Although previous studies have evaluated how the proportion of women in orthopaedic surgery has changed over time, these analyses been limited by small sample sizes, primarily used data on residents, and not included information growth across subspecialties geographic regions.We National Provider Identifier registry to ask: How (1) overall, (2) regional, (3) subspecialty percentages among all currently practicing providers time United States?The Registry Centers for Medicare Medicaid...
Aims Earlier studies dealing with trends in the management of osteonecrosis femoral head (ONFH) identified an increasing rate total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and a decreasing joint-preserving procedures between 1992 2008. In effort to assess new this condition, study evaluated annual versus for patients aged < or > 50 years old, incidence specific operative techniques. Methods A 219,371 ONFH were from nationwide database 1 January 2009 31 December 2015. The mean age was 54 (18 90)...
The International Consensus Meeting on Venous Thromboembolism (ICM-VTE) in 2022 proclaimed low-dose aspirin as the most effective agent patients across all risk profiles undergoing joint arthroplasty. However, data large patient populations assessing trends chemoprophylactic choices and related outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain scant. present study was designed to characterize clinical use of various agents TKA determine efficacy compared with other groups stratified by...
Background: Telemedicine platforms have been developed to support the convenient delivery of health care services their patients while maintaining appropriate quality care. However, it is unclear whether they can be utilized effectively in with pediatric spinal deformity (PSD). Therefore, this study aimed evaluate feasibility and patient satisfaction associated virtual visit (VV) utilization PSD comparison general orthopaedic indications. Methods: Of 482 VVs offered at a large academic...
Background: Revision total knee arthroplasty for infection is challenging. Septic revisions, whether 1-stage or 2-stage, may require more time and effort than comparable aseptic revisions. However, the burden of not be reflected by relative value units (RVUs) assigned to septic revision compared with revision. The purposes this study were compare RVUs arthroplasties calculate RVU per minute work effort. Methods: American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS...
Background: Investigations into reimbursement trends for primary and revision arthroplasty procedures have demonstrated a steady decline over the past several years. Revision total hip (rTHA) due to infection (rTHA-I) has been associated with higher resource utilization complexity, but long-term inflation-adjusted data yet be compared between rTHA-I rTHA aseptic complications (rTHA-A). The present study was performed analyze temporal regarding those rTHA-A procedures. Methods: Centers...
As orthopaedic physician fees continue to come under scrutiny by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), there is a continued need evaluate trends in reimbursement rates across contemporary time intervals. Although substantially lower work relative value units (RVUs) have been previously demonstrated septic revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with aseptic revisions, our knowledge, has no corresponding analysis comparing fees. Therefore, purpose of study was...
Inequalities involving women across orthopaedic subspecialties continue to be highlighted in the literature. Previous analyses exploring reimbursement differences between sexes have not controlled for confounding factors or been limited by small sample sizes. Our study used Medicare data on a national of surgeons better evaluate these disparities.This cross-sectional analysis publicly available from Centers & Medicaid Services Physician and Other Supplier Public Use File. Using each...
Knee cartilage damage poses significant clinical challenges, with osteoarthritis and focal defects compromising joint integrity. Numerous surgical nonsurgical approaches address pathology. These aim to repair defects, provide symptom relief, restore function, prevent disease progression. Outcomes vary based on lesion characteristics patient factors. While certain interventions demonstrate encouraging results, limitations persist regarding indications, technique standardization, evidence...
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to assess the cost‐effectiveness a novel, fluoroscopy‐based robotic‐assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA‐THA) system compared manual unassisted technique (mTHA) up 5 years post‐operatively. Methods A Markov model constructed compare RA‐THA and mTHA. Cost‐effectiveness defined as an Incremental Cost‐Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) <$50 000 or $100 per Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY). Results patients experienced lower costs mTHA at 1 year ($20...
BackgroundIn response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, US hospitals have canceled elective surgeries. This decline in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) revenue may place financial strain on hospitals. Our goal was quantify impact of COVID-19 public interest TJA.MethodsThe Google Search Volume Index (GSVI) identified terms "knee replacement," "hip and "orthopedic surgeon" as most common describe TJA. The term "elective surgery cancellation" also analyzed. Weekly GSVI data...
