Objectives: To determine the proportion of patients requiring secondary surgery for symptomatic implant removal after open reduction, internal fixation using dual mini-fragment plating technique clavicular shaft fractures. Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: Single university Level 1 trauma center. Patients: Eighty-one treated with fractures (OTA/AO 15-B1, B2, and B3) minimum 12-month follow-up (median 477 days; range 371–1549 days). Intervention: Open Main Outcome...
Introduction: Perioperative hypothermia (PH) is common in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA). A previous study at our institution identified the largest drop core body temperature between preoperative holding and induction of anesthesia. This evaluates effect warming measures on PH TJA patients. Methods: retrospective review was conducted 672 April 1 October 31, 2017. Under new normothermia protocol, received warmed intravenous fluids forced-air gowns area. Time data for...
Ankle fractures are among the most common injuries requiring operative management. Implant choices include one-third tubular plates and anatomically precontoured plates. Although cadaveric studies have not revealed biomechanical differences between various plate constructs, there substantial cost differences. This study sought to characterize economic implications of implant choice. A retrospective review was undertaken 201 consecutive patients with operatively treated OTA type 44B 44C...
Introduction Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is a standard treatment for arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with reported rates of 1.5-6%. Customized TKA may have better outcomes by matching individual patient anatomy. However, previous study an unacceptably high rate MUA customized TKAs. This reports the incidence in large cohort second generation Methods:Data was collected prospectively on 360 2nd ConforMIS iTotal cruciate retaining performed clinically significant...
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures in select patients, although dislocation remains a concern. In some studies, supercapsular percutaneously assisted (SuperPATH) approach has demonstrated early mobilization, short hospital stay, and low rates primary THA, but there are little data on its use fractures. This study describes perioperative outcomes rate of SuperPATH THA fragility fractures.A retrospective review was performed previous...
Abstract Background Dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has an incidence of 2–3%. Approximately 77% dislocations occur within the first year surgery. The SuperPATH technique is a minimally invasive approach for THA that preserves soft tissue attachments. purpose this study to describe dislocation rate at 1 THA. Methods All elective THAs performed by senior author using approach. Exclusion criteria were acute femoral neck fracture, revision surgery, or malignancy. There 214...
Background: Decreased length of stay after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is becoming a more common way to contain healthcare costs and increase patient satisfaction. There little evidence support "early" discharge in elderly patients. Purpose: We sought identify preoperative factors that correlated with early (by postoperative day [POD] 1) comparison late (after POD2) octogenarians TJA. Methods: In retrospective cohort study from single institution, we identified 482 patients ages 80 89 who...
