Background: American medical schools have gradually achieved balance in the sex of graduates over past 4 decades. However, orthopaedic surgery has remained disproportionately male-dominated. Our aim was to quantify this discrepancy across surgical specialties at residency training and academic faculty levels. We additionally sought evaluate prevalence women subspecialty research societies. Methods: Publicly available data from Association Medical Colleges (AAMC) Accreditation Council for...
Background: Periprosthetic joint infection following hip and knee arthroplasty leads to poor outcomes exorbitant costs. Topical vancomycin powder has been shown decrease in many procedures such as spine surgery. The role of the setting total remains undefined. Our aim was evaluate efficacy intra-articular preventing a rat model contaminated implant. Methods: Thirty-two female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent arthrotomy implantation femoral intramedullary wire with 1 mm communication. also...
Background: Attritional bone loss in patients with recurrent anterior instability has successfully been treated a block procedure such as the Latarjet. It not previously demonstrated whether cortical or cancellous screws are superior when used for this procedure. Purpose: To assess strength of stainless steel versus cannulated Latarjet Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Ten fresh-frozen matched-pair shoulder specimens were randomized into 2 separate fixation groups: (1)...
Background: With a steadily increasing rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction in the pediatric population, disagreement remains regarding optimal technique for patients with ACL ≥2 years growth remaining. Purpose: This study aims to quantify incidence linear angular disturbance adolescents undergoing partial transphyseal (ACLR) while assessing graft failure rates, reoperation functional outcomes population. Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods:...
Ultrasonic surgical devices have been demonstrated to provide excellent hemostasis, efficient transection, minimal lateral thermal damage, low smoke generation, and no risk of electrical current passage the patient. These benefits originate from inherent characteristics ultrasonic mechanism, but further improvements were thought possible through optimization energy delivery during application. The study reported here compared a new device, Harmonic ACE®+ Shears with Adaptive Tissue...
Youth participation in competitive athletics has significantly increased the past two decades. There also been a recent rise number of sports injuries that physicians are seeing young athletes. The objective this study was to assess likelihood based on several risk factors general sample athletes at suburban-area high school.This cross-sectional study. An online survey distributed 2,200 student-athletes local school with mean age 15.9 years. Four hundred eighty four (22%) complete responses...
Rotator cuff fatty infiltration has been correlated with poorer radiographic and clinical outcomes in supraspinatus infraspinatus tendon repairs, but this not well-studied subscapularis repairs.To evaluate the influence of preoperative rotator on postoperative for patients undergoing arthroscopic repair.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.Patients who underwent repair between 2010 2016 were retrospectively identified, demographic data surgical findings recorded. The extent was determined...
Tears of the subscapularis tendon can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Because plays an important role in shoulder function, careful arthroscopic evaluation treatment are necessary restore function. Previous surgical techniques have ranged from full open repairs complex procedures needing suture passer and/or retriever devices. We describe technique repair through a single anterior portal using only penetrating graspers. This approach used for partial upper-border tears, as well...
To determine if scores of the International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT12) and Score (HOS) correlate with one another in hip pain patients. Patients reporting to an orthopedic clinic for their scheduled appointment were given a paper survey consisting iHOT12 HOS. Demographic information [age, weight, height body mass index (BMI)] was obtained by chart review. Overall, 114 patients invited voluntarily complete surveys which 23 declined. Our sample consisted 91 (57 female 34 male) (80% response...
BACKGROUND Partial transphyseal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a technique utilized in the skeletally immature population. The femoral tunnel placed distal epiphysis whereas tibial fashion medial to tubercle. This was introduced an effort lessen insult physis of adolescents while also avoiding technical difficulty placing intra-epiphyseal proximal tibia which at times can be non-anatomic. There limited literature examining this technique. In study we analyzed concurrent...
