Abstract Background In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pledged payment telehealth visits duration of this public health emergency in an effort decrease COVID-19 transmission allow deployment residents attending physicians support critical-care services. Although pandemic has vastly expanded use, no studies our knowledge have analyzed implementation success orthopaedic trauma. This population is unique that patients who...
Objectives: This study highlights demographics and orthopaedic injuries of electric scooter–related trauma that presented to our institution over a 27-month period. Design: Retrospective review. Setting: Urban Level 1 center. Patients: Patients presenting the emergency department, bay, or outpatient clinic after scooter injury were identified from November 2017 through January 2020 using ICD-10 diagnosis codes. Main Outcomes: Patient charts reviewed for demographics, characteristics,...
Abstract Purpose While treatment modalities for Maisonneuve fractures involving the proximal third of fibula are established, no studies to date have reported outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation middle fibular shaft fractures. The purpose this study was evaluate in fibula. Methods A retrospective review conducted on 257 cases syndesmotic ankle instability at a level 1 trauma center between 2013 and 2023. Patients were divided into cohorts based fracture location proximal,...
Superior humeral migration has been established as a component of rotator cuff disease, it disrupts normal glenohumeral kinematics. Decreased acromiohumeral interval (AHI) measured on radiographs used to indicate tendinopathy. Currently, the data are mixed regarding specific pathology that contributes most head migration.To determine relationship between severity tears (RCTs) and AHI via large sample magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shoulder examinations.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A...
Background: Extremity amputations are associated with pain in both the residual limb and phantom limb. This pain, which is often debilitating, may be prevented by excellent perioperative control. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis an analgesic modality offering control for weeks or months following surgery. treatment has not been compared to sham procedure large nerves (e.g., femoral sciatic) provide preoperative analgesia. We therefore conducted a randomized, controlled pilot...
Summary: The aim of this study was to introduce various applications miniplate augmented tension-band wiring (TBW) for comminuted patella fractures and evaluate the clinical outcomes. Comminuted articular were managed with anterior cortical fixation a TBW technique from January 2014 2016. primary end point radiographic union. Secondary points complications related procedure. Functional outcomes including range motion also evaluated. Thirty patients followed up mean 20 months (range, 12–28)...
Abstract The authors’ institution utilizes multi-staged induced membrane technique protocol based on post-debridement culture in treating patients with critical-sized bone defect lower extremity due to infected nonunion or post-traumatic osteomyelitis. This study aimed evaluate the success rate of this limb reconstruction method and which risk factors are associated recurrence infection. 140 were treated from 2013 2018 followed up more than 24 months after grafting. primary was 75% a mean...
Background: Little is known about the volumetric changes of grafted bone over time when using induced membrane technique. This study investigates graft serial computed tomographic (CT) scans following Methods: Patients with critical-sized defects had CT after undergoing bone-grafting to evaluate volume were obtained immediately postoperatively and at 6 12 months. The change in was determined months postoperatively. Patient demographic characteristics, location composition graft, type...
Abstract Purpose Fracture blisters, a common soft-tissue complication of pilon fractures, are associated with post-operative wound infections, delays in definitive fixation, and alterations surgical plan. The purpose this study was to (1) identify the delay surgery attributable presence fracture blisters (2) investigate relationship comorbidities severity. Methods Patients fractures at an urban level 1 Trauma center from 2010 2021 were identified. or absence noted, along location....
The basic perineural catheter design has changed minimally since inception, with the introduced through or over a straight needle. U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently cleared novel comprising attached to back of suture-shaped needle that is inserted, advanced along arc its curvature pulling past target nerve, then exited skin in second location. authors hypothesized analgesia would be noninferior using new versus traditional first two days after painful foot/ankle surgery primary...
The lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve (LDCN) and the anastomotic branch of sural (AB) are sensory nerves at risk iatrogenic injury during foot surgery. This study is first to use a large cohort high-resolution magnetic resonance images (MRIs) ankle better describe course these in vivo order aid surgeons intraoperatively. Our intends build on "high inside" approach proximal 5MT by accounting for variations LDCN AB.One hundred twenty-five 3-tesla (T) MRI studies were analyzed. Three reviewers...
OBJECTIVES To determine if open (O) or closed (C) geriatric ankle fractures had different patient characteristics outcomes. METHODS Design: Retrospective cohort study Setting: Urban level 1 trauma center Patient Selection Criteria: Patients, age 60 years and older, who underwent operative fixation of a rotational fracture (OTA/AO 44A-C) between January 2012 September 2021. Outcome Measures Comparisons: Morbidity, defined as 90-day reoperation, readmission, loss mobility, well 1-year...
The axillary nerve (AXN) is one of the more commonly injured nerves during shoulder surgery. Prior anatomic studies AXN in adults were performed using cadaveric specimens with small sample sizes. Our research observes a larger cohort magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) order to gain representative course and aid surgeons intraoperatively.High-resolution 3T MRI at our institution from January 2010 June 2019 reviewed. Four blinded reviewers musculoskeletal radiology or orthopedic surgery training...
The sural nerve (SN) is a sensory cutaneous that at risk of iatrogenic injury during surgery the lateral ankle. Prior anatomic studies SN are limited primarily to cadaveric with small sample sizes. Our study analyzed large cohort magnetic resonance images (MRIs) ankle obtain more generalizable, in vivo distal course.A total 204 3-tesla MRI were analyzed. Three reviewers measured distance from various landmarks including tip malleolus (DTLM) and border Achilles tendon (LBA).Mean vertical DTLM...
The use of cannabis and cannabis-related products has increased dramatically in the last 2 decades. As states continue to legalize products, it is important for surgeons understand effects they may have on patients who sustained orthopaedic trauma.Cannabinoids been shown decrease severity certain symptoms related traumatic brain injury as well posttraumatic stress disorder.Cannabinoids can modulate body's endocannabinoid system, which play an role bone homeostasis. Activation cannabinoid...
