Background: Shoulder instability is a relatively common condition occurring in 2% of the population. PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) was developed by National Institutes Health an effort to advance patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments developing question banks for major health domains. Purpose: To compare current PRO patients who would be undergoing operative intervention recurrent shoulder instability. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level...
Background: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) was developed as an extensive question bank with multiple health domains that could be utilized for computerized adaptive testing (CAT). In the present study, we investigated use of PROMIS Physical Function CAT (PROMIS PF CAT) in otherwise healthy population scheduled to undergo surgery meniscal injury hypotheses (1) would correlate strongly patient-reported outcome instruments measure physical function and not...
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) consists of question banks for health domains through computer adaptive testing (CAT).For patients with glenohumeral arthritis, (1) there would be high correlation between traditional patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures and the PROMIS upper extremity item bank (PROMIS UE) physical function CAT PF CAT), (2) not demonstrate ceiling effects.Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 3.Sixty-one osteoarthritis were...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the seasonality of surgical site infections (SSIs) can be explained by changes in temperature. DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING The National Inpatient Sample database. PATIENTS All hospital discharges with a primary diagnosis SSI from 1998 to 2011 were considered cases. Discharges or secondary diagnoses specific surgeries commonly associated SSIs previous and current month served as our “at risk” cohort. METHODS We modeled national monthly count...
Effective postoperative analgesia remains a priority in orthopaedic surgery, but concerns with regard to opioid diversion and misuse have brought overdue attention improving stewardship. Normative data for pain use are needed guide balance these dual priorities. We aimed characterize an archetypal pediatric procedure: closed reduction percutaneous pinning of supracondylar humeral fracture.Children at single trauma center who underwent fracture were enrolled prospectively followed. Validated...
Abstract Infection following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is rare. Previous authors have concluded that diabetes, tobacco use, and previous knee surgery may influence infection rates ACLR. The purpose of this study was to identify a cohort patients undergoing ACLR define (1) the incidence after from large multicenter database (2) risk factors for We identified elective ACLRs in American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program between 2007 2013....
Background:Communication with orthopedic trauma patients is traditionally problematic low response rates (RRs). The purpose of this investigation was to (1) evaluate the feasibility communicating postoperatively, utilizing an automated mobile phone messaging platform; and (2) assess first 2 weeks postoperative patient-reported pain opioid use after lower extremity procedures. Materials Methods:This a prospective at Level 1 center in United States. Adult who were capable undergoing common,...
Background: Pain management following surgical treatment of an ankle fracture is under-studied area clinical practice. The present study evaluated the efficacy a multimodal surgical-site injection as adjunct to postoperative pain in patients with operatively treated, closed, rotational fracture. Methods: Patients indicated for operative fixation were randomized receive (ropivacaine 200 mg, epinephrine 0.6 and morphine 5 mg) or no (control). Visual analog scale (VAS) opioid consumption data...
Purpose: Anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction presents a unique technical challenge for surgeons, requiring precise placement of multiple tunnels in relatively small area. As the necessity anatomic has been stressed throughout literature, developing method to consistently improve accuracy and precision tunnel is essential. We aimed investigate whether computer-assisted navigation allows novice surgeons place with similar degree experienced operating without computer assistance.Methods:...
