Topotecan (TP) is an anticancer drug acting as topoisomerase I inhibitor that used in the treatment of many types cancers including leukemia, but it has significant side effects. Andrographolide, a compound extracted from Andrographis paniculata, was recently proven to inhibit growth cancer cells and can induce apoptosis. The aim this study investigate possible synergism between TP andrographolide acute myeloid vitro.U937 leukemic were cultured using Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)...
Orthopaedic surgery continues to be one of the least diverse medical specialties. Recently, increasing emphasis has been placed on improving diversity in field, which includes need better understand existing biases. Despite this, only about 6% orthopaedic surgeons are women and 0.3% Black. Addressing diversity, part, requires a understanding Most universities residency programs have statements policies against discrimination that seek eliminate explicit However, unconscious biases might...
Abstract Background Leg length discrepancy is often associated with distal femur angular deformities such as valgus or flexion. This study aims to report a new technique for simultaneous limb lengthening and acute femoral correction. Methods A retrospective chart review of patients undergoing single procedure was conducted. Patients included had operation where they underwent osteotomy stabilized plate followed by antegrade nailing magnetically controlled intramedullary nail (PRECICE,...
Objective Operating room (OR) fires are considered “never events,” but approximately 650 events occur annually in the United States. Our aim was to detail occurring during orthopedic procedures via a questionnaire because of limited information present on this topic. Methods A 25-question survey witnessing surgical fires, hospital policies and surgeons’ perspective OR sent 617 surgeons 18 institutions whose residency program is member Collaborative Orthopaedic Educational Research Group. The...
The Latarjet procedure is a common bony augmentation for anterior shoulder instability. Historically, screw fixation used to secure the coracoid graft glenoid surface; however, malpositioning of leads oblique insertion that contributes complications. Suture buttons (SBs) are more recent technique have not been studied alongside standard in context biomechanical models angulated fixation. This study aims compare strength single and double, SB at various levels angulation.
Background: Obesity is strongly associated with both Blount disease and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). increases risks for anesthetic postoperative complications, OSA can further exacerbate these risks. Since children might have conditions, we sought to determine the perioperative complications prevalence of among children. Methods: Patients younger than 18 years undergoing corrective surgery were identified from 2 sources as follows: a retrospective review records at single institution...
Neuromuscular scoliosis is commonly associated with a large pelvic obliquity. Scoliosis in children cerebral palsy most managed posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion. While consensus reached regarding the proximal starting point of fusion, controversy exists as to whether distal level fusion should include pelvis correct obliquity.To assess role particularly it impact on obliquity correction, if rate complications differed function fusion.This was retrospective, cohort study which we...
Flexible intramedullary nailing (FIMN) is relatively contraindicated for pediatric length unstable femoral fractures.To evaluate FIMN treatment outcomes diaphyseal fractures in patients aged 5 to 13 years.This retrospective study includes (age range 5-13 years) who received operative a fracture at single institution between 2013 and 2019. Length femur treated with were compared other fixation methods [locked (IMN), submuscular plating (SMP), external fixation] stable FIMN. Exclusion criteria...
Objectives. Complications following treatment of supracondylar humerus fractures are typically seen shortly postoperatively. Late complications occurring years after percutaneous pinning rare but can be indolent and have permanent sequelae. We present cases children presenting with late deep infections to discuss their diagnosis treatment. Methods. After institutional review board approval, we retrospectively reviewed records three who developed at least one year fracture. Patient details...
The American Orthopaedic Association's Council of Residency Directors recommended implementing a universal offer day (UOD) in the 2020 residency match. Although this decision was an attempt to benefit applicants, it is important assess how endeavor perceived.Questionnaires for applicants and program directors asked about perception UOD experience with it. Responses were included from 383 (43% response rate) 84 (45% rate).Applicant Survey: Most students (81.5%) worried or very interview...
Patients with private healthcare plans often defer nonemergent or elective procedures toward the end of year once they have met their deductible. No previous studies evaluated how insurance status and hospital setting may affect surgical timing for upper extremity procedures. Our study aimed to evaluate influence on end-of-the-year cases carpometacarpal (CMC) arthroplasty, carpal tunnel, cubital trigger finger release, nonelective distal radius fixation.Insurance provider dates were gathered...
Biceps tenodesis is a common treatment for pathologies involving the long head of biceps brachii. Given variations in surgical approach, focus has been placed on location to maintain appropriate length-tension relationship. The purpose this study assess tunnel placement subpectoral procedures and correlation position with patient-reported outcomes.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) and Blount’s share a similar presenting age in addition to symptoms such as limp or knee pain. A little overlap is mentioned about both diseases. We sought present cases of children having conditions discuss the implications this co-occurrence on diagnosis management. After institutional review board approval, we retrospectively reviewed records four who developed LCPD. Patient details outcomes were analyzed. Radiographs evaluated for lateral pillar...
Currents trends in pediatric orthopaedics has seen an increase surgeries being successfully completed outpatient setting. Two recent examples include slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and Blount's disease. Surgical indications are well-studied for each pathology, but to our knowledge, there is absence literature analyzing safety efficacy of inpatient vs management either condition. We believed would be no adverse outcomes associated with treatment conditions.To investigate whether...
Objective We conducted this study to evaluate the reproducibility of a new classification system for Blount's disease and assess its correlation with established radiological measures used severity disorder. Materials Methods This is retrospective review children Blount’s that were younger than 10 years age. Recurrence was defined as need second corrective surgery. Radiographs immediately pre-surgery at final follow-up measure mechanical axis (MA), tibial metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle (TMDA),...
