To examine the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) to prepare surgical trainees for a pediatric orthopedic surgery procedure: pinning slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).Participants were randomly assigned standard, study guide (SG) group or VR training group. All participants provided technique video and SG; additionally trained via an Osso trainer (ossovr.com) with real-time feedback coaching from attending surgeon. Following training, performed SCFE guidewire placement on SawBones model...
Prediction of nonhome discharge after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) distal femur fractures may facilitate earlier planning, potentially decreasing costs and improving outcomes. We aim to develop algorithms predicting time ORIF identify features important for model performance. This is a retrospective cohort study adults in the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database who underwent between 2010 2019. The primary outcome was discharge,...
Introduction: Distal femur fractures are complex injuries that often present with multiple fragments, posing notable challenges to fixation. This study aimed (1) use preoperative CT scans graphically display fracture lines in intra-articular distal and (2) identify common patterns these injuries. Methods: All skeletally mature patients underwent surgical fixation of Orthopaedic Trauma Association type 33C between 2012 2022 were identified across two level 1 trauma centers (n = 63)....
To assess the biomechanical differences between linked and unlinked constructs in young osteoporotic cadavers addition to sawbones.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcome patients with displaced tibial tubercle fractures treated surgically who spent one or more nights in hospital after surgery that an ambulatory setting no perioperative hospitalization. We hypothesized have a low rate complications and most do well without overnight stay for observation. Methods: retrospectively reviewed all pediatric operatively by single surgeon over 13.5-year period. Fractures inpatient setting, defined as at...
Case: We describe 3 cases of children, ages ranging from years 11 months to 6 months, who presented with medial condyle fractures (MCF) over a 3-year period distinct treatment outcomes. Conclusion: Pediatric MCFs are rare and difficult diagnose, but evidence severe edema in the presence an apparent avulsion fracture on side elbow patients younger than old could suggest possibility displaced humeral additional assessment involving evaluation under anesthesia, arthrography, or advanced imaging...
Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a challenging complication of replacement surgery. With the more frequent use immune modifying drugs and dietary changes in human populations, resultant blunting defenses allows for infections with less common organisms. Case Report: Lactococcus garvieae is an anaerobic, gram-positive coccus reservoirs fish domesticated farm animals. Only two prior cases PJI due to L. have been reported, both reported marine transmission. We report...
