Multivariate analysis of prospectively collected registry data.Using multivariate to determine significant risk factors for medical complication after cervical spine surgery.Several studies have examined the occurrence surgery. However, many these been done using large national databases. While allow thousands patients, potentially influential covariates are not accounted in retrospective studies. Furthermore, accuracy data collection databases has called into question.The Spine End Results...
History Joseph C. Risser first described what now is called the sign in 1958 [17]. observed that state of ossification iliac apophysis was associated with a patient's spinal skeletal maturity, critical piece information management adolescent scoliosis His findings developed from work he did Ferguson 1936, which showed growth column and progression were more rapid children between 10 15 years old than 5 [18]. However, difficulty evaluating vertebral plates drove him to look for surrogate...
Corticosteroid injections are a first-line treatment of trigger finger and de Quervain's tenosynovitis. Little research has evaluated preinjection patient-reported outcomes as predictive factor for success following corticosteroid injection. We hypothesized that patients with less pretreatment impairment would demonstrate greater post-treatment improvement than whose function was more severely impaired. retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement...
Multivariate analysis of prospectively collected registry data.To determine the effect payor status on complication rates after spine surgery.Understanding risk perioperative complications is an essential aspect in improving patient outcomes. Previous studies have looked at surgery and factors related to increased complications. In other areas medicine, there has been a growing body evidence gathered evaluate role outcomes Several found inferior uninsured Medicaid insured.The Spine End...
To investigate the effects of histone methyltransferase ESET (also known as SETDB1) on bone metabolism, we analyzed osteoblasts and osteoclasts in knockout animals, performed osteogenesis assays using ESET-null mesenchymal stem cells. We found that deletion severely impairs osteoblast differentiation but has no effect osteoclastogenesis, co-transfection represses Runx2-mediated luciferase reporter while siRNA knockdown activates cells, is required for postnatal expression Indian hedgehog...
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) continues to rise in popularity as a treatment option for syndrome. Numerous variations technique and instrumentation currently exist, broadly classified into two-portal single-portal techniques with antegrade retrograde designs. ECTR is equally effective open alleviating symptoms of syndrome no differences long-term outcomes. has an increased risk transient nerve injury, whereas wound scar complications. higher direct costs but associated earlier...
Vascularized composite allotransplantation has redefined the frontiers of plastic and reconstructive surgery. At cutting edge this evolving paradigm, authors present first successful combined full face bilateral hand transplant.A 21-year-old man presented for evaluation with sequelae an 80 percent total body surface area burn injury sustained after a motor vehicle accident. The included upper extremity tissue defects, resulting in reduced quality life loss independence. Multidisciplinary...
Background Length of immobilization after operative fixation unstable distal radius fractures and management in elderly patients is an area debate. Purpose The purpose this study to delineate common practices fellowship-trained hand surgeons how they compare with current evidence-based protocols. Methods Surveys were distributed American Society for Surgery the Hand members on preferred methods fixation, postoperative immobilization, variations treatment fractures. Responses analyzed...
The pedicled latissimus flap has been shown to provide effective coverage of wounds around the elbow with an average size 100 147 cm2 but complication rates 20% 57%. We believe dorsi is and safe technique that provides reliable durable considerably larger soft tissue defects proximal forearm.A retrospective review was performed including all patients from Harborview Medical Center between 1998 2012 who underwent for elbow. Demographic information, injury mechanism, defect size, complications...
Background: Perilunate dislocations (PLD) and fracture-dislocations (PLFD) comprise a spectrum of high-energy wrist injuries. The purpose this review was to operative strategies for perilunate injuries based on approach compare outcomes. Methods: A systematic literature PLD carried out according Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). PubMed EMBASE databases were queried literature. Inclusion criteria included English studies reporting clinical or functional...
It is our hypothesis that physician-specific variables affect the management of distal radius (DR) fractures in addition to patient-specific factors.A prospective cohort study was conducted evaluating treatment differences between Certificate Additional Qualification hand surgeons (CAQh) and board-certified orthopaedic who treat patients at level 1 or 2 trauma centers (non-CAQh). After institutional review board approval, 30 DR were selected classified (15 AO/OTA type A B 15 C) create a...
We retrospectively reviewed 201 digit replantations or revascularizations that were performed between August 2007 and June 2015. Leeching therapy was used in 48 digits more commonly required replanted digits. In revascularized digits, leeching significantly frequently avulsion injuries associated with fractures. Digits leeched for than 4.5 days had higher rates of survival after replantation revascularization. incidence transfusion, mean number transfusions, longer length stay. conclude from...
Injuries requiring resection of tissue followed by autogenous bone transfer may be prone to infection Staphylococcus aureus, impeding recovery and increasing medical costs. For critical sized defects, the common approach reconstruction is a procedure but subject limitations (e.g., donor site morbidity, cost, operating time). Utilizing beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) as grafting material augmented with silver (Ag), custom graft 3D printed overcome minimize potential infections.
Background: Interpositional grafts can be used to reconstruct the digital artery during revascularization and replantation when primary repair is not possible. The purpose of this study was determine effect using interpositional on rate digit survival. Methods: A retrospective review all patients from 2007 2016 that required and/or one or more digits performed. Results: One hundred twenty-seven were identified with 171 affected (118 revascularizations 53 replantations). graft in 50 percent...
Background: The general teaching is that increased number of vein repairs in digit replantation leads to improved venous outflow, resulting lower need for iatrogenic bleeding, postoperative transfusion requirements, and better survival rates. purpose this study was determine whether the traditional emphasizes repair multiple veins per arterial anastomosis results superior Methods: A retrospective review a single urban replant center’s single-digit replants distal mid-metacarpal level adult...
