Background: Readmissions following total hip arthroplasty are a focus given the forthcoming financial penalties that hospitals in United States may incur starting 2015. The purpose of this study was to identify both preoperative comorbidities and postoperative conditions increase risk readmission arthroplasty. Methods: Using American College Surgeons–National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data for 2011, population identified using Current Procedural Terminology code primary (27130)....
The current operative standard of care for disseminated malignant bone disease suggests stabilizing the entire to avoid need subsequent intervention but risks doing so include complications related embolic phenomena.We questioned whether progression and reoperation occur with enough frequency justify additional longer intramedullary devices.A retrospective chart review was done 96 patients metastases, myeloma, or lymphoma who had undergone stabilization arthroplasty impending actual femoral...
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. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common minor complication following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) with incidence as high 3.26%. Bladder catheterization is routinely used during TJA and Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS) has recently identified hospital-acquired catheter associated UTI a target quality improvement. This investigation seeks to identify specific risk factors in patients. Methods. We retrospectively studied patients undergoing osteoarthritis...
Retrospective cohort.Define incidence of anomalous carotid vasculature and associated risk factors as pertains to the anterior approach.The artery system, including common, internal, external branches, is lateral foramen transversarium. If unrecognized, aberrancies in vessel anatomy can lead devastating complications.A total 1000 cervical magnetic resonance imagings were screened localize respective medial/lateral location at each segment from C2-C3 C6-C7 bilaterally. Vessel was classified 3...
The morbidity and mortality after hip fracture in the elderly are influenced by non-modifiable comorbidities. Time-to-surgery is a modifiable factor that may play role postoperative morbidity. This study investigates outcomes complications surgery as function of time-to-surgery. Using American College Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data from 2011 to 2012, population was generated using Current Procedural Terminology codes for percutaneous or open treatment femoral...
There is a paucity of information pertaining to the pathoanatomy and treatment symptomatic olecranon traction spurs.To describe spur formation, technique for resection, series patients who failed conservative care underwent operative treatment.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Eleven (12 elbows) with mean age 42 years (range, 27-62 years) excision painful after failing care. Charts imaging studies were reviewed. All returned evaluation new elbow radiographs at an average 34 months 10-78...
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a reliable and effective means to treat degenerative conditions of the hip knee. It has been shown improve physical function, overall health quality life. The utilization total knee (TKA) (THA) predicted increase exponentially in United States through 2030 so that number TKA increases by 673% for 3.48 million annually THA 174% 572,000 (1). gross cost American care system risen more than 4 fold since 2005, $13.43 billion, 5 fold, $40.8 billion (1,2)....
