Patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty have higher rates of anxiety, depression or anxiety and than the general population costs care, which lead to levels postoperative dissatisfaction readmission rates. We evaluated patients hip knee with diagnoses depression, both.Our hospital's prospectively collected data from Michigan's statewide database were reviewed 2013 2018. Rates determined based on preoperative anxiolytic antidepressant medications using National Drug Codes.A 4107 cases...

Temporary passive traction sutures holding the eye into elevation enhanced success of operations to remove short superior oblique tendon sheath which was restraining in adduction (Brown's syndrome). The technique, results, and complications surgery are discussed.

Postoperative range of movement (ROM) is an important measure successful and satisfying total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Reduced postoperative ROM may be evident in up to 20% all TKAs negatively affects satisfaction. To improve ROM, manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) performed. Historically, a limited preoperatively was used as the key harbinger ROM. However, comorbidities also useful predicting stiffness. The goal assess preoperative patients undergoing TKA relative incidence MUA. hope...

Digital technology has emerged as a useful tool for preoperative and postoperative patient engagement remote monitoring. Smartphones are equipped with motion-sensing technology, apps can be designed which use these features to create simple method measuring range of motion. The purpose this study was determine the accuracy digital in assessing knee motion using smartphone app, compared traditional goniometric measurements an office setting. Fifty-three (53) patients clinical practice were...

Minimizing leg length (LLD) and hip offset (OD) discrepancies is critical for tissue tension implant longevity in total arthroplasty (THA). The direct anterior approach (DAA) helps surgeons recreate these values under fluoroscopy. Several methods to accomplish this have been described, with no consensus on which superior. This study evaluated the ability minimize LLD OD using a surgeon-controlled, adjustable fluoroscopic grid. We hypothesized that tool would parameters within 10 mm of...

Abstract Historically, anterior referencing and posterior are two specific techniques that surgeons can use for proper sizing of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this review, we introduce concept “anatomic referencing” which has become useful with more incremental sizes to perfectly match native anatomy each patient reduce overstuffing patellofemoral joint medial-lateral (ML) overhang. Fifty consecutive TKA cases were reviewed where novel anatomic technique was...

For many decades, a common Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) citation community based orthopaedic residency programs has been lack of scholarly activity. Many obstacles have cited in the literature low output scholarship, from mentoring and infrastructure, to perceived value research. In this paper we sought 1) describe interventions directed toward increasing activity through our scholarship initiative program (SIP), 2) provide an objective comparison items (SAI)...

Case . Chondrosarcomas are the second most common primary malignant sarcoma of bone, though it is overall a rare tumor. Our case presents 36-year-old Caucasian male who complained an enlarging mass at his third finger MCP joint. After assessing full clinical scenario, was determined that wide excision with ray resection would provide best result for this patient. Conclusion This study explains malignancy presenting in proximal phalanx hand. The following report will review chondrosarcomas...

Heterotopic ossification (H.O.) is a common occurrence after total hip arthroplasty (THA) with significant potential clinical ramifications. Controversy still exists regarding the exact etiology of disorder, including possible risk factors. Surgical technique, surgical approach, postoperative medication protocols and even thromboembolic prophylaxis have been implicated in formation H.O. Our study looked at one institution single surgeon performing direct anterior THA (DAA THA) patients who...

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are one of the most feared complications in realm adult reconstruction due to substantial morbidity and mortality associated with these cases. Advancements arthroplasty have been made across a variety areas interest including implant surfaces, design, material science, etc., but focus on infection prevention treatment is utmost importance. A new technology has created that targets biofilm aims prevent total arthroplasty. In this manuscript we aim...

Surgical-site infections are potential complications of total joint arthroplasties. Many strategies, ranging from preoperative to postoperative, have been developed in an attempt mitigate this morbidity. Biofilms implicated difficulties treatment. Therefore, antimicrobials increasingly used combat these problems. In report, we will summarize different protocols which utilize a new antimicrobial solution. Providing surgeons with effective prevention option for is crucial positive outcomes and...
