Background: The lateral center-edge angle of Wiberg (LCEA) and Tönnis (TA) rely on a “horizon” that functions as reference point for measurements hip dysplasia weightbearing anteroposterior pelvis radiographs. There are 3 different horizons currently utilized depending surgeon preference: (1) line parallel to the radiographic floor (F), (2) connects inferior portions acetabular teardrops (ATs), or (3) ischial tuberosities (ITs). It is imperative accurately assess degree initial workup select...
Most outcome studies of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) do not discriminate by arthritis etiology. The primary purpose this study was to compare the complications TAA between posttraumatic fracture osteoarthritis (fracture PTOA) and (POA).Ninety-nine patients who underwent were retrospectively evaluated with a mean follow-up 3.2 years (range 2 7.6 years). 44 (44%) had diagnosis POA while 55 (56%) PTOA (40 malleolar fractures [73%], 14 pilon fractures[26%], 1 talar [1%]). Patient demographics,...
On August 31, 2017, Ohio passed legislation that regulates how opioids can be prescribed postoperatively. Studies have shown such is successful in reducing the morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) after certain orthopaedic procedures.(1) To determine if opioid prescription-limiting reduced cumulative MMEs hip arthroscopy without significantly affecting rates of emergency department (ED) visits, hospital readmissions, and reoperations within 90 days postoperatively, (2) to assess risk...
Study Design: Retrospective comparative study. Objective: This study compared outcomes for patients managed with a lateral approach to interbody fusion [lateral (LLIF) or oblique (OLIF)] versus posterior (PLIF) transforaminal (TLIF) treatment of adjacent segment disease (ASD) above below prior lumbar construct. Summary Background Data: No has approaches more traditional the ASD. Methods: review was performed who underwent single-level symptomatic ASD between January 2010 and December 2021....
Traumatic hip dislocations require prompt diagnosis and reduction to preserve the native joint. The classic irreducible posterior fracture-dislocation has been described as an immobile, slightly flexed, internally rotated on physical exam. Classically, this pattern is associated with ipsilateral femoral head fracture. purpose of our report present dislocation preserved motion in setting unstable pelvic ring injury without pathology. Despite lacking clinical features hip, closed emergency...
The sagittal plane of the distal tibia has not been well-described. This study sought to characterize morphology, determine symmetry from side side, and identify differences based on hindfoot alignment.
Background: Distal anterior cortical perforation is 1 complication of antegrade femoral nailing. The effect greater trochanteric (GT) starting points on risk has not been described in human models. This study assessed the influence sagittal plane point rate using 3D CT-reconstructions femora. Secondarily, patient age and nail radius curvature (ROC) were as factors. Methods: CT scans 53 patients (18 non-geriatric (<65 yr), 35 geriatric (>65 yr)) with non-fractured femora converted into...
Category: Ankle Arthritis; Ankle; Other Introduction/Purpose: Total ankle arthroplasty is a notoriously challenging operation typically reserved for well-resourced academic tertiary care facilities. Limited studies support its safety in community hospital setting, while outcomes county setting have not been previously described. Demonstrating that TAA can be performed effectively and safely broader settings critical given the importance of access to care, prevalence tibiotalar arthritis,...
Category: Trauma; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: The native sagittal plane alignment of the distal tibia has not been well-described and implications during fixation fractures. Cavovarus foot previously thought to influence gastrocsoleus tightness potential for anterior talar escape in setting an osseous injury this region. However, relationship between midfoot morphology is undescribed. Characterization anatomy may be helpful achieve adequate reduction purpose study was primarily characterize...
Category: Ankle Arthritis; Introduction/Purpose: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has been shown to provide satisfactory clinical outcomes for the treatment of end-stage tibiotalar arthritis. However, most outcome studies do not discriminate by arthritis etiology, and there are currently no large-scale comparing TAA performed primary osteoarthritis (POA) versus post-traumatic secondary fracture sequelae (PTOA). The purpose this study was investigate effect etiology on post-operative...
