Background: Many patients with rotator cuff tears suffer from nocturnal shoulder pain, resulting in sleep disturbance. Purpose: To determine whether tear size correlated disturbance full-thickness tears. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients a diagnosis unilateral (diagnosed via magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), visual analog scale (VAS) quantifying their and American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (ASES)...
Background: Malnutrition is known to be negatively associated with outcomes after multiple orthopedic procedures. We hypothesized that admission albumin levels, as a marker for malnutrition, would correlate postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this study was investigate relationship following surgery ankle fracture. Methods: This retrospective cohort the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. Patients undergoing operative fixation an...
Background: Hallux rigidus is one of the most common toe pathologies in patients greater than 50 years old. Although metatarsophalangeal (MTP) arthrodesis used to improve pain and function, older are often considered be higher-risk operative candidates. There minimal data on outcomes MTP fusion no studies comparing between geriatric younger patients. Methods: This a single-center, prospective study all who underwent August 1, 2015, July 2018. Patient-reported were assessed using Short Form...
Study-Design Retrospective chart review. Objectives Investigate radiographic and clinical outcomes of 3D printed titanium cages (3DTC) vs allograft in patients undergoing Anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF). Methods Consecutive series ACDF with 3DTC were compared to using corticocancellous allograft. Cage subsidence, status, sagittal alignment, patient-reported-outcomes. Radiographic evaluation was performed on the closing intraoperative x-ray films at 6-weeks, 6-months, 1-year....
Case: A 55-year-old man undergoes posterior cervical decompression and instrumentation for progressive myelopathy develops white cord syndrome (WCS) postoperatively with acute tetraplegia. Conclusion: WCS is a rare complication of spinal surgery that thought to be due reperfusion injury. We diagnosed in our patient through postoperative examination consisting tetraplegia magnetic resonance imaging revealing increased signal the cord. In this case, we used intravenous dexamethasone mean...
Currently, clinical physical examination maneuvers alone provide variable reliability in diagnosing full-thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs).To assess the diagnostic accuracy of scapular retraction test (SRT) to predict RCTs.Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 2.A total 331 patients were prospectively evaluated this cohort study. SRT was performed status cuff. A positive indicates an intact cuff, and a negative RCT. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used as gold standard. The examiner...

A 13-year-old female competitive tap dancer with subacute on chronic lateral foot pain is diagnosed calcaneocuboid instability and undergoes successful reconstruction. This case report supports the use of dynamic ultrasound evaluation CC joint for diagnosis causing pain. We also provide an innovative surgical technique ligament repair internal brace kit supplemented periosteal augmentation.
