Background: De Quervain tenosynovitis is commonly seen in patients who perform repetitive wrist ulnar deviation with thumb abduction and extension. Previous studies comparing nonsurgical options have contributed to a lack of consensus about ideal management. This study’s purpose was analyze results prospectively randomized treated either corticosteroid injection (CSI) alone versus CSI immobilization. Methods: Radial sided pain, first dorsal compartment tenderness, positive Finkelstein test...

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following radial head arthroplasty (RHA) is a rare, yet devastating complication. Current treatment options for PJI comprise debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR); resection arthroplasty; one- or two-stage revision. Two-stage revision the current gold standard of at hip, shoulder, knee, involves using an antibiotic spacer to maintain limb length soft tissue tension. Despite widespread use this technique in other sites, its RHA has not been...

Objectives Video game use is becoming increasingly popular and projected to continue rise for the foreseeable future. Gamers are at risk unique upper extremity injuries related overuse or trauma when playing interactive gaming systems. The purpose of this study was characterize gaming-related in patients presenting emergency departments across United States over past twenty years. Methods Data from National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) queried all using computer equipment...

The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes distal radius fractures with a volar ulnar corner (VUC) component treated standard plating or by specific VUC fixation. This investigated outcomes, radiographic measures, and specialty-based preference associated surgical treatment injuries using VUC-specific fixation versus nonspecific We retrospectively analyzed for 39 patients fracture at level-1 trauma center over 10 years, 2011-2021. Patients underwent either implants such as rim plate,...

Lisfranc injuries are often missed initially or not anatomically reduced, leading to midfoot collapse, arthrosis, and pain. Operative management of these is also fraught with complications, particularly respect the soft tissues. Wound dehiscence infection uncommon. The goal this study was analyze outcomes a minimally invasive technique in reduction percutaneous fixation low-energy displaced determine if it safe alternative more traditional, open approaches.A retrospective review performed...

Most closed clavicle fractures are treated nonoperatively. Research during the past decade has reported differences in treatment of based on insurance status US and may highlight unmet needs a vulnerable population, particularly because new data show that surgery lead to improved outcomes select populations. Large-scale, national needed better inform this debate.(1) Does likelihood operative fixation vary among patients with different types insurance? (2) What demographic socioeconomic...

Academic medical centers greatly benefit from retaining their physicians; that ensures continuity in patient care, enhances resident education, and maintains a pool of experienced clinicians researchers. Despite its importance, little research has been published on the retainment academic faculty orthopaedics. To address this gap, study investigates demographic trends orthopaedic surgeons 2016 to 2022. By analyzing data pertaining gender distribution, years practice, productivity,...

Quantification of a researcher's productivity relies on objective bibliometric measurements, such as the Hirsch index (h-index). However, h-index is not field and time-normalized possesses bias against newer researchers. Our study first to compare relative citation ratio (RCR), new article-level metric developed by National Institutes Health, with in academic orthopaedics.Academic orthopaedic programs United States were identified using 2022 Fellowship Residency Electronic Interactive...

Background: Entrapment of the superficial sensory branch radial nerve (SRN) commonly results in debilitating pain dorsoradial wrist. Symptom relief following SRN neurolysis is often incomplete or temporary due to recurrent perineural scarring. Methods: We performed a retrospective review with prospective follow-up all patients neuropathy who were treated and wrapping using an amnion-based allograft adhesion barrier over one-year interval. Measured outcomes included rated by Visual Analog...

Rotation of the forearm is a result complex interaction among radius, ulna, and interosseous membrane. Although radius recognized as curved, ulna generally thought "straight bone." To better describe normal anatomy, which may lead to more successful anatomic fixation fractures, we aimed apply method measuring ulnar bow determine mean in adults.(1) what degree bowed coronal sagittal planes adult forearms? (2) plane forearms?Radiographs forearms adults taken during 1-year period were initially...

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that symptomatic transposed ulnar nerves have a larger average cross-sectional area (CSA) than in situ nerves.We conducted retrospective review charts and sonograms 68 patients who had failed nerve transposition compared 48 with cubital tunnel syndrome not undergone surgical management. In addition, postoperative were preoperative studies when available. Failure defined as persistence or recurrence symptoms neuropathy postoperatively....
