Trigger finger is a common aliment, thought to be caused by inflammation and subsequent narrowing of the A1 pulley, which causes pain, clicking, catching, loss motion affected finger. Although it can occur in anyone, seen more frequently diabetic population women, typically fifth sixth decade life. The diagnosis usually fairly straightforward, as most patients complain clicking or locking finger, but other pathological processes such fracture, tumor, traumatic soft tissue injuries must...
Objective: Integrate tracked ultrasound and AI methods to provide a safer more accessible alternative X-ray for scoliosis measurement. We propose automatic segmentation 3-dimensional spine visualization measurement address difficulties in using imaging. Methods: trained convolutional neural network on scans data from eight healthy adult volunteers. tested the pediatric patients. evaluated image volume reconstruction Results: As expected, fuzzy metrics reduced when networks were translated...
Background: Although osteoporosis is strongly associated with hip fractures, the initiation of treatment following fractures occurs at surprisingly low rates between 5% and 30%. Currently, most patients receiving have been referred back to their primary care physician for management. The purpose this study was compare effect management initiated by orthopaedic team on six months. Methods: A prospective randomized trial conducted assess difference in rate when an in-house assessment surgeon...

A better understanding of the natural history osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in adulthood should improve health care for patients with this rare condition. The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation established Adult Natural History Initiative (ANHI) 2010 to give voice concerns adult OI community and begin address existing knowledge gaps Using a web-based platform, 959 adults self-reported OI, representing wide range disease severity, reported symptoms conditions, estimated impact these on present...
Supracondylar humerus fractures are common pediatric injuries. Little is known about the risk factors for repeat operative procedures. A retrospective chart review of 709 patients treated a displaced supracondylar fracture was performed to identify return operating room during initial post-operative period. Deviations routine care were recorded and complication rates compared between Gartland type 2 3 using logistic regression. Type found have higher rate, and, specifically, more...
Background: Severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be treated with instrumented fusion, but the number of anchors needed for optimal correction is controversial. Methods: We conducted a multicenter, randomized study that included patients undergoing spinal fusion single thoracic curves between 45° and 65°, most common form operatively AIS. Of 211 randomized, 108 were assigned to high-density screw pattern 103, low-density pattern. Surgeons instructed use ≥1.8 implants per level...
Finger fractures are common injuries with a wide spectrum of presentation. Although vast majority these may be treated non-operatively gentle reduction, appropriate splinting, and careful follow-up, health care providers must recognize injury patterns that require more specialized care. Injuries involving unstable fracture patterns, intra-articular extension, or tendon function tend to have suboptimal outcomes non-operative treatment. Other including terminal extensor (mallet finger), stable...
Background Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP) has been found to be a powerful adjunct healing nonunions and obtaining fusions. Despite the apparent clinical efficacy good safety profile reported with rhBMP use in adults, there is little data regarding of this product pediatric patients. We evaluated rhBMP-2 patients determine if any complications were associated its use. Methods performed retrospective review 81 patients, all less then 18 years old, whom was used....
Toe walking is a bilateral gait abnormality in which normal heel strike absent and most weight bearing occurs through the forefoot. This may not be pathologic patients aged <2 years, but it common reason for referral to an orthopaedic surgeon. can caused by several neurologic developmental abnormalities first sign of global problem. Cases that lack definitive etiology are categorized as idiopathic. A detailed history, with careful documentation thorough physical examination required child...
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that can thermally ablate tumors. Boiling histotripsy (BH) HIFU approach emulsify tissue in few milliseconds. Lesion volume and temperature effects for different BH sonication parameters are currently not well characterized. In this work, lesion volume, distribution, area of lethal thermal dose were characterized varying tissue-mimicking phantoms (TMP) demonstrated ex vivo tissues.The following varied using...
Background: Recent changes in health care have begun to shift the industry from a volume-based value-based focus. This has led standardized pathways that decrease variability, improve outcomes, and cost. Although numerous studies described for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), few demonstrated sustainability. We report effectiveness sustainability of pathway patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion AIS. Methods: A was developed implemented (in March 2015) at our pediatric hospital...
BACKGROUND: The Perioperative Surgical Home (PSH) is a patient-centered, team-based approach that aims to improve the value of perioperative care. We implemented PSH for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who were undergoing posterior spinal fusion at Children’s National Health System. hypothesized this would patient surgical outcomes and reduce hospital length stay (LOS). METHODS: A multidisciplinary group created evidence-based protocols preoperative, operative, postoperative,...
Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) and tibial tubercle fractures are pathologies that affect the apophysis in preadolescents adolescents. Anatomic alignment of proximal tibia may explain why some children develop OSD or sustain do not. Recent data has shown an association between posterior slope angle (PTSA) both physeal fractures. In this study, we compare radiographic parameters patients with non-OSD knee pain, knees OSD, fracture to elucidate a difference these groups.Patients treated for...
Background: The Classification of Early-Onset Scoliosis (C-EOS) allows providers to differentiate patients, for clinical and research purposes, on the basis etiology their disease as well radiographic parameters. Early Onset Questionnaire (EOSQ) is first disease-specific, parent-reported HRQOL (health-related quality-of-life) outcome measure this condition. We sought determine influence C-EOS designation, parameters, medical comorbidities EOSQ scores quality life in heterogeneous patient...
