In a 2014 analysis of orthopedic and neurological surgical case logs published by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), it was reported that graduating neurosurgery residents performed more than twice number spinal procedures in their training compared with residents. There has, however, been no follow-up assessment this trend. Moreover, whether gap volume equates to similar procedural hours has remained unstudied. Given association between outcomes, evaluating...
<h3>Background</h3> Posterior cervical decompression with or without fusion (PCD/F) is used to manage degenerative spinal conditions. Malnutrition has been implicated for poor outcomes in spine surgery. The aim of this study was assess the ability Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) as a risk calculator postoperative complications patients undergoing PCD/F. <h3>Methods</h3> 2006 2018 American College Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program Database queried status...
Abstract Purpose Since its release in November 2022, Chat Generative Pre‐Trained Transformer 3.5 (ChatGPT), a complex machine learning model, has garnered more than 100 million users worldwide. The aim of this study is to determine how well ChatGPT can generate novel systematic review ideas on topics within spine surgery. Methods was instructed give ten for five popular surgery literature: microdiscectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, kyphoplasty and disc replacement. A comprehensive...
Chiari malformations (CM) are congenital defects due to hypoplasia of the posterior fossa with cerebellar herniation into foramen magnum and upper spinal canal. Despite vast research done on this neurological structural syndrome, clinical features management options have not yet conclusively evolved. Quantification proper treatment planning, can lead potential perioperative benefits based diagnoses days procedure. This study aims identify if early operation produces better outcomes or there...
Due to electronic residency applications, US Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 scores are frequently used by orthopedic surgery program directors screen applicants. Prospective applicants therefore often use as a proxy for specialty competitiveness. The goal of this investigation was two-fold: (1) determine whether trends in indicative competitiveness and (2) report the characteristics that optimize medical student's match success. A retrospective review published National Resident...
<h3>Background</h3> The International Spine Study Group (ISSG) and the European (ESSG) developed an adult spinal deformity (ASD) risk calculator based on one of most granular, prospective ASD databases. utilizes preoperative radiographic, surgical, patient-specific variables to predict patient-reported outcomes complication rates at 2 years. Our aim was assess ISSG-ESSG calculator's usability in a single-institution population. <h3>Methods</h3> Frail ([F], 0.3 > 0.5) patients were...
Objectives Carotid body tumors (CBT) are rare paragangliomas of the carotid at bifurcation. The purpose this study was to determine effect hypertension on outcomes in tumor surgery. Study Design A retrospective database review. Methods Data resections performed from 2005 2014 were drawn American College Surgeons’ National Surgical Quality Improvement database. Two groups created based presence preoperative hypertension. These analyzed for demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative...
The internet is increasingly used to access patient education materials. average American reading level has been found be that of a 7th- 8th-grade student, prompting the National Institutes Health (NIH) and Medical Association (AMA) advise materials written between 4th- 6th-grade level. purpose this study was evaluate current for most common musculoskeletal oncological tumors. A Google search performed with all location filters off account geographic variability related 28 orthopedic primary...
This study aimed to identify complication trends of Chiari Malformation Type 1 patients (CM-1) for certain procedures and concomitant diagnoses on a national level.The Kids' Inpatient Database was queried operative CM-1 by International Classification Disease-9 codes (348.4). Differences in preoperative demographics perioperative rates between patient cohorts were assessed using Pearson's Chi-squared test t-test when necessary. Binary logistic regression utilized find significant factors...
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common orthopaedic condition affecting newborns. The rapid and vast adoption social media has changed how we access medical information. aim this study was to deepen understanding impact as tool used by caregivers. A search performed on Facebook (FB), Twitter (TW), YouTube (YT) platforms. Information quantitatively assessed category, number posts users. Comments from medial platforms were then qualitatively using thematic analysis. 16 pages...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Objective. The purpose of this study was to utilize the National Readmission Database determine national estimates complication and 90-day readmission rates associated with cervical spinal fusion in adult patients rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Summary Background. RA who undergo spine surgery are known be at high risk for readmissions, which costly may not reimbursed by Medicare. Methods. queried adults (>18 years) diagnosed undergoing fusion....
Scaphoid fractures are the most encountered carpal fracture. Unstable with substantial comminution or bone loss, as well scaphoid nonunions, may benefit from fixation using volar locking plates. This article presents a surgical technique for open reduction and internal of plate non-vascularized autogenous cancellous graft distal radius.
Given its minimally invasive nature and effectiveness, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has become a mainstay for the multimodal treatment of intracranial neoplasm. However, no studies have evaluated recent trends in use SRS versus those open resection management brain tumor or involvement neurosurgeons (which is primarily delivered by radiation oncologists). Here, authors used publicly available Medicare data from 2009 to 2018 elucidate neoplasm compare reimbursements between these...
The Internet is an important source of information for patients, but its effectiveness relies on the readability content. Patient education materials (PEMs) should be written at or below a sixth-grade reading level as outlined by agencies such American Medical Association. This study assessed PEMs' novel anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT), distraction-based methods, and posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in treating pediatric deformity.
<h3>Background</h3> Approximately 50% of patients with congenital scoliosis will require surgical treatment to prevent further progression. Outcomes following are sparse in the literature. The purpose this study was identify independent risk factors associated unplanned readmission and prolonged length stay (LOS) undergoing primary for scoliosis. <h3>Methods</h3> National Surgical Quality Improvement Database-Pediatric queried database years 2016–2018 who underwent posterior fusion spine....
Chordoma is a rare bone cancer arising from the embryonic notochord with special predilection to axial skeleton. The locally destructive nature and metastatic potential of chordomas can lead devastating outcomes in terms survival. purpose this study was examine risk factors predictive disease at presentation prognostic patients metastasis. SEER used classify each patient as having or localized time diagnosis. Patient-specific tumor characteristics were analyzed determine which an increased...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an amalgamation of medical disorders that ultimately increase patient complications. Factors such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes are associated with this disease complex.To assess the incremental value improving MetS in relation to clinical outcomes.Retrospective cohort study.Patients undergoing elective spine surgery were isolated separated into 2 groups: patients (>2 metabolic variables: diabetes, triglycerides) nonmetabolic (<2...
