The use of animals to augment traditional medical therapies was reported as early the 9th century but our knowledge has not been studied in an orthopaedic patient population. purpose this study evaluate role animal-assisted therapy using dogs postoperative recovery patients after THA and TKA.We asked: (1) Do have effect on patients' perception pain total joint arthroplasty measured by VAS? (3) satisfaction with their hospital stay Hospital Consumer Assessment Healthcare Providers Systems...
Macrophages regulate protective immune responses to infectious microbes, but aberrant macrophage activation frequently drives pathological inflammation. To identify regulators of vigorous activation, we analyzed RNA-seq data from synovial macrophages and identified SLAMF7 as a receptor associated with superactivated state in rheumatoid arthritis. We implicated IFN-γ key regulator expression engaging drove strong wave inflammatory cytokine expression. Induction TNF-α after engagement...
Predictors of success orthopaedic residents on the American Board Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) examination are controversial. We therefore evaluated numerous variables that may suggest or predict candidate performance ABOS examination. reviewed files 161 (all graduates) from one residency program distributed into two study groups based whether they passed failed their first attempt Part I II 1991 through 2005. success/failure included mean percentile score In-Training Examination (OITE) (Years...
Abstract Background Burnout and depression among healthcare professionals trainees remain alarmingly common. In 2009, 56% of orthopaedic surgery residents reported burnout. Alcohol illicit drug use are potential exacerbating factors burnout depression; however, these have been scarcely studied in residency populations. Questions/purposes (1) What proportion report symptoms depression? (2) independently associated with an resident reporting emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, low...
Introduction: The numeric score for the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 is one of only universal, objective, scaled criteria comparing many students who apply to orthopaedic surgery residency. However, on February 12, 2020, it was announced that would be transitioning pass/fail scoring. purpose this study (1) determine most important factors used interview and resident selection after change (2) assess how these have changed compared with a previous report selection....
Background Surgical site infections are one of the more common major complications elbow fracture surgery and can contribute to other adverse outcomes, prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs. Questions/purposes We asked: (1) What factors associated with a surgical infection after surgery? (2) When taking subset closed fractures only, what infection? (3) organisms isolated from an open treatment? Methods One thousand three hundred twenty adult patients underwent for between...
Introduction Common treatment strategies for proximal humerus fractures include non-surgical treatment, open reduction internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. There is currently no consensus regarding the superiority of any one surgical strategy. We used network meta-analysis randomized controlled trials to determine most successful fractures. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web Science, Cochrane Central electronic databases were searched comparing 3- 4-part...
Orthopaedic surgery has historically been one of the least diverse fields in medicine U.S. Despite having declared a critical issue by American Association, lack diversity and inclusion across all metrics remains persistent problem. In order to balance representation within orthopaedic surgery, multiyear multilevel approach should be considered life cycle surgeon. Talented individuals from backgrounds must identified given early exposure surgery. They nurtured, mentored, retained....
There are substantial variations in medical services that difficult to explain based on differences pathophysiology alone. The scale of variation and the number people affected suggest potential lower healthcare costs with reduction practice variation. Our study assessed across three affiliated urban sites one city United States related following diagnosis hand osteoarthritis (OA) patients.(1) What factors associated increased surgery first year after OA? (2) How much exists among surgeons...
Historically, the published literature on “terrible triad” injuries has shown a high rate of unacceptable results. The use systematic treatment protocols may improve functional outcome. authors performed retrospective study all patients aged 18 years or older who underwent surgical for elbow fracture dislocation at their institution over period 7 years. Surgical involved fixation replacement radial head, repair anterior capsule coronoid in most cases, and lateral collateral ligament....
Since the first successful hand transplantation in 1998, 72 patients have been operated on for unilateral/bilateral across 13 countries. There multiple studies evaluating outcomes of transplantation; however, there is considerable variability among outcome measures evaluated these studies.This article reports functional a patient with bilateral transplants at mid-forearm level serial follow-ups over 3.5 years. Different parameters used to study include Disabilities Arm, Shoulder, and Hand...
