Background: Hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is known to produce excellent outcomes, yet some patients do not return their preinjury level of sport participation. Much literature on has revolved around anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and even shoulder instability, but none date have used qualitative, semistructured patient interviews with hip labral tears. Purpose: To understand the factors influencing decision after arthroscopic surgery FAI. Study Design:...
Previous authors have suggested that intra-articular morphine and clonidine injections after knee arthroscopy demonstrated equivocal analgesic effect in comparison with bupivacaine while circumventing the issue of chondrotoxicity. There been no studies evaluating hip arthroscopy.To evaluate efficacy combination on postoperative pain narcotic consumption surgery for femoroacetabular impingement.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A retrospective chart review was performed 43 patients underwent...
Depression and related psychiatric diagnoses are common in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). The effects of depression on postoperative complications, readmissions, additional ipsilateral surgery not well studied.Patients with preoperative who undergo FAIS would experience higher rates 90-day complications an increased risk procedures, as compared without depression.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A retrospective cohort study between 2010...
Nonoperative and operative treatment modalities have been used for symptom management of adhesive capsulitis, but neither has shown to significantly alter the long-term natural history.The purpose was evaluate current trends in resource strategy utilization patients with capsulitis. It hypothesized that (1) idiopathic capsulitis will primarily undergo nonoperative (2) systemic medical comorbidities demonstrate relatively higher therapies.Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.We searched...
The objective of this study was to understand the experiences and perspectives varsity football athletes on return play following a concussion injury.Two experienced interviewers conducted qualitative, semistructured interviews college-level players who had sustained at least one during their careers.Twenty averaged 2.3 concussions each (range, 1-5) were interviewed regarding peer pressure, culture football, player awareness as factors affecting sport concussion. Less common secondary...
Background: Intraoperative identification of syndesmotic malreduction during ankle fracture fixation can be challenging. Prior studies describe the normal tibiofibular relationship on anteroposterior and mortise views to aid assessment, but anatomic variation lateral view has not been well defined. The aim this study was anatomy radiographic ankle, focusing relative position fibula tibial plafond. Methods: We retrospectively identified consecutive adults undergoing open reduction internal in...
Pediatric hand injuries are extremely common. Although many adequately managed in the emergency department, some may need evaluation and treatment by a pediatric surgeon to ensure good functional outcome. This article discusses diagnosis management of most common maladies: fingertip injuries/amputation, tendon injuries, phalangeal metacarpal fractures. The plastic surgery nurse should be familiar with that require intervention facilitate efficient optimal postoperative care.
Tenodesis of the long head biceps tendon can be performed through arthroscopic and open techniques with various fixation methods at different locations on humerus. Many have been described, controversy surrounding advantages disadvantages each. In this Technical Note, we describe an all-arthroscopic, intra-articular, single-portal, suprapectoral tenodesis all-suture anchor. This technique also allows for suture passage before tenotomy to ensure proper maintenance length-tension relationship...
Few studies have evaluated the effect of hepatitis C (HCV) on primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Our purpose was to determine if HCV infection is associated with increased complication rates after TSA in United States (US) veterans and, secondarily, preoperative treatment direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) affects postoperative rates.US Department Veterans Affairs (VA) data sets were used retrospectively identify patients without HCV, untreated and treated DAAs who underwent from 2014...
Perioperative pain management remains an important focus of both patient and provider attention in orthopaedic trauma surgery. There is a constant effort to improve while decreasing opioid consumption, peripheral nerve blocks are safe effective way achieve these two goals. This particularly relevant because more procedures being done outpatient surgery centers, the need safely provide analgesia without systemic risk medications paramount. The primary goal this article was describe...
PurposeTo compare the incidence, patient demographics, complication rates, readmission and reoperation rates of open arthroscopic surgery performed for septic arthritis in native knee shoulder joints.MethodsRecords patients who were diagnosed with or underwent irrigation debridement (I&D) between 2015 2018 queried from PearlDiver Mariner Database. International Classification Diseases 10th (ICD-10) diagnosis procedure codes used to identify track reoperations. Reoperation procedures,...
This study evaluated the relationship between obesity and postoperative complications in patients undergoing ankle open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).
Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) has been identified as a risk factor for injury in various athletic patient populations.To evaluate GJH predisposing population of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I football players.Cohort study; Level evidence, 2.The Beighton score was collected 73 athletes during their preseason physical examinations 2019. defined ≥4. Athlete descriptive characteristics, including age, height, weight, and playing position, were recorded. The...
