Background: Symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious and costly complication after knee arthroscopy. There continues to be debate regarding the use of VTE prophylaxis arthroscopy, minimal research has explored its cost-effectiveness. Hypothesis: Both aspirin enoxaparin would cost-effective in preventing symptomatic VTE. Study Design: Economic decision analysis; Level evidence, 3. Methods: The literature was searched TriNetX database queried determine range initial rates An...
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) provides improved early functional outcomes and less postoperative morbidity pain compared with total (TKA). Opioid prescribing has increased in the last two decades, recently states USA have developed online Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs to prevent overprescribing of controlled substances. This study evaluates differences opioid requirements between patients undergoing TKA UKA.We retrospectively reviewed 676 consecutive TKAs 241 UKAs....
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a costly and potentially fatal complication in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Some surgeons apply topical vancomycin powder to minimize the risk of during TAA procedures. The purpose our study was determine cost-effectiveness using prevent PJI following propose an economic model that can be applied by foot their decision incorporate practice. Using institution's records cost 1 g powder, we performed break-even analysis calculated absolute reduction number...
Previous research suggests that estrogen plays a role in increased ligamentous laxity observed within the female population. Whereas many studies have sought to evaluate impact of exogenous on anterior cruciate ligament injuries, has not yet explored its medial patellofemoral ligament. Furthermore, less is known about progesterone structures.To determine whether women prescribed systemic (ethinyl estradiol) or (norgestimate etonogestrel) hormonal contraceptives had an risk undergoing...
Symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. To prevent this complication, surgeons often prescribe postoperative chemoprophylaxis. However, much controversy exists regarding the efficacy of chemoprophylaxis because limited studies exploring its use. Furthermore, even less is known about cost-effectiveness. Therefore, study sought to determine cost-effectiveness commonly prescribed chemoprophylactic agents...
Background The incidence of phantom limb pain in patients with Charcot neuroarthropathy who undergo major amputation is not well described. purpose this study was to determine whether and diabetes underwent either a below-knee (BKA) or above-knee (AKA) had an increased rate compared those diagnosis alone. Methods Using international classification disease (ICD) common procedural terminology (CPT) codes, the TriNetX research database identified 10 239 BKA 6122 AKA between 2012 2022. Diabetic...
Category: Ankle Arthritis; Ankle; Other Introduction/Purpose: Pain control is important following TAA. Prior studies have reported that anxiety and depression are associated with worse outcomes after orthopaedic surgery. However, the association between on patient TAA not well-defined. Therefore, purpose of this study was to investigate effects postoperative pain Methods: Following institutional review board approval, a retrospective chart conducted for all patients underwent from 2018-2021...
Category: Ankle; Ankle Arthritis; Other Introduction/Purpose: The use of chemoprophylaxis to prevent thromboembolic complications following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is debated in the field orthopaedics. incidence has been shown vary within literature, and some studies suggest that may be similar what seen hip knee arthroplasty. Therefore, surgeons will prescribe chemoprophylaxis, such as aspirin 325mg or enoxaparin 40mg surgery, especially high-risk patients. To our knowledge,...
Category: Diabetes; Ankle; Trauma; Other Introduction/Purpose: Charcot Foot is a serious and potentially limb-threatening complication of longstanding diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, trauma. One the many challenges that surgeons face when treating predicting long-term outcomes. Therefore, purpose this study was to determine if hemoglobin A1C level associated with an increased risk BKA in patients. Methods: Following institutional board approval, all patients from 2015-2021 diagnosis were...
Category: Other Introduction/Purpose: Social determinants of health play a major role in patient care. Factors such as race, education, and income have all been shown to impact outcomes orthopaedic surgery. While retrospective studies are often limited by data availability, prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) able select their own demographics be included analyses. However, the representation sociodemographic within RCTs regarding foot ankle surgery is undefined. Therefore,...
Sciatic nerve impingement via a tumor of or trauma to the proximal subgluteal region creates considerable surgical challenge that is debated in literature. The neurosurgery literature favors infragluteal approach, while orthopaedics, transgluteal approach preferred. goal our study was present an operative technique for with step-by-step procedural guide increase awareness among orthopaedic surgeons alternative approaches sciatic notch. We retrospectively reviewed case 62-year-old female...
