Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) syndrome refers to a rare compressive neuropathy of the PIN resulting in motor dysfunction forearm extensor compartment. Often, surgical exploration will reveal extrinsic structures that mechanically compress nerve. Less frequently, has been reported with visible hourglass-like constriction and no identifiable causative adjacent structures. In our report, we describe an adolescent patient associated PIN. For diagnosis, used physical examination,...
The authors review their experiences with perioperative infection markers.
Introduction: With the increasing demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), rapid recovery protocols (RRPs) have been introduced to reduce costs and length of stay (LOS). Little is known about effects RRPs on postoperative range motion (ROM). Methods: We reviewed medical charts 323 patients who underwent primary TKA performed by a single orthopaedic surgeon at university-based tertiary care safety net practice. Of patients, 129 were treated with standard protocol (SRP) between January 1,...
A lack of knowledge exists about which patient characteristics predict failure to meet validated thresholds for clinically meaningful change on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).A retrospective chart review was performed patients who underwent primary TKA by a single surgeon between January 2013 June 2018. Variables included demographics (age, sex, race, insurance type), comorbidities, body mass index, preoperative KOOS subscale...
PurposeIt is unclear whether computed tomography (CT) scans alter the surgical plan when ordered before surgery for fixation of intra-articular distal radius fractures (DRFs). The purpose this study was to determine a preoperative CT scan alters planned approach (PA) or strategy (PFS) open reduction internal DRFs.MethodsRadiology records were retrospectively reviewed by one trauma surgeon and two hand surgeons 33 DRFs that met inclusion criteria previously underwent fixation. Surgeons...
Fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FCD) is a variant of fibrous that often involves the proximal femur in young adults. It has similar appearance on imaging as other entities but stippled calcifications within lesion. The differential diagnosis includes benign and malignant tumors such dysplasia, chondroblastoma, enchondroma, chondrosarcoma. Histology required for treatment typically surgical due to potential pain, pathologic fracture, deformity. We report clinical presentation, findings,...
Surgical correction of spinal deformity has shown good results in terms pain reduction, but it is uncertain why some patients continue to have chronic following surgery. With the true prevalence and etiology back posterior fusion with instrumentation (PSF) for Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) unknown, we sought review potential causes PSF AIS. After a thorough literature review, surgery remains difficult quantify. Definitions include severe within 6 months surgery, at least one time two...
The Scheker prosthesis is a distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthroplasty used as salvage option for many DRUJ pathologies.We report the case of patient who underwent insertion continued pain and limited motion at wrist in setting failed Sauve-Kapandji with well fixed ulnar stem pseudo-arthrosis.This aims to provide technique removal without compromising bone needed describing location osteotomy radio-lunate stability.The able be safely inserted after if careful prevents destruction ulna,...
