Abstract Background Concerns about the cost and convenience of postsurgical physical therapy (PT) have sparked interest in unsupervised, home-based rehabilitation. However, effectiveness unsupervised home exercise after primary TKA has not been previously evaluated. Questions/purposes (1) Can surgery provide noninferior recovery passive knee flexion compared with formal outpatient PT? (2) Does a web-based platform for an advantage printed PT manual? Methods We conducted randomized,...
Medical school clerkship grades are used to evaluate orthopedic surgery residency applicants, however, high interinstitutional variability in grade distribution calls into question the utility of when evaluating applicants from different medical schools. This study aims among schools and look for trends over recent years. Applications submitted Rush University's program 2015, 2019, 2022 were collected Electronic Residency Application Service. top 100 according 2023–2024 U.S. News World...
Traumatic rhabdomyolysis is a systemic manifestation of muscle injury and can occur from various traumatic etiologies, including crush syndrome (CrshS) compartment (CS). Although historically described in natural disaster survivors trapped under collapsed structures, the frequency CrshS has increased setting ‘found down’ patients opioid overdoses. Signs symptoms injured limb may range pressure-induced skin changes to neurologic deficits paralysis. its pathophysiology differs CS, severe...
This study classifies common questions searched by patients from the Google search engine and categorizes types quality of online education resources used regarding carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) release (CTR).Google's results were extracted compiled using "People also ask" function for frequent associated web pages CTS CTR. Questions categorized Rothwell's classification with further topic subcategorization. Web evaluated Journal American Medical Association Benchmark Criteria source...
The use of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair with concomitant internal bracing for throwing athletes is a viable treatment option, but must take into account tear location, quality, the expected length athlete's career, desire to advance next level competition, and age. There has been increased interest in UCL injuries overhead due advancements surgical technique, as well improved technologies anchor suture material. In addition, return sport can be accelerated compared reconstruction....
Abstract Background Four corner fusion (4CF) can be performed using various techniques, each with its own efficacy and complication profile. Kirschner wires (K-wires) are a reliable cost-effective method when performing 4CF. Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the union rate profile utilizing K-wires Methods A retrospective chart review studying patients who underwent 4CF from multisurgeon, single-institution database. Demographic data were collected, functional outcomes...
Introduction: Long oblique and spiral metacarpal shaft fractures are length-unstable fracture patterns susceptible to malrotation shortening. We expand the use of intramedullary screw fixation for traditional including long with cerclage wire augmentation. Materials Methods: Surgical technique screws fractures, augmented wires, is described. Case series patients who underwent this over a 3-year period from 2 surgeons at single institution were evaluated. The inclusion criteria included or...
Upper extremity sensory neuromas can be extremely debilitating leading to pain and dysfunction. Surgical management of either ablative or reconstructive. The primary aim this study was examine the outcomes surgically treated within forearm, wrist, hand with exclusion digital neuromas.
Abstract Background Ulnar shortening osteotomy (USO) is a common procedure to treat symptomatic ulnar-sided wrist symptoms in patients with positive ulnar variance who fail nonoperative management. Plate placement on the volar, dorsal, or subcutaneous border of ulna has been described. There remains debate regarding optimal plate minimize soft tissue irritation and need for removal. The goal this study determine whether position along volar cortex versus border, as well distance from...
Traumatic intrasubstance ruptures of the biceps brachii are rare. Injury to its tendinous insertion or origin is most common. Isolated short head injuries rare, and musculocutaneous nerve involvement has been reported for these injuries. We present a unique case report young, healthy man who sustained symptomatic median compression resulting from an tear after snow blower injury. Short belly rupture with injury-associated scar tissue both nerves was identified in operating room....
Muscle herniations occur through acquired fascial defects in the lower extremities; upper-extremity are rare. The affected patients typically adult men engaging strenuous exercise or with injury; pediatric cases infrequent. We a patient symptomatic, forearm herniation treated defect closure using an acellular dermal allograft. This case report highlights not only presence of this rare condition pediatrics but also safe and viable treatment option for population. presented pain soft-tissue...
Punching injuries to the hand are frequent and can result in fourth fifth carpometacarpal (CMC) fracture-dislocations. Fourth CMC fracture-dislocations unstable, dorsal metacarpal dislocations most common. Operative management for maintaining reduction of unstable fracture-dislocation was closed percutaneous pinning; however, delayed fractures, open is necessary. We report on a plating technique used acute delayed, and/or This method novel allows physiological motion at joint through...
Radial neck fractures are common injuries of the elbow in pediatric patient. Surgical intervention is recommended for significant angulation and displacement or mechanical blocks to motion. malunion a rare complication may result altered joint mechanics and, if severe, incongruency. Dislocation radial head has yet be reported this population after malunion. Treatment malunions with dislocation varies can include excision osteotomy. Outcomes osteotomy limited case reports small cases series....
Background: Hip dysplasia can lead to pain and dysfunction in the young adult. Acetabular undercoverage leads abnormal joint loading results degeneration, accelerating need for arthroplasty this patient population. Conceptually, treatment focuses on increasing acetabular coverage form of periacetabular osteotomy. The procedure be performed through iliofemoral approach, performing an anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) osteotomy enhance visualisation approach. Several techniques have been...
