Background: Social media has the potential to play a substantial role in decision-making of patients when choosing physician for care. Purpose: The purpose this study was determine whether an association exists between social activity and patient satisfaction ratings on review websites (PRWs) as well number reviews. It hypothesized that there would be significant utilization ratings. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: American Orthopaedic Society Sports Medicine database queried...
Purpose To perform a multi-national survey and identify patterns in capsular management at the time of hip arthroscopy. Methods An anonymous, non-validated was distributed by American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy Association North America, European Traumatology, Knee Surgery, Arthroscopy, International Hip Turkish Surgery. Questions were broken down into 6 categories: demographics, capsulotomy preference, traction stitches, closure, postoperative rehabilitation,...
Although historically overlooked, medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) tears are now increasingly recognized as a substantial cause of biomechanical impairment and morbidity. MMPR tears, when left untreated, strongly correlated to meniscal extrusion ultimately lead altered kinematics loading functionally equivalent total meniscectomy. To prevent progressive joint degeneration alleviate pain while re-establishing native kinematics, repair is generally recommended in appropriately selected...
Suprascapular nerve (SSN) entrapment is a rare but significant cause of posterior shoulder pain and weakness. Compression the at level spinoglenoid notch leads to weakness atrophy infraspinatus. A detailed history physical examination along with appropriate workup are paramount arrive this diagnosis. Surgical decompression indicated in cases refractory conservative management. In Technical Note, we describe our technique for open SSN notch. This approach permits direct visualization allows...
Shoulder and elbow injuries during athletic participation are very common may require operative intervention if refractory to conservative care. In recovering from these upper extremity injuries, proper postoperative rehabilitation setting reasonable expectations regarding return play important. This review article focuses on the most surgically treated shoulder including rotator cuff tears, SLAP anterior posterior instability, ulnar collateral ligament tears. Rates of after surgical...
To investigate the type of questions patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are searching online and determine quality sources from top results to each query by "people also ask" Google algorithm.Three search strings pertaining FAI were carried out through Google. The webpage information was manually collected "People algorithm. Questions categorized using Rothwell's classification method. Each website assessed Journal American Medical Association...
Advances in surgical technique and implant design may influence the incidence mechanism of failure resulting revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). The purpose current study was to characterize aetiologies requiring rTHA, determine whether temporal changes existed these over a ten-year period.All rTHAs performed at single institution from 2009 2019 were identified. Demographic information mode obtained for all patients. Data rTHA stratified into two time periods assess changes: 2013, 2014...
Social media has the potential to act as an avenue for patient recruitment, and surgeon education, expansion of physician-patient relationship.
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a pathologic condition, most commonly affecting the knee joint in adolescents and young adults, although pathology can also be found at elbow ankle. Lesions to medial femoral condyle are classically associated with varus alignment, while lesions lateral seen patients valgus malalignment. Common risk factors for failed fixation of OCD include unstable condyle, screw breakage, older age, closed physes. The purpose this technical note describe preoperative...
Irreparable rotator cuff tears are those that cannot be restored back to their native footprint or in which any repair will "almost certainly" lead a structural failure as result of poor tissue quality, degeneration, retraction1-3. The InSpace subacromial balloon spacer (Stryker) was developed temporary restore anatomic relationships between the glenoid, humerus, and acromion improve function reduce pain associated with this challenging pathology.First, diagnostic arthroscopy is performed....
Long-term follow-up for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is limited due to heterogeneity in the number of techniques utilized, surgeons included, and attrition bias.
Patients with pathologic genu recurvatum may present complaints regarding anterior knee pain, instability, loss of range motion, or locking episodes the knee. Symptomatic refractory to conservative measures require surgical treatment. In this Technical Note, authors describe a technique involving an opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy for patient symptomatic from hyperextension injury resulting in posterior soft-tissue laxity. The aims correct limb sagittal alignment and provide stability...
Patients with a history of degenerative joint disease secondary to an acute or remote episode septic arthritis the native knee hip present unique challenge for orthopaedic surgeon. This study describes our experience two-stage primary arthroplasty such patients.We reviewed 42 patients treated between 2008 and 2018. were evaluated using modified Harris Hip Score, Knee Society Score (KSS), KSS functional component (KSSF). Paired t-tests used compare changes continuous variables within cohorts....
To determine whether patients insured through Medicaid exhibit differences in patient-reported outcomes, return to sport rates, and reinjury reoperation metrics after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction compared with private insurance.Patients who had undergone a primary ACL were identified matched cohort of insurance the same age sex. Patients contacted via telephone emailed questionnaire containing International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, questions, metrics....
The use of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair with concomitant internal bracing for throwing athletes is a viable treatment option, but must take into account tear location, quality, the expected length athlete's career, desire to advance next level competition, and age. There has been increased interest in UCL injuries overhead due advancements surgical technique, as well improved technologies anchor suture material. In addition, return sport can be accelerated compared reconstruction....
