Testosterone is a pleiotropic hormone that plays an important role in the human body. Classically, testosterone was thought to be predominantly involved androgenesis and physiology boys men. Through its conversion estrogen, affects bone health, including density. Recently, there has been renewed interest systemic of pain, well-being, cardiovascular function women men alike. In this review, we discuss historic significance testosterone, traditionally known physiology, molecular cellular...
Aims The aim of this study was to compare the rate perioperative complications following aseptic revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients aged ≥ 80 years with that those < years, and identify risk factors for incidence serious adverse events using a large validated national database. Patients Methods who underwent THA were identified 2005 2015 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database stratified into two age groups: years. Preoperative procedural...
Study Design. Retrospective study of prospectively collected data. Objective. To determine the incidence, timing, risk factors, and clinical implications postoperative hematoma requiring reoperation after anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF). Summary Background Data. Postoperative hematomas are rare but potentially catastrophic complications ACDF. However, there has been a lack large cohort studies investigating these in ACDF population despite increasing outpatient procedure volume....
While multiple studies have assessed the trends of Medicare reimbursement for orthopedic total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgeries, none forecasted in relatable per-hour figures. The purposes this study are to examine primary and revision TJA translate compensation.
Background: Accurate assessment of the femoral version can be challenging in operating room. We evaluated if an observer reliably and accurately determine when a neck is parallel to floor with modified C-arm technique. compared this technique previously reported Ogata-Goldsand for determining intraoperative version. Methods: To evaluate level ground, 72 cadaveric femurs were photographed laterally at proximal femur bone rotated simulate ranging from −20 degrees +20 5-degree increments. These...
Previous reports have proposed an association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subsequent glioblastoma (GBM) formation.We used literature searches radiographic evidence from two patients to assess the possibility of a link TBI GBM.Epidemiological studies are equivocal on possible trauma increased risk malignant glioma formation. We present case with GBM arising at site prior injury.The hypothesis that may predispose gliomagenesis is disputed by several large-scale epidemiological...
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is an uncommon clinical entity. Heritable connective tissue disorders (HCTD), such as Marfan syndrome, are frequently implicated underlying cause, due to dural structural weaknesses that predispose patients spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Due the high prevalence of multi-system disease in HCTD, diagnosis and treatment often complicated.We present a 58-year-old female with syndrome on anticoagulation for mechanical aortic valve replacement who...
Study Design. A retrospective cohort comparison study. Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the perioperative adverse event profile cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) performed as an outpatient relative inpatient procedure. Summary Background Data. Recent reimbursement changes and a push for safe reductions in hospital stay have resulted increased interest performing CTDRs setting. However, there has been paucity studies investigating safety CTDR procedures, despite...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and knee (TKA), occurring in up to 85% of patients who are not treated with prophylaxis. The initiation VTE development may occur intraoperatively. This study investigated whether this gap prophylaxis can be addressed by the use intraoperative intermittent pneumatic compression devices (IPCDs) if IPCDs have meaningful benefit preventing symptomatic VTE. authors defined as deep venous thrombosis either...
There has been a lack of studies investigating the perioperative course total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) performed in increasingly octogenarian (≥80 years old) population large sample size. The purpose this study was to compare complications between primary TSA octogenarians and that younger populations (<70 70 79 from National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.Patients who underwent January 2005 December 2015 were identified database stratified into three age groups: <70, 79,...
Arthroplasty procedures are commonly performed and contribute to healthcare expenditures seen in the United States. Surgical team members may make selections among implants materials without always knowing their relative cost. The current study reports on a survey aimed investigate perceptions of an academic group about cost value used operating room related joint arthroplasty cases using 10 matched pairs items. Of 124 persons eligible take survey, 102 responded (response rate 82.3%)...
There is a paucity of data regarding compensation for early-career adult reconstruction surgeons. This study aims to quantify the time throughout full episode care Medicare primary total hip/knee arthroplasty and convert per-hour pay surgeons at various geographic locations practice settings. Using Center Medicaid Services data, this also compares vs established joint (TJA)
With the aging of US population, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is becoming an increasingly common procedure. A major concern after THA reducing infection rates, as infections can cause devastating complications. Improved sterile technique, standardized control protocols, and novel dressings have been used to reduce postoperative surgical site (SSIs). The use either silver-impregnated dry or easily applied incisional negative pressure aimed at rates SSIs primary anterior THA. authors...
A major complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is infection, which can have devastating clinical and financial results. Silver-impregnated dry dressings, such as Aquacel incisional negative pressure dressings (Prevena) been developed to reduce the rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) surgery. We retrospectively reviewed medical records 235 patients who underwent primary posterior approach THA at our institution during a three-year period. Patients were grouped based on dressing....
