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.

Many studies have highlighted concerns about the completeness and quality of information found online how this may affect patients' education their medical problems. One aspect internet usage that has received less attention in literature, however, is patient perception gathered online, patients use it related to musculoskeletal care.The objective study utilize a cross-sectional design describe perceptions orthopedic identify differences patterns.One thousand two hundred ninety-six...

Aims Spinopelvic pathology increases the risk for instability following total hip arthroplasty (THA), yet few studies have evaluated how varies with age or sex. The aims of this study were: 1) to report differences in spinopelvic parameters advancing and between sexes; 2) determine variation prevalence THA factors age. Methods A multicentre database preoperative imaging 15,830 patients was reviewed. parameter measurements were made by experienced engineers, including anterior pelvic plane...

Background Ganglion cysts are the most frequent soft tissue tumor encountered in upper extremity and commonly treated by aspiration or surgical excision. Ultrasound is a promising addition to traditional aspiration, as it allows for visualization of needle within ganglion before aspiration. Questions Are wrist less likely reoccur if they aspirated under ultrasound guidance versus "blind" without use guidance? Does patient functionality change based on whether not cyst recurred? Patients...

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)

Background: Surgery for degenerative foot and ankle conditions often results in a lengthy recovery. Current outcome measures do not accurately assess postoperative mobility, especially older patients. The Life-Space Assessment (LSA), questionnaire quantifying patients’ mobility after medical event, was used this study to perioperative total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery We hypothesized that patients undergoing elective would have greater limitation than THA Methods: Preoperative, 3-month,...

Objectives: Patellar instability caused by severe trochlear dysplasia is best treated sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty. There have been no studies examining outcomes after this procedure in the United States. The purpose of study was to evaluate early outcome data patients undergoing trochleoplasty for high-grade at our institution. Methods: A total 43 (49 knees) with were prospectively enrolled and underwent 23 out 49 (46.9%) knees had prior surgery related patellar instability, six more...

Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis, Hindfoot, Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Degenerative conditions of the ankle, hindfoot, and midfoot can markedly limit mobility. Surgery often results in lengthy postoperative recoveries with requisite weight-bearing restrictions. In contrast, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated fewer restrictions quicker recovery this study, we utilized Life-Space Assessment (LSA), a questionnaire quantifying how patients mobilize after medical event as they...

Objectives: Patients with trochlear dysplasia often undergo primary procedures other than a trochleoplasty for recurrent patellar instability. When these fail and is performed, it unknown if patients do as well those that had their operation. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes after severe between group who previously underwent surgery instability initial procedure. Methods: In prospective cohort IRB approval, 40 sulcus-deepening additional related at least one...

Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis, Hindfoot, Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Degenerative conditions of the ankle, hindfoot, and midfoot can markedly limit mobility. The Life-Space Assessment (LSA) is a questionnaire quantifying how patients mobilize after medical event as they return to their previous daily settings. Current outcome measures do not accurately assess mobility in geriatric foot ankle population. In contrast, effect congestive heart failure (CHF) on patient routinely...

Case: A 13-year-old girl presented after a right proximal femur replacement femoral resection for treatment of an Ewing sarcoma. She multiple episodes recurrent instability with her hip endoprosthesis chronically dislocated. Her was revised to custom, constrained metal-on-metal acetabular component small iliac flange. The allograft-prosthetic composite. has been free malignancy recurrence, implant failure, or dislocation at 19-year follow-up duration. Conclusion: Dislocation the prosthetic...
