Abstract Alterations in the mechanical properties or “hardness” of tissues allow physicians to detect disease by palpation. Recently, attempts have been made quantitate and image these tissue with use magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). This technique has validated ex vivo specimens, including kidney, breast, prostate. In this study, MRE imaging rat renal cortex is demonstrated a model that will facilitate further studies. Normal rats nephrocalcinosis induced either 2 4 weeks ethylene...
With the establishment of state-based health insurance marketplaces, how U.S. insurers are responding to market pressures and influencing premiums have represented important questions. We made novel use Standard Poor's (S&P) Financial, a Wall Street financial dataset platform, analyze trends in capitalization total direct written (DWPs) from 2001 2016 top 5, 10, 25 companies. Our results indicate that concentration publicly traded companies has remained relatively stable over past decade....
To determine if anterior pelvic fracture pattern in lateral compression (LC) sacral fractures correlates with subsequent displacement on examination under anesthesia (EUA) or follow-up both nonoperative and operative cases.Retrospective cohort study.Level 1 trauma center.Two hundred twenty-seven skeletally mature patients traumatic LC (OTA/AO 61B1.1, 61B2.1-2, 61B3.1-2) ring injuries treated nonoperatively, EUA, fixation were included.The study intervention included retrospective review of...
To apply the recently developed fracture-related infection criteria to patients presenting for repair of fracture nonunion and determine incidence associated organisms occult in these patients.Retrospective study.Tertiary referral trauma center.Patients with after operative intervention.Demographic variables, injury characteristics, culture results, physical examination laboratory values at time presentation.A total 270 were identified. Sixty-eight percent (n = 184) had no clinical or signs...
To evaluate mechanical treatment failure in a large patient cohort sustaining distal femur fracture treated with femoral locking plate (DFLP).This retrospective case-control series evaluated failures of DFLPs.The study was conducted at 8 Level I trauma centers from 2010 to 2017.One hundred one patients OTA/AO 33-A and C fractures were DFLPs that experienced failure.The intervention included the DFLP, affected by (implant loosening or breakage).The main outcome measures injury DFLP details;...
To evaluate the injury, patient, and microbiological characteristics that place patients at risk for recalcitrant fracture-related infection osteomyelitis despite appropriate initial treatment.Retrospective chart review.Three level I trauma centers.Two hundred fifty-seven undergoing surgical debridement antibiotic therapy from 2003 to 2019.Patients were categorized as having undergone serial bone if they had 2 separate procedures a minimum of 6 weeks apart with full course antibiotics in...
Individuals with pelvic and acetabular fractures are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The purpose this study was to determine whether serum markers for thrombophilia rapid thromboelastography (r-TEG) values correlate increased VTE among patients fractures.
PURPOSE.Collagen fiber remodeling in the vitreous body has been implicated cases of vitreomacular traction, macular hole, and retinal detachment, also may occur during pharmacologic vitreolysis.The purpose this study was to evaluate quantitative polarized light imaging (QPLI) as a tool for studying organization near vitreoretinal interface control enzymatically perturbed conditions.METHODS.Fiber alignment measured anterior-posterior sections bovine porcine vitreous.Additional tests were...
To determine the financial and clinical impact of a standardized, multidisciplinary team for surgical clearance optimization in geriatric hip fracture patients.Retrospective case series.Level-1 trauma center.One hundred twenty-four patients (age >65 years old) preprotocol group (cohort 1; January 2017-December 2018) 98 postprotocol 2; October 2019-January 2021) with operative fractures.Implementation protocol consisting Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine Orthopedic Surgery departments...
Abstract The relationship between preoperative hyponatremia and 30-day outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is currently unknown. present study used prospectively collected data to quantify the association odds of major morbidity (MM), longer length stay, readmission, reoperation within 30 days THA. Patients who underwent THA 2012 2014 were identified in National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database using validated Current Procedural Terminology codes. included if they...
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine factors that may affect transfusion rates for patients requiring an anterior intrapelvic (AIP) approach acetabulum fracture. Methods: This a multicenter retrospective comparison (3 trauma centers at two urban academic centers). Patients who had AIP fracture without other notable same-day procedures (irrigation and débridement and/or external fixation were only allowed procedures) included. One hundred ninety-five adult (18 older)...
Background: Fitness trackers have been used to measure postoperative mobility following arthroplasty procedures, but there is no published research using fitness tracker data compare mobilization screw fixation versus dynamic for syndesmotic ankle injuries. The objective of this study was steps and activity levels with either endobutton or a wearable tracker. Methods: Patients that underwent operative management fractures disruption transfixation were provided Fitbit Inspire electronically...
Pain is multifactorial, and pain intensity has been shown to be influenced by patients' thoughts. The Negative Thoughts Questionnaire Short Form (NPTQ-SF) can used quantify unhelpful negative cognitive biases about pain, but the relationship between thoughts orthopaedic surgery outcomes not known.
Previous studies have attempted to characterize patellar morphology and its relation patellofemoral osteoarthritis but utilized relatively small samples. We designed a large-scale cadaveric analysis elucidate any potential relationship. Patellar in 1,032 patellae was characterized using facet concavity patterns initially developed by Wiberg the ratio of lateral medial lengths. Patellofemoral arthritis grading for specimens previously completed based primarily on osteophytic burden. The...
To evaluate the efficacy of an intraoperative, postfixation fracture hematoma block on postoperative pain control and opioid consumption in patients with acute femoral shaft fractures.Prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial.Academic Level I Trauma Center.Eighty-two consecutive isolated fractures (OTA/AO 32) underwent intramedullary rod fixation.Patients were to receive injection containing 20 mL normal saline or 0.5% ropivacaine addition a standardized multimodal regimen...
A 34-year-old female sustained a 1.8 cm full-thickness chondral defect of the right lateral trochlear surface as result intramedullary tibial nailing via suprapatellar portal to treat displaced sided open comminuted spiral fracture distal shaft. An osteochondral allograft was used defect. Iatrogenic injury intraarticular structures is potential complication when inserting nail portal. Using proper technique with cannula systems and guide pins essential lowering risk damage structures.
An AP knee radiograph is considered adequate if the patella centred between femoral condyles. Our previous studies demonstrated a tendency for lateral patellar deviation on an view orthogonal to posterior However, findings were based cadaveric samples limited by lack of soft tissue effects positioning.After excluding those with deformity or damage osseous ligamentous structures, 106 MRI scans randomly selected. Patellar centring was calculated as percentage total distal intercondylar width...
