Restrictive transfusion practices have decreased transfusions in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). A hemoglobin threshold of <8 g/dL is commonly used. Predictors this degree postoperative anemia TJA and its association with outcomes, independent transfusions, remain unclear. We identified predictors outcomes without TJA.Primary elective cases performed a multimodal blood management protocol from 2017 to 2018 were reviewed, identifying 1,583 cases. Preoperative variables compared between...
A multi-site, masked, randomised parallel group study employing a double dummy treatment design was performed in canine veterinary patients to determine the comparative efficacy and safety of mavacoxib carprofen pain inflammation associated with osteoarthritis for period 134 days. Treatments were administered according their respective summaries product characteristics. Of 139 dogs screened, 124 suitable participation: 62 which dosed carprofen. Both treatments resulted very similar pattern...
Background: Sideline diagnostic tests for concussion are vulnerable to volitional poor performance (“sandbagging”) on baseline assessments, motivated by desire subvert detection and potential removal from play. We investigated eye movements during sandbagging versus best effort the King-Devick (KD) test, a rapid automatized naming (RAN) task.Methods: Participants performed KD testing oculography following instructions sandbag or give effort.Results: Twenty healthy participants without...
Malalignment of distal tibia fractures can lead to malunion/nonunion or alter the limb mechanical axis which may cause arthritis. Proposed methods decrease malalignment include fibular fixation multiplanar interlocking screws, however these remain controversial. This study aimed identify factors associated with in tibial shaft fractures.
BackgroundAs the world struggles with COVID-19 pandemic, health care providers are on front lines. We highlight value of engaging in humanitarian medical work, contributions hip and knee arthroplasty community to date, future needs after resolution pandemic. sought understand how can contribute, based historical lessons from prior pandemics recessions, current needs, projections impact.MethodsWe polled members mission groups led by surgeons their efforts work. also orthopedic colleagues role...
Paradoxically, overweight and obesity are associated with lower odds of complications death after hip fracture surgery. Our objective was to determine whether this "obesity paradox" extends patients "superobesity." In study, we compared rates among superobese those in other body mass index (BMI) categories.Using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, identified >100,000 surgeries performed from 2012 2018. Patients were categorized as underweight (BMI <18.5), normal...
Community Detection is starting to become an inevitable task for data science community and like-minded analysts understand the hidden insights trends in large complex networks. Through this paper we would like comparatively analyze prevalent recent detection techniques Minimum Cut Method, Hierarchical Clustering, Girvan Newman Algorithm, Modularity Maximization, Statistical Inference, Clique Percolation & Maximum Permanence Method based on their network relevance, adaptability robustness...
Introduction: Approximately 37% of patients undergoing lower extremity revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA) receive allogeneic blood transfusions (ABTs), which are associated with increased risk morbidity and death. It is important to identify patient factors needing ABT because the health higher-risk can be optimized preoperatively their need for minimized. Our goal was surgical independently perioperative in TJA. Methods: We included all 251 TJA cases performed at our academic tertiary...
Distal radius fractures are often treated conservatively with immobilization. Immobilizing above the elbow limits forearm rotation, though recent literature has suggested effects on radiographic or functional outcomes may be negligible. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze outcome scores of distal managed short-arm (SA) immobilization long-arm (LA) An electronic search was performed PubMed EMBASE databases from inception October 5, 2022. All randomized controlled trials...
Introduction: Humeral shaft and distal humerus fractures have several different treatment options, including plate fixation intramedullary nailing. Each has its own benefits, but typically, they are not used in conjunction. While nail-plate combinations (NPCs) become more common the lower extremity, literature on their use upper extremity remains scarce. Case Report: A 74-year-old right-hand dominant male presented after a fall with closed left transverse midshaft fracture an associated...
