The obese population is more likely to develop degenerative joint disease requiring total arthroplasty (TJA) and also experience increased rates of adverse post-surgical outcomes. This study assessed whether a quantifiable weight loss prior TJA had any impact on perioperative 30-day outcomes in patients.Using the American College Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, patients who underwent hip or knee lost at least 10% their body surgery were identified matched...
While the role of chronic preoperative steroid use in orthopedic outcomes has been studied, particularly hip, knee, and lumbar surgeries, its impact on total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate early-onset postoperative infectious readmission within 30 days following TSA compared patients without use. A retrospective analysis was performed using data from American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) spanning...
A workgroup of clinical experts has developed an Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for the use hyaluronic acid (HA) in treatment osteoarthritis (OA) knee. The increasingly broad and varied HA injections, lack published guidance, limited coverage their created imperative to establish appropriateness criteria.The this represent rheumatology, orthopedic surgery, physiatry, sports medicine, nursing clinicians with substantive knowledge intra-articular therapy. This utilized results a systematic...
Marathon runners develop transient AKI with urine sediments and injury biomarkers suggesting nephron damage.To investigate the etiology, we examined volume thermoregulatory responses as possible mechanisms in runners' using a prospective cohort of 2017 Hartford Marathon. Vitals, blood, samples were collected 23 1 day premarathon immediately postmarathon. We measured copeptin at each time point. Continuous core body temperature, sweat sodium, assessed during race. The primary outcome interest...

Key Clinical Message Morel‐Lavallee lesions are post‐traumatic, soft‐tissue degloving injuries commonly misdiagnosed as hematomas or ruptured bursa. The clinician needs to be aware of this injury, in order provide appropriate patient care and treatment. If not treated early, risks include superinfection, continued expansion, overlying tissue necrosis, suboptimal outcomes.
The aim of this study was to characterize the volumetric changes anterior cruciate ligament over course a competitive soccer season in female athletes. Seventeen Division-I collegiate players were recruited. Two data collection sessions conducted. first occurred prior start season. Each subject completed brief questionnaire, had height and weight measured, underwent clinical assessment their ligaments an eight sequence magnetic resonance imagery knees. Contours outlined sagittal T-2 weighted...
Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) is a group of diverse health care therapies that often serve as adjuncts to conventional medical treatments. Our aim for this study was evaluate the current knowledge, beliefs practices pediatric clinicians regarding CIM.Clinicians from unit large US based teaching hospital in Connecticut were surveyed, through self-administered questionnaires.We sampled 70 participants with response rate 99 %. Of 70, 32 Registered Nurses, 9 Attendings, 7 Fellows,...
Ankle sprains are a common occurrence and frequently either undertreated or overtreated. With the incidence estimated at more than 3 million year rate of 2.15/1,000 in United States alone, this is an orthopaedic injury that providers should be acutely aware successfully able to evaluate treat. This clinical feature will provide thorough review mechanism injury, history physical examination, classification management these injuries. Clinical red flags discussed.
The purpose of the study is to examine whether physical examination technique, Myrick Hip Internal Rotation with Distraction (THIRD), reliable and valid. THIRD test has previously established documented sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, internal external validity. goal this original research was demonstrate stability reliability when conducted in a clinical setting where not been performed, as well that validity across multiple examiners new setting. importance reflects...
Electrocardiographic changes can be present in marathon runners. These findings may misinterpreted as malignant by healthcare providers. For example, incomplete right bundle branch block, early ventricular repolarization, and left hypertrophy voltage criteria alone are quite common athletes, yet considered benign.
The literature concerning resident involvement in shoulder surgery is limited. purpose of this study was to examine whether across all orthopedic surgeries associated with adverse 30-day outcomes. Utilizing the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, patients who underwent or without a present were analyzed. Independent t-test and chi-square Fischer’s exact test used appropriately. A logistic regression model calculate adjusted odds ratios. This...
