In 2006, a survey regarding anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction was mailed to physician members of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine. A total 993 responses were received from 1747 possible respondents (57%). The number ACL reconstructions per year ranged 1 275 (mean = 55). most important factors in timing surgery knee range motion and effusion. Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft commonly preferred (46%), followed by hamstring tendon (32%) allografts...
Orthopedic surgeons at our institution have noticed an increase in the number of infections due to Propionibacterium acnes, especially following operations on shoulder. We collected P. acnes isolates from hospital microbiology laboratory for 1 year and performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing 28 strains Antibiotics with lowest MIC values against (MIC50 MIC90) included penicillin G (0.006, 0.125), cephalothin (0.047 0.094), ceftriaxone (0.016, 0.045), while others also showed activity....
Background: Stemless humeral components for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) have several reported potential benefits compared with stemmed implants. However, we are aware of no Level-I, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that stemless implants in patients managed aTSA. We sought to directly compare the short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes determine if implant is noninferior implant. Methods: performed a prospective, multicenter, single-blinded RCT comparing...
Background: Orthopedic fellowship directors play a crucial role in shaping patient care approaches of trainees under their guidance. Given the influence have over surgeons-in-training practices, financial conflicts interest are notable significance. Methods: A list 566 orthopedic program United States was compiled. Program from following subspecialties were included: adult hip and knee, sports medicine, hand, spine, trauma, foot ankle, pediatric orthopedics, shoulder elbow, musculoskeletal...
Background: Unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty is one of several methods for treatment proximal humeral fracture nonunions. The goal this study was to define the results and complications procedure. Methods: From 1976 2007, sixty-seven patients underwent unconstrained nonunion were followed more than two years. There forty-nine women eighteen men with a mean age sixty-four years duration follow-up nine (range, thirty years). type according Neer classification two-part in thirty-six...
Background Propionibacterium acnes ( P. acnes) has become increasingly recognized as a cause of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Questions/Purposes It is not currently known if the clinical presentation varies depending on being infected. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients infected with after total hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty from two institutions. Patients were classified having PJI based Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria excluded they had polymicrobial...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) is traditionally performed with cemented humeral fixation. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes cementless RSA PHF. Between 2010 2014, 38 acute PHFs were treated followed a minimum 2 years (mean, 37 months; range, 24-66 months). mean time from fracture 7 days (range, 1-30 days). Humeral stems in 19 shoulders uncemented shoulders. Outcome measures included visual analog scale...
Background Prolonged opioid use is associated with higher complications and worse patient-reported outcomes following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Identified risk factors for prolonged postoperative are related to several medical comorbidities, gender, diagnoses of anxiety or depressive disorders, preoperative use. In this study, we hypothesized that mental health characteristics can help identify patients at pain control, sleep, utilization TSA. Methods Ninety-three consecutive were...
Treatment of an infected total elbow replacement (TER) is often successful in eradicating or suppressing the infection. However, extensor mechanism may be compromised by both infection and surgery. The goal this study was to assess triceps function patients treated for deep complicating a TER. Between 1976 2007 217 TERs 207 were TER at our institution. Superficial infections those that underwent resection arthroplasty excluded, leaving 93 TERs. Triceps assessed examination questionnaire....
Many studies have noted an increase in the number of recognized cases invasive infections due to Propionibacterium acnes, especially after shoulder replacement surgery. The P. a nonspore-forming, anaerobic, Gram-positive organism, appears both operations being performed and more specimens sent for anaerobic cultures. Nevertheless, optimal surgical antibiotic management acnes remains controversial.We tested susceptibility 106 strains from sterile body sites collected at Erie County Medical...
