized modality evaluating axial skeleton. In our experience, spine often overlooked on in absence trauma or obvious pathology. Methods:...
Study Design. Retrospective controlled cohort. Objective. To evaluate the effect of intraoperative liposomal bupivacaine (LB) infiltration on postsurgical pain management in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients by analyzing postoperative opioid consumption, ambulation, and length stay (LOS). Summary Background Data. Optimal control for AIS undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) is challenging. Multimodal protocols provide adequate analgesia while decreasing consumption. LB was...
A large-scale retrospective analysis of veterans with chronic pain was conducted to examine (1) the annual incidence suicide attempts (SA) in headache and other conditions, (2) risk SA men women concurrent traumatic brain injury (TBI) as compared non-headache pain.This study (N=3,247,621) analyzed National Veterans Affair Health Administrative data patients diagnosed head, neck, back from 2000 2010. Multivariable Poisson regression used explore relative risks TBI stratified by sex.Veterans...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> The objective of this work was to examine the association between deployment-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity, frequency, other characteristics with headache outcomes in veterans evaluated at a Veterans Administration (VA) polytrauma support clinic. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted retrospective chart review 594 comprehensive TBI evaluations 2011 2021. Diagnostic criteria were based on Department Defense/VA Consensus-Based Classification Closed...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Objective. The objective of this study was to investigate associations between spine surgeon characteristics and different types industry payments. Summary Background Data. Industry funding has played an important role in research technological innovation within surgery, payments supporting have risen significantly comparison from other sources. To our knowledge, no studies investigated academic associated with categories Materials Methods. A query...
Background: Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and matrix-induced autologous (MACI) are 2-stage procedures requiring an index full-thickness cartilage biopsy. Only a portion of patients ultimately undergo second-stage ACI/MACI. Purpose: To identify with articular defects who underwent arthroscopic debridement biopsy for ACI/MACI compare those did not proceed within 2 years after Additionally, the authors sought to why implantation. Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3....
Retrospective chart review.
This case report presents findings from a unique culture-negative but biopsy-proven necrotizing fasciitis affecting the upper extremity that was successfully treated with early operative debridement. The abrupt onset of an often heterogeneous presentation physical exam and laboratory makes diagnosing this entity challenging. strengths include (1) demonstrating how microorganism gram stain culture can be negative despite suggestive in operating room (2) identifying role lymphedema as...
Aim: To examine the clinical accuracy and applicability of ChatGPT answers to commonly asked questions from patients considering posterior lumbar decompression (PLD). Methods: A literature review was conducted identify 10 that encompass some most common concerns may have regarding surgery. The selected were then posed ChatGPT. Initial responses recorded, no follow-up or clarifying permitted. Two attending fellowship-trained spine surgeons graded each response chatbot using a modified Global...
Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a severe, rapidly progressing infection of the muscular fascia and subcutaneous tissue. Monomicrobial NF from hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP-NF) rare but highly virulent, most common in East Asia. This report reviews unique case hvKP-NF US male his 40s with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus, presenting severe sepsis, neck swelling calf pain. Imaging revealed pyomyositis sternocleidomastoid, debridement cultures confirmed hvKP. Despite unremarkable...
Foot drop is relatively common and can be a notable source of patient dissatisfaction even potential litigation. For the spine surgeon evaluating such patient, natural inclination to investigate spinal etiology; however, foot develop from multitude distinct insults along several locations, extending cerebral cortex leg musculature itself. In-depth understanding relevant anatomy implicated in drop, as well pathologies that may impede those structures, paramount expanding surgeon's...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with varying dermatological findings. We review a unique presentation of SLE literature review. A previously healthy early adolescent female presented painful, oral mucosal bullae filled sanguineous fluid. She endorsed tender right knee, but examination revealed no additional abnormalities. CBC demonstrated severe pancytopaenia. Further workup, including Coombs positive RBCs and ANA, anti-Smith, anti-dsDNA antibodies, confirmed...
The peroneus longus (PL) and brevis (PB) tendons comprise the lateral compartment of leg stabilize foot during weightbearing. Peroneal tendinopathy can precipitate ankle pain induce functional disability. progression peroneal pathology to dysfunction is thought stem from asymptomatic, subclinical tendinopathy. There may be clinical benefit identifying asymptomatic patients with this condition before Various ultrasonographic characteristics have been observed in purpose study identify...
