Background COVID-19 has caused unprecedented delays in elective orthopedic surgery. Understanding patients' perceptions of the disruptions care and their willingness to reengage healthcare system are crucial planning resumption care. Questions/Purposes The purpose this study was elicit patient about total joint arthroplasty during pandemic. Methods We identified a consecutive series patients who experienced COVID-19-driven scheduled hip or knee at an urban, academic medical center...

Heterotopic ossification (HO) in the knee after tibial intramedullary nailing (IMN) has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Our aim was assess frequency and associated factors for HO IMN.

Internal fixation (IF) has historically been favored for the treatment of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in young, nongeriatric patients. However, recent literature reporting high reoperation rates among those receiving IF, taken conjunction with favorable survivorship modern bearing surfaces total hip arthroplasty (THA), begun to question this paradigm. Our study sought compare outcomes between IF and THA FNFs patients aged 40-59 years.Using Truven MarketScan Database, we performed a...

The vallate papillae, commonly referred to as circumvallate are lingual papillae located at the posterior dorsum of tongue, which form a V‐shaped row immediately anterior sulcus terminalis. As name suggests, normally surrounded by vallum, small mound tissues, creates (or trench) around papilla. inner surface vallum houses approximately half taste buds within tongue. Therefore, important anatomical structures in gustation; however, little data exists regarding gross morphology papillae. In...

Costal cartilage grafting is a commonly used procedure in reconstructive surgery. The decision regarding which to select often question of the volume material necessary shape graft. However, there little information depth (superficial‐to‐deep) grafted costal cartilages. Therefore, this cadaveric study sought determine average 5 th , 6 7 and 8 cartilages at medial, lateral, intermediate locations along Results revealed thickest found medial portion while thinnest aspect cartilage. thickness...

Over the past seventy‐five years, autologous costal cartilage has been used for diverse surgical reconstructions including reconstruction of ear, nose, and midface. Despite wide utilization grafts, there is little agreement regarding which level particular portion each most optimal grafts varying sizes. Furthermore, have few studies dedicated to understanding size cartilage. Therefore, aim this cadaveric study was provide salient measurements that will aid in selection harvests. The analyzed...

The vallate papillae, or circumvallate are located at the posterior dorsum of tongue, which form a V‐shaped row immediately anterior to sulcus terminalis. Normally, papillae surrounded by vallum, small mound tissues, creates (or trench) around papilla. inner surface vallum houses approximately half taste buds within plays an important role in bitter perception and biased food selection. Biased selection differences eating behavior, general, have been linked sex differences, numerous studies...

Identification of the rib‐cartilage interface is often done intraoperatively. However, it would be benefit to understand locations joint lines for pre‐operative planning. Therefore, we conducted a study wherein junctures were identified from 16 cadaveric rib cages. Geometric morphometric analysis was then performed in order determine consensus shape lines. Principle component revealed most common variations The results suggest that shape, when aligned with easy‐to‐palpate second costal...

The submental musculature is important in numerous head and neck surgeries including rhytidectomy, the artery flap, anterior digastric muscle transfer. Variations can lead to complications during surgery may necessitate appropriate contingency plans when encountered. Further, variations of are common; however, few attempts have been made categorize commonly occurring variations. This report documents prevalence a variation previously thought occur as an entirely unique variation. appears...

When viewed from the anterior, seventh costal cartilage tends to have an “L” shape that lends itself a single‐block graft reconstruct dorsum and columella of nose. However, it has been observed 7th can be bowed anteriorly. Because anterior contour 7 th never examined, this cadaveric study analyzed as superior via geometric morphometric techniques determine average most likely variance. On average, had moderate bowing; however, ranged severely nearly flat. present, bowing was pronounced...

Costal cartilage grafting is commonly utilized in rhinoplasty. Despite the common utilization of costal autografts, there are differing opinions regarding which levels provide most ideal grafts. The shapes cartilages thought to lend themselves certain grafts; however, has been little study cartilages, and reports have anecdotal. Therefore, this aimed detail average shape variation fifth, sixth, seventh cartilages. A total 96 cadaveric were analyzed through geometric morphometric techniques....

The vallate papillae, commonly referred to as circumvallate are gustatory papillae located at the posterior dorsum of tongue that house approximately half taste buds within tongue. Recently, twelve different gross morphotypes were identified. Morphological variation could be involved with pathogenesis oral cancer into base At present, there has not been histological assessment identified morphotypes. This study assessed 30 cadaveric tongues containing 300 by stereoscopic microscopy. through...
