A retrospective cohort study.To determine whether the 11-item modified frailty index (mFI) is associated with readmission rates, complication revision or differences in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients undergoing posterior cervical decompression and fusion (PCDF).mFI incorporates preexisting medical comorbidities dependency status to physiological reserve. Based on previous literature, it may be used as a predictive tool identifying postoperative clinical surgical...
Retrospective cohort.To compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes between approach techniques for the treatment multilevel degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).Both anterior and posterior approaches surgical are successful in myelopathy. However, optimal has yet to be determined, especially disease, as different have separate complication profiles potentially impacts on HRQoL metrics.Retrospective review a prospectively managed single institution database patient-reported...
Retrospective cohort.The aim was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) when categorizing patients based on socioeconomic status. Secondarily, we sought PROMs race.Social determinants of health are believed affect outcomes spine surgery, but there is limited literature how combined status metrics ACDF.The authors identified who underwent primary elective one-level four-level ACDF from 2014 2020. Patients were grouped...
Study Design: Retrospective Cohort. Objective: To determine if outcomes varied between patients based on physical therapy (PT) attendance after lumbar fusion surgery. Summary of Background Data: The literature has been mixed regarding the efficacy postoperative PT to improve disability and back pain, as measured by patient-reported outcome measures. Given prevalence referrals lack high-quality evidence, there is a need for additional studies investigating surgery aid in developing robust...
Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Objectives Our study aims to analyze the effect of preoperative marijuana use on outcomes and postoperative opioid in patients who have undergone lumbar decompression without fusion. Methods All >18 years age underwent from 2017-2022 with documented at our academic institution were retrospectively identified. A 3:1 propensity match incorporating demographics, procedure type, levels decompressed was performed compare users non-users. 1-year...
Meta-analyses represent the best available medical evidence. Although a powerful tool, they are not without criticisms since any bias in original studies then compounded when pooled together for meta-analysis. Funnel plots provide useful graphical representation of presence bias, and forest heterogeneity findings within included The purpose this review is to help readers interpret these statistical tools better understand
Demographic factors contribute markedly to orthopaedic surgery outcomes. However, women and minorities have been historically excluded from clinical trials. The United States passed the Safety Innovation Act (Food Drug Administration [FDA-SIA]) in 2012 increase study diversity mandate reporting of certain demographics. purpose this was investigate demographic analysis among high-risk medical device trials evaluate effectiveness FDA-SIA increasing enrollment.The premarket approval database...
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...
Study Design: Retrospective Cohort. Objective: To compare patient-reported outcomes and surgical after anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) versus laminoplasty for multilevel spondylotic myelopathy. Background: Treatment options myelopathy include ACDF laminoplasty. Given that the literature has been mixed regarding optimal approach, especially in patients without kyphosis, there is a need additional studies investigating between Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of adult...
Four-corner arthrodesis is commonly performed for advanced collapse patterns of wrist arthritis. Reduction the capitolunate (CL) angle during four-corner fusion crucial to allow greatest radiocarpal joint arc motion. Previous studies demonstrate variable inter- and intraobserver reliability measuring CL angle. However, in a fusion, hardware implementation scaphoid excision can complicate carpal alignment measurements. The purpose this study investigate parameters following arthrodesis.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort. Objective: To analyze the annual trends in most prevalent topics, journals, and geographic regions of top 100 spine surgery articles, as determined by altmetric attention scores (AASs). We also describe relationship between AAS traditional article metrics. Background: The rapid growth social media has transformed how medical literature is disseminated perceived, including within field surgery. a metric that characterizes an article’s reach impact various...
To compare patient-reported and surgical outcome measures in patients with without secondary shoulder stiffness (SSS) undergoing rotator cuff repair (RCR).Patients from 2014 to 2020 complete (PROMs) by the short-form 12 survey (SF-12) were retrospectively reviewed identify if operative intervention for SSS was performed alongside RCR. Those propensity matched a group prior age, sex, laterality, body mass index, diabetes mellitus status, presence of thyroid disorder. The groups compared tear...
Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the impact diet liberalization on short-term outcomes in patients undergoing anterior interbody lumbar fusion (ALIF). Methods A retrospective review performed for ALIF at our tertiary care center institution from 2010 2022. Electronic medical records were reviewed demographics, surgical characteristics, and 90-day postoperative outcomes. Results We included 515 with 102 receiving a full same day as...
