Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has become increasingly popular since its introduction to the United States. The purpose of this study was assess current trends and use rTSA, anatomic (aTSA), hemiarthroplasty (HA) from 2011 2014. Shoulder data National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample database were analyzed for years 2014 using International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification procedure codes. For each procedure, patient hospital characteristics identified....
Introduction: Although the 11-factor modified frailty index (mFI-11) has been shown to predict adverse outcomes in elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures, newer 5-factor not evaluated this population. The goal of study is evaluate mFI-5 as a predictor morbidity and mortality surgical management fractures. Methods: NSQIP database was queried 60 years age older who underwent fractures between 2005 2016. score, which comprised diabetic status, history COPD or current pneumonia,...
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to investigate the current disparities for major lower extremity amputation in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and infection. Methods: A retrospective analysis National Surgical Quality Improvement Program's database years 2011 2017 was conducted. Multivariate models were used isolate effect race ethnicity on likelihood a below-knee or above-knee (BKA AKA, respectively) CLI secondary type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, peripheral...
Abstract Background and Objectives With recent advances in chemotherapy surgical techniques, the trend treatment of osteosarcoma continues to progress towards limb salvage. However, studies comparing salvage with amputation continue be limited by selection bias small sample sizes. This study utilized propensity‐score matching minimize potential confounders compare survival rates patients that were treated vs surgery. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program was identify...
COVID-19 altered National Football League (NFL) player and team training during the 2020 offseason. All preseason games were cancelled resulting in absence of game play before first week regular season. Thus, concerns exist regarding injury susceptibility players season games.

Median oral morphine equivalents interquartile ranges were analyzed by region for initial post-op 90-day total opioid-naive patients undergoing following: carpal tunnel release; anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; arthroscopic...
Background: Infection following wrist arthroplasty (WA) or fusion (WF) is an uncommon but difficult complication often resulting in explantation and prolonged courses of antibiotics. The purposes this study are to: (1) characterize the demographic trends individuals undergoing WA WF; (2) determine incidence postoperative infection; (3) identify risk factors for infection. Methods: PearlDiver database was used to query 100% Medicare Standard Analytic files from 2005 2014. Patients radiocarpal...
