Abstract Background There are a variety of criteria for defining successful treatment after two-stage exchange arthroplasty prosthetic joint infection (PJI). To accurately assess current practices and improve techniques, it is important to first establish reliable, clinically relevant, reproducible persistent “successful” outcomes. Question/purpose Is the proportion patients considered have management PJI resection smaller using 2019 Musculoskeletal Infection Society Outcome Reporting Tool...
Risk-factor identification related to chronic opioid use after surgery may facilitate interventions mitigating postoperative consumption. We evaluated the relationship between preceding total hip arthroplasty (THA) and knee (TKA), postoperatively, risk of joint arthroplasty. All primary THAs TKAs performed during a 6-month period were identified. Opioid prescription utilization data (in oxycodone equivalents) determined via survey electronic records. Relationship preoperative continued >90...
Given financial and clinical implications of readmissions after total hip arthroplasty (THA) the potential for varied expenditures related to a hospital's teaching status, this study sought characterize 90-day hospital readmission patterns assess likelihood based on designation Medicare beneficiaries' (MB's) index THA hospital.Retrospective analysis 2016-2018 Centers Medicaid Services-linked data identified primary hospitalizations within 90 days. Hospitals were categorized as or nonteaching...
Case: Case 1 is a 6-month-old female who presented for evaluation of asymptomatic vertebral anomalies in the setting jaundice and cardiac murmur; she was diagnosed with Alagille syndrome (AGS). Her spine has been monitored clinically. 2 10-year-old sustained pathologic femur fracture known AGS, requiring operative stabilization optimization her bone mineral density. Conclusions: Pediatric orthopaedists care children AGS both management congenital musculoskeletal treatment fractures....
