Background In the last 25 years, it is estimated that over 42,000 male and female swimmers have competed at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I-A level. Despite magnitude of these numbers, little known about epidemiology collegiate swimming injuries. Purpose To describe pattern injuries incurred for one NCAA I men’s women’s team 5 seasons. Study Design Descriptive study. Methods Musculoskeletal head reported in Sports Injury Management System a from 2002–2007 were...
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are at a critical juncture in health research, where combining participatory methods with advancements artificial intelligence machine learning (AI/ML) can promote equity. Community-based research which emerged to help navigate the complicated legacy of historical abuses provide framework allow emerging AI/ML technologies align their unique world views, community strengths, healthcare goals. A consortium researchers (including Tribal...
Background: Little is known about surgeon agreement and accuracy using arthroscopic evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tunnel positioning. Purpose: To investigate on ACL position evaluated arthroscopically between operating surgeons reviewing surgeons. We hypothesized that evaluating would characterize positions significantly differently. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Twelve drilled tunnels 72 cadaveric knees transtibial (TT), medial portal (MP), or...
Background: Multicenter and multisurgeon cohort studies on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are becoming more common. Minimal information exists intersurgeon intrasurgeon variability in ACL tunnel placement. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to analyze placement a series Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) patients clinical patients. hypothesis that there would be minimal between surgeons Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3. Methods:...
American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons across the United States face substantial health disparities, including a disproportionately higher incidence of COVID-19 (1,2). AI/AN living in also serious and care challenges, access to because 90% state's land area is inaccessible by road (3), approximately one half population (AI/AN race alone combination with another race) live remote rural areas (4). To examine extent COVID-19-associated disparities among Alaska, retrospective analysis...
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction tunnel placement is often evaluated by radiographs. This study examines the interobserver reliability of various radiographic measurements ACL tunnels. Hypothesis: When ideal views are obtained, among experienced surgeons would be good to excellent. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Tunnels for single-bundle were drilled and filled with metal interference screws or a tibial reamer on 73 cadaveric knees. Ideal...
Wildland fires cost billions of dollars annually and expose thousands firefighters to a variety occupational hazards. Little is known about injury patterns among wildland firefighters.We examined non-fatal firefighter injuries federal reported the US Department Interior for years 2003-2007. The risk disabling by job assignment, controlling demographic temporal variables, was assessed with logistic regression.Of 1301 injuries, slips, trips, falls were most frequent types sprains/strains...
In meniscus transplantation, allograft size mismatch causes increased contact pressures and early degeneration of the knee. The purpose this study is to compare accuracy reliability sizing tibial plateau using three-dimensional (3-D) computed tomography (CT) scans versus plain radiographs (XR). Anteroposterior (AP) lateral XR as well CT with 3-D reconstructions were performed on 16 cadaveric knees. Sagittal coronal dimensions hemiplateaus measured each imaging modality then disarticulated...
The Snyder classification scheme is the most commonly used system for classifying superior labral injuries. Although this intended to be arthroscopic visual only, it thought that other nonarthroscopic historical variables also influence classification.This study was conducted evaluate intrasurgeon and intersurgeon agreement in variable presentations of labrum clinical on treatment choices surgeons.Cohort (diagnosis); Level evidence, 3.A group shoulder surgeons were asked rank order...
The purpose of this cadaveric study was to analyze variation in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tunnel placement between surgeons and the influence preferred surgical technique surgeon experience level using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT). In study, 12 drilled ACL tunnels on six knees each. Surgeons were divided by (two-incision [TI], medial portal [MP], transtibial [TT]). aperture locations analyzed 3D CT scans compared with radiographic footprint criteria. femoral...
Like other Indigenous Circumpolar populations, Alaska Native (AN) people experience different patterns of cancer than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Every 5 years, the Tumour Registry releases a comprehensive report on among AN people; this study provides 50 years surveillance data. Five-year annual-average age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated for time-periods ranging 1969–2018. data compared with US whites (SEER 9). Mortality 1994–2018 using from National Center Health...
To develop and evaluate the feasibility reliability of an alternative three-dimensional (3D) measurement system capable characterizing tunnel position orientation in ACL reconstructed knees.We developed a surgically oriented 3D for femoral tibial drill tunnels from reconstructions. This is accomplished by simulating positioning bit originally used to create within bone, which allows angular spatial descriptions along defined axes that are established with respect previously described...
Background The present study aimed to describe the comorbidity burden of a rotator cuff disease cohort and examine effects patient comorbidities on general health shoulder-specific outcome measures. Methods A retrospective patients with was identified using coding International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification. Demographic variables numbers systemic musculoskeletal comorbid conditions were collected. General tools used assess disability. Analyses regression,...
