Abstract O‐sulfation is an important chemical code widely existing in bioactive molecules, but the scalable and facile synthesis of complex molecules carrying O‐sulfates remains challenging. Reported here a general approach to by sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reaction between aryl fluorosulfates silylated hydroxy groups. Efficient sulfate diester formation was achieved through systematic optimization electronic properties fluorosulfates. The versatility this strategy demonstrated...
The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is controversial as a treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in patients ≥40 years of age. We conducted retrospective study to evaluate the outcomes, measure survival rate, and identify factors associated with PAO failure age.We performed age undergoing PAO. Study eligibility criteria were met by 166 (149 women; mean age, 44 ± 3 years), 145 (87%) followed ≥4 after used Kaplan-Meier curve right-censoring calculate survivorship, "failure"...
OBJECTIVES: To identify the rate of fixation failure following femoral neck fracture (FNF) in young adults within a national database. METHODS: Design: Retrospective cohort study Setting: National all-payer claims database Patient Selection Criteria: Adults between 18 and 49 years age who underwent operative for FNF (AO/OTA 31-B) January 2010 April 2019 were identified. Outcome Measures Comparisons: The primary outcome measure was five-year risk revision surgery management FNF. Additional...
Apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis and hip are common injuries in adolescent athletes. However, high volume comparative studies elucidating spectrum largely absent from literature. The current study provides a comprehensive analysis demographic, anatomic, pathophysiological, clinical, athletic-related variables associated with such an extensive population affected adolescents.A retrospective review was performed records patients presenting to single tertiary care pediatric hospital...
The aim of this study was to understand the experience mature patients who undergo a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), major hip-preserving surgical procedure that treats symptomatic hip dysplasia by realigning acetabulum. Our improve our understanding how operation affected lives and their families, with long-term goal improving experience.We used phenomenological approach in-depth, semi-structured interviews investigate seven female patients, aged between 25 40 years, underwent PAO. A...
Background: Treating patients with symptomatic hips after healed Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is challenging, mainly because of the complexity deformity. We performed a retrospective study to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes, measure survival rate, identify predictors failure following surgical hip dislocation (SHD) femoral-head reshaping relative femoral-neck lengthening for treatment residual deformity LCPD. Methods: identified 60 undergoing SHD LCPD Fifty-one (85%) (mean...
Background Hip instability is a concern in pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) patients, with approximately one-third developing hip displacement. This may lead to pain, functional limitations, and decreased quality of life. Due the progressive nature displacement CP, earlier surgical interventions be beneficial. However, any shifts practice intervention, on national scale, not well described. The purpose this study was determine recent trends timing children CP. Methods A retrospective conducted...

Background Timely diagnosis of developmental dysplasia the hip (DDH) is crucial for implementing less invasive treatment. However, socioeconomic barriers may lead to late diagnoses. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) an indicator challenges experienced by patients and their families. primary objective investigate if age at which DDH diagnosed treatment protocol are influenced ADI or insurance type. Materials methods Using International Classification Diseases-Tenth Edition (ICD-10) codes,...
Background Cold weather in the first few months of life may increase risk a late diagnosis developmental dysplasia hip (DDH). Early detection DDH can often be treated non-surgically. The purpose this study is to observe whether rates surgical intervention for differ based on average outdoor temperatures winter months. Methods A retrospective observational patients diagnosed from 2010 2021 was conducted using national administrative database. Five geographic regions were defined coldest...
